Super Bowl halftime show height requirement disappoints some fans 13.01.2026

USA Today

A recent height requirement for volunteers participating in the Super Bowl LX halftime show has sparked significant backlash from fans of headliner Bad Bunny. Screenshots circulating on social media, particularly TikTok, reveal that applicants must be between 5'7" and 6'0" to be considered for the paid, temporary on-field positions responsible for stage assembly and disassembly. Backlit Support, the company managing applications for Super Bowl Productions, confirmed on January 12 that these height requirements are crucial and will be verified during rehearsals. This stipulation has led to widespread disappointment among fans, with many expressing their frustration online about being excluded due to their stature, while others noted Bad Bunny's previous appearance as a surprise guest at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show in 2020.
