How to Get Into the Super Bowl Free

There's a catch - organizers are seeking 500 people to help with the halftime show.

Organizers of the halftime show for Super Bowl 50 taking place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara invited Bay Area sports fans to be part of the event as members of the stage crew.

About 500 fans will be chosen to be part of the crew that helps run the stage onto the field and performs other duties during the Feb. 7 Pepsi Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show, featuring the British band Coldplay, Alicia Keys and other special artists.

Super Bowl officials said the field team members will undergo a limited background check and must be over the age of 18 and able to attend all rehearsals.
