45. Yes! I wish they would theme the halftime show to the area.

A zydeco show in New Orleans would have been amazing. (They only did a little before the game). Detroit should have had Motown. Almost every area in the country has music associated with it.

It might also get rid of the arguments. I have nothing against Bad Bunny, he seems great, but we are currently just showcasing acts Jay-Z has signed, which limits variety and eliminates local flavor.
