Super Bowl halftime show is one of the grandest concert witnessed by the USA every year. With the biggest names in the music industry coming up on stage to entertain millions of viewers, their mode of payment is a fun-fact.

Interestingly, NFL doesn’t pay the Super Bowl halftime performer a single penny. The Weeknd will perform at Super Bowl 55 in Tampa “for free.” But it’s about way more than the initial pocket payment for The Weeknd and every other performer who takes the Super Bowl halftime stage.

According to Sporting News, more than 100 million people tune in to the Super Bowl via traditional television and streaming services combined. That’s a bigger set of eyeballs than a musician will get in any other concert. Despite just 13 minutes on stage, it’s enough time to provide a huge rocket boost for a career.

Musical artists that perform at Super Bowl halftime all, without fail, see an almost immediate boost in sales. In 2017, Lady Gaga’s sales and streaming numbers the day after her performance rose by more than 1,000 percent. It was a 534 percent rise for Justin Timberlake in 2018 and a 434 percent uptick for Maroon 5 in 2019.

While individual artists could make different amounts of money based on their own streaming value and album pricing, it’s safe to say it’s a huge single-day boon for an artist like The Weeknd.

Super Bowl halftime performers often permanently raise their notoriety for years to come. The next album release will certainly be bigger than if The Weeknd had never performed at the Super Bowl. Other big events will want him, too.

Superbowl 2021: Here's how much celebrities performing during halftime get paid

At the stadium and behind the scenes, security officials in Tampa are bracing for a daunting range of potential threats to the Super Bowl this year, from COVID-19 and domestic terror attacks to unruly crowds cheering on their home team.

The National Football League championship, which requires security coordination from some 70 local, state and federal agencies, will be played under unprecedented threat conditions with a national domestic terrorism advisory in place following the U.S. Capitol siege on Jan. 6 and the COVID-19 pandemic raging. It will also be the first Super Bowl matchup featuring a team - the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - on its home turf.

Officials have been planning the event’s security for a year, according to FBI Special-Agent-in-Charge Michael McPherson, but recent political and public health crises and the cancellation of Super Bowl week events have caused the massive operation to adapt to a shifting threat picture.

Super Bowl LV is classified as a SEAR-1 event by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), meaning it receives the highest level of federal resources, including explosive detection canine teams, cyber risk assessments and air security.

The FBI Tampa field office, led by McPherson, will be hosting more than a dozen agencies at an intelligence operation center where agents will collect, analyze and disseminate intelligence related to the Super Bowl and communicate with other units around the country.

Fresh on their minds is an advisory issued by the DHS last week, which warned of the persistent threat of domestic terror attacks in the U.S. by “violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition.”

Like all FBI offices, McPherson’s Tampa office has been charged with chasing leads on subjects who may have been involved in the Jan. 6 attack. The agency may increase its surveillance of any local subjects leading up to the game, even if they do not pose an apparent threat to the Super Bowl, McPherson said.

“We saw what happened in DC and if someone might want to make a political statement... it’s something we would be thinking about,” he said.

Hundreds of law enforcement officials, on horseback, in golf carts, and with canine units, will be posted on the grounds of the Raymond James stadium and the Tampa Riverwalk, where the game and other lead-up events will take place this week, said Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan.

Those officers and their partners behind the scenes will be prepared for potentially violent political demonstrations in the wake of the DHS’ warning.

“We are planning for any type of demonstration, doesn’t matter what their message is,” Dugan said.

<h2>HOME TURF</h2>

Due to COVID-19, many events leading up to the game have been pared down or made virtual and the stadium will only hold 22,000 attendees, a third of its capacity.

These measures have eased the burden slightly on law enforcement officers, who now have fewer physical venues to secure.

But with fewer planned events, and the enthusiasm of a hometown crowd, officials are expecting they will need to monitor spontaneous, local gatherings that could draw energized masses - especially if the Bucs are victorious.

“When we realized the Buccaneers were going to be in it, we started thinking about how else do we have to adjust our footprint,” McPherson said.

In Dugan’s view, the most prominent security concern “is crowd control”.

With thousands of security officials, athletes and fans congregating comes another underlying, but hardly overlooked threat: the contagious virus that has so far killed more than 430,000 Americans.

“One of my greater concerns about this is making sure we have healthy people to execute the plan,” McPherson said, adding that he was urging his officers to follow health protocols so the virus cannot “hinder operations”.

While the mayor of Tampa has mandated mask-wearing around the stadium during Super Bowl week, Chief Dugan, who recovered from his own bout of COVID-19 last week, said he did not anticipate his officers would enforce COVID-19 measures besides reminding people to social distance.

“We really don’t want to get into being the mask police,” he said. “We’re just going to rely on people being responsible citizens.”

Super Bowl security officers prep for triple threat of pandemic, politics and hometown crowds

The Bucs survived a second-half resurgence from the Green Bay Packers on Sunday to win the NFC Championship and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl, where they will be the first team to contend for the Lombardi Trophy in their home stadium.

“We’re coming home and we’re coming home to win!” Tampa Bay head coach Bruce Arians announced on-air after the Bucs outlasted the Packers 31-26.

Super Bowl host cities are typically selected years in advance, with team owners voting for their favored bids, and Tampa was named Super Bowl 55’s host in 2017.

The closest an NFL team has come to playing the Super Bowl on their own turf before was 36 years ago, when the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins 38-16 at Super Bowl XIX inside Stanford University’s Stanford Stadium in California.

With only 22,000 fans allowed inside the 65,618-capacity Raymond James Stadium and the usual bustling Super Bowl party scene largely canceled due to COVID-19, the celebration in Tampa will be comparatively tame.

But city officials and a grateful Bucs fan base on Sunday were already cheering for the possibility of Brady claiming his seventh Super Bowl ring in his new adopted hometown.

“FIRE THE CANNONS! Our @Buccaneers are coming HOME to play in Super Bowl LV!!!” the City of Tampa tweeted after Brady clinched a spot in his 10th Super Bowl, in his first year on the team after a two-decade-long tenure with the New England Patriots.

“What a year for Tampa sports,” wrote Tampa Bay Lightning Captain Steven Stamkos, who brought home the Stanley Cup in September. “@TomBrady is the GOAT for a reason. A Super Bowl championship in Tampa would be a great birthday present for me this year.”
