Sometimes the logistics get complicated by concerns about protecting the turf. On other occasions, some aspect of the show leaks online, as happened last year ahead of Kendrick Lamar’s performance. In the lead up to Bad Bunny’s performance at Super Bowl LX, would anxiety about the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at the Big Game be the King of Latin Trap’s biggest hurdle?It wasn’t. It was trying to fulfill Bad Bunny’s wish to transform the field at Levi’s Stadium into his home of Puerto Rico. That one was Bruce and Shelley Rodgers’ problem to solve. Their company, Tribe Inc., has been producing the show for nearly two decades and the pair have become de facto experts in how to pull off increasingly elaborate stage productions during the allotted 26 or so minutes of halftime. For Sunday’s show, situated in the middle of the Seattle Seahawks’ faceoff against the New England Patriots, the issue was horticultural. Bad Bunny wanted his show to have the same look and feel as his recent world tour, which covered stages in palm trees and sugar cane to recreate the environs of Vega Baja, where he grew up. In a different stadium, that could be done by rolling carts covered in those plants onto the field. But San Francisco’s Levi’s Stadium uses real grass; the National Football League’s guidelines don’t allow that many carts onto the field, as they’d tear up the turf. The max they could use was 25, and they needed those for the stages and other props. Bruce Rodgers’ fix was simple: dress people up like plants.
