If they stick to the nostalgic/reunion type bands…I believe Bachman Turner Overdrive is back together and are releasing a new album this year followed by a tour.
ETA: Yes, indeed,http://bachmanandturner.com/
Besides, I can imagine 75 000+ people singing “Takin’ Care of Business”
BTO would never have a better venue in which to play Looking Out for #1.
I think now that they’ve exhausted the 60’s dinosaurs, they should probably move on to slightly more current arena acts. By “more current,” I mean maybe move from the 60’s and 70’s into the 80’s and 90’s.
AC/DC could do a kick ass show.
Some others that would be safe, play familiar hits and not need walkers yet:
John Cougar Mellencamp
Aerosmith
Bon Jovi
REM
Green Day
Let the host city’s local high school marching band play. Viewership at halftime can’t be worth all the money spent on booking elaborate stage shows, can it?
Except not Glen, please.
I think they should get Tori Amos, Bjork and PJ Harvey. And reunite L7.
Seriously? The guy’s been doing arena concerts for, what, 3 or 4 decades by this point. Do you really think they’d not ask him to do it because he’s gay? I’d think more people would be put off by that crazy rock n roll music these young whippersnappers are performing these days.
Is this a whoosh?
My husband said last night he wanted to see drum corps.
The halftime show is not about putting on a rocking, edgey, or awesome show. The NFL, networks, and sponsors all want something that is family friendly for a live performance before the biggest audience the network is likely to draw all year, but will also keep the over 30 crowd in front of the TV to see more commercials. In the Superbowl thread in the game room, I suggested Jimmy Buffet for next year. He’s well known to us geezers, still touring (I think), and reasonably “safe” for the venue.
Being apparently the only person who was utterly baffled by the catchphrase “WHO DAT?” (and the fact that nobody seemed to find it the least bit problematic), for next time I suggest a halftime show featuring the “Jolsonettes” performing “My Mammy” in blackface.
The AC/DC suggestion upthread was great.
But, I think they will use the Texas location for next years game to go country. Probably go with Taylor Swift & Rascal Flatts, plus someone older to keep the 30+ crowd watching.
If it’s going to be in TX, how about ZZ Top?
I mentioned it in another thread…
Duran Duran
I mentioned them in the other thread. Old fogies like them. Nice simple songs. Logistically simple. And if FOX are broadcasting it, there’s a Billy Gibbons/Bones crossover.
I would love for Taylor Swift to have a wardrobe malfunction! 
Even though the odds of them agreeing to do it are fairly low, I’d love to see Pearl Jam do it.
