    After Beyonce's power performance at halftime of Super Bowl XLVII, it's unclear if anybody will or can perform during next year's Super Bowl in New York/New Jersey because it probably will be so freakin' cold.

    According to the New York Post, “there is no planâ€￾ for a musical halftime show because “NFL officials can't figure out how to stage the festivities in the frigid climate.â€￾

    The NFL, though, was quick to respond Tuesday morning.

    NFL P.R. Man Brian McCarthy tweeted: "re: erroneous reports #SB48 halftime show next year. Chill out. pregame & halftime shows in-stadium."

    But it's also not a stretch to wonder if the NY Post's sources have a point. It will be cold, and that will make it difficult for a musical number to perform.

    “It's not only the acts and the singers but [also] the crews that have to put the stage together,â€￾ the source told the Post. “You know, the assembly has to be done a certain way. It's choreographed and rehearsed so it can be assembled and disassembled as fast as possible. And you just can't assemble the stage and break it down fast enough in the cold.â€￾

    so...humans can sit in the cold for 5 hours,players can play in it but no one can perform a 40 minute show and run back in the tunnel/stadium ?
