Older fans Okd in Super Bowl show
Older fans of the Rolling Stones will get the chance to shake it during the band’s Super Bowl halftime show after all.
Planners originally sought people ages 18 to 45 to take the field and dance at Ford Field in Detroit on Feb. 5. But after hearing from older fans of the group, whose founding members are more than a decade older than 45, the National Football League said it would accept dancers 18 and older -- no age limit.
“We wanted to open it up,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday.
The NFL is offering 2,000 people a chance to watch the Stones play on the field. They will be expected to dance, sing and cheer. The league is also seeking people to dance during Stevie Wonder’s pregame performance.
People are asked to apply in groups of 20 or more. Sign-up is under way on the website of Star Flow Entertainment, the company organizing the volunteers.
