Stage Crew Volunteers Needed for Super Bowl XLII Pregame and Halftime Shows February 3, 2008

NEW YORK, Jan. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Producers of the SUPER BOWL XLII PREGAME SHOW and the BRIDGESTONE SUPER BOWL XLII HALFTIME SHOW are offering area residents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in Super Bowl XLII which will be played at University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona on Sunday, February 3.

Six hundred local men and women are needed to be part of the crew that will help run the stages onto the field and perform other duties during the halftime show featuring TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS, the pregame show and the performance of the national anthem.

No prior experience is required, but volunteers must attend rehearsals and be over the age of 18. Interested volunteers may log on to http://www.superbowlproductions.com to learn more about this opportunity, register and view the rehearsal schedule.

Volunteers will get a behind-the-scenes look at the shows which will be televised live on FOX. Watched by nearly 140 million viewers in the U.S. last year, the Super Bowl is annually the nation's highest-rated TV program. The game will be broadcast worldwide in more than 230 countries and territories.

Volunteers will not receive tickets to the game, but will be an integral part of the shows. They also will remain in a database for the opportunity to volunteer for future NFL events across the country.
