Older Stones fans welcome at Super Bowl

Remember how the NFL put an age limit
on the "crowd" members who would rock out to the Rolling Stones during the Super Bowl haltime show? Yeah,
that's been lifted. The original casting call was for groups of people between the ages of 18 and 45 to play the role
of the crowd on the football field as the Stones perform. Organizers of the performance said they called for younger
dancers because the role was physically demanding. People had to run on and off the field real quick. And they had to
act like they're crazy for the Stones. Not surprisingly, the NFL heard from a lot of die-hard fans over the age of 45
who can totally rock out to the Stones like the younger crowd. So, they lifted the age limit. Or, maybe it was all the
press they were getting over the casting call. Anyway, now you only have to be 18 years old or older to rock out to the
Rolling Stones during the halftime show at the Super Bowl in February 5 in Detroit. All you old folks can sign up
here.

Your comments: I think the age limit should be raised. The Rolling Stones have
been
famous for many years, and generally have an older fan base. The
can't restrict it to those 45 and under, there are plenty of people
above that age limit that would love to rock out. And since there is
so much partying that goes on at the Super Bowl and all the post game
parties, I came across this site that i agree with :
www.savedaday.com they have a petition up to make the Monday after
the Super Bowl a national holiday! You should definitly sign up, I
did... it is just too hard to go to work the next day...
