Now what about the 45 year old woman who doesn't like football at all but she watches the Super Bowl halftime show so she can talk about it with the friends at work? What is the more realistic scenario in your mind: Non football fan watching the Super Bowl to see Beyonce? Or person who has never heard of Beyonce before buying a ticket to her concert?
NFL wants SB Halftime act to pay them to play

#1 reason Non football fans watch the superbowl is because of the COMMERCIALS so NEXT....

BTW, there's no question that these artists get introduced to new potential fans. Even people who have heard of Beyoncé may not have actually ever really heard Beyoncé (for instance I have heard of Tom Petty, yet I can't name a single Petty song)
However, there's also no question the NFL gets viewers they wouldn't necessarily get if they didn't have a marquee halftime show.
It's a mutually beneficial situation.

Not really. The superbowl isn't that big outside of North America and alot of broads and casuals only tune in for the halftime act and the commercials
You think the NFL cares? the Real stars of Superbowl Sunday are Tackling each other in the field of play, Im sure theres a Bunch of acts willing to pay to Perform.
NEWSFLASH: The artists need the NFL more than the NFL needs the artists. This is one of the biggest single Events in the World, I'm sure they can still do Numbers if no-one performed.
And the number 2 reason is the Halftime Show you retard so the point remains. And you can bet the NFL charges the advertisers MORE based on the fact that they usually have a big star on during Halftime. So the NFL is already making money off the deal...
Perhaps that's what they believe, but if that's the case why don't they just do away with it? I'd like to see an experiment play out one year by having no halftime show. Considering that a lot of non-football fans do watch some of the game so as not to miss the halftime show I'm guessing that they add to the overall ratings as well.
But it's possible that the NFL has done their market research and are convinced that this is a win-win no matter what, but I'm still interested to see it play out.
Well see who has more Pull, Im sure the league can do just as good without a Halftime show since they OWN that Sunday.

NFL is G
Out of the one Billion plus people who watched the super bowl last year 900 Million were outside of the US.
Got to get me a link on this one. I've heard numerous stories of Americans overseas trying to watch the superbowl in a foreign country. First of all it's 1,2,3,4 in the morning or the next day-monday. Then you might have to find a bar or viewing party with fellow Americans. Most I hear have to watch the game on the Internet
