Super Bowl Halftime Rehearsals Begin

Entertainment Tonight, January 30, 2002
By: Reported by Mark Steines

 

[The following is the script from reporter Mark Steines, who is in New Orleans covering the Super Bowl for Entertainment Tonight. The Tuesday edition of Entertainment Tonight included this 30-second voice-over about Super Bowl rehearsals in New Orleans.]

 

ET has your first look at the big E*Trade Halftime Show -- to be performed on a heart-shaped stage. We watched as three-thousand cast members were wrangled into position during rehearsal, only to be sent running for cover when Mother Nature proved to be less than cooperative.

Earlier, a 300-member crew practiced moving the 20 rolling stage pieces into place. The whole thing weighs 50,000 pounds, but the producers from Clear Channel Entertainment tell us it will take less than six minutes to setup.
