Forget about who will compete in the Feb. 6,2011, Super Bowl in Arlington. Real gamblers are taking odds on who will play the halftime show. That’s a decision the NFL likely won’t announce until this fall.
While the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee has no say in who gets the gig, CEO Bill Lively told us that they’ve considered asking the NFL to use the same act that’s booked for the committee’s concert at Cowboys Stadium in September (Part of their series that begins with Faith Hill next month.) He wasn’t optimistic that that could actually happen, since they want to have their September concert announced soon, and the NFL may not want to commit that early.
Anyway, this blog speculates that the Super Bowl performer has got to be a country act. (Since this is Texas?) Â His guesses are Kenny Chesney, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, and Jimmy Buffett(?). I think he’s far off the mark.
But whom should the NFL bring to Arlington?
