NFL Opens Stones Halftime Show To Fans Over 45

POSTED: 10:16 am EST January 9, 2006
UPDATED: 10:28 am EST January 9, 2006

DETROIT -- The NFL is letting people over 45 years old decide for themselves whether they're up for the physical challenges of a Rolling Stones halftime show.

The NFL originally had asked for people ages 18 to 45 to be part of the Super Bowl halftime show featuring the Rolling Stones in Detroit on Feb. 5.

The league did not want anyone older than 45 because volunteers will be on their feet a long time.

The Rolling Stones themselves are in their 50s and 60s.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said they wanted to open up the call for volunteers after hearing from some older Stones fans.

"You can bet I will be having sex with the wife during halftime..."

Who's wife? Will you be serving those Vienna Snausages?

Didn't we try that in the singular with Janet Jackson?

This may be the "jump the shark" moment for the Baby Boom.

LOL..Me too...

No doubt about it they are one awesome Rock and Roll Band.
I doubt Green Day or any of this so called Rock and Roll in todays music will last beyond the next one hit wonders.

I see that you've bought into the sickness that only young and pretty people should be seen. Sad.

Ick. Easily the WORST idea in broadcast teevee history - get a bunch of untelegenic old people, who still believe that they are hip, and put them on national tv.

It's unclear if you're talking about the Rolling Stones or their fans.

He's talking of the fans.

Kind of a goofy response from him IMHO

Now if they sing their b-side "Jump On Top Of Me Baby" it'll be worth it!! But I doubt they will......it's never been sung live (no pun intented!).
