Super Bowl LVI may not go down in Los Angeles in February after all.
According to a report from ABC on Wednesday (January 5), the NFL is searching for stadiums outside of California, including AT&T Stadium in Texas, as a possible replacement venue for the Super Bowl.
In the report, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy explained that the NFL looks into backup venues for this Super Bowl every year, but said the league still plans to host the game in Los Angeles on February 13 and is actually “ahead of schedule,” in the planning process of the event.
In addition to Snoop Dogg, megastar artists Eminem, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige will take the center stage for the annual Pepsi halftime show at Super Bowl LVI.
Snoop Dogg MNF Takeover: NFL Commissioner Slinks Outta Naming Favorite Song
During his appearance on Eli and Peyton Manning’s Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN, Snoop Dogg revealed he is excited to touch the stage during the Super Bowl halftime show.
“We so thankful that the NFL is accepting Hip Hop on stage and letting us do what we do,” Snoop said. “We plan on putting together a great show to give the people something that they been waiting on.
Snoop also made the bold claim that the performance will be a historic moment for the culture of Hip Hop.
“You know, they love to watch a Super Bowl game but at the same time at halftime, we be loving to see who’s going to perform,” he said. “So we’re going to give you the greatest performance you’ve ever seen Hip Hop history.”
Super Bowl LVI isn’t the only blockbuster event to have its course rerouted over the raging COVID-19 pandemic. Both the 2022 Grammy Awards and Sundance Film Festival had to alter its prestigious scheduling in light of the Omnicron surge.
This misleading “in jeopardy” headline is beneath the quality and dignity we have come to expect from HipHopDX.
Every year during the Superbowl I party it up with my boi boiz. My gosh I hope that Dre can perform so me and my silly boi boiz can get real dirt dirty. Lick lick!
I dont watch super bowl half time. Dont care for the fakeness of it all. But I definitely want to here Dr. Dre’s played out songs from 20 years ago. He a one hit wonder with the chronic. Never had a hit since.
You don’t know shit about hip hop son.
Listen here boy, Dr Dre is a living legend, above all else he is a producer, I’d go so far to say that the Chronic isn’t even his best accomplishment, (see 2001) but I digress, he has graced everything from the Rolling Stones to Tim Magraw with his Midas Touch. You need to re-evaluate your life. I hope they play Nothin’ but a G Thang and I hope they play it 10 times just for you. There would be no music without Dr Dre in the conversation.
MrMario1000 u dont know what ur talking bout. You made urself sound like a goofy a$$ fool. If ur gonna talk hip hop do ur homework & actually KNOW hip hop to speak on it. Ignorant foolio
I absolutely loved the Halftime Show! It brought me back to when I was 18 yrs old pushing 40 now but definitely needed this!! I ain’t Gon lie I cried it was that special to me! Thank you Dre,Em,Snoop, 50, Mary, Kendrick. Don’t listen to the negativity
