An unconventional NFL season has given way to an unconventional Super Bowl, during which an unconventional halftime show will be held.
To start, Sunday's halftime show headlined by The Weeknd at Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, won't be held on the field. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the production is streamlining the halftime show by holding the performance in the stands to minimize the amount of time and bodies needed to set up the stage.
Approximately 22,000 fans are expected to be attendance.
"We all grow up watching the world's biggest acts playing the Super Bowl, and one can only dream of being in that position," The Weekndsaid in a statement.
