2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Schedule
Bands in Super Bowl Village
*** Press Release ***
Indianapolis – The 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee announced dates and times for the musical performances in the
Super Bowl Village starting Friday, Jan. 27.
Two stages - the
Pepsi Stage at Meridian and Georgia Streets and the
Verizon Stage at Pennsylvania and Georgia Streets – will host bands daily through Super Bowl Sunday for the public to enjoy for free.
“The Super Bowl Village will provide an outdoor fan festival gathering spot for visitors and residents alike to enjoy,” said Allison Melangton, president and chief executive officer of the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee. “Whether you’re a fan of country, hip-hop or rock, you’ll find music on both stages to enjoy.”
Emmy-award winning Zuri Hall will serve as the on-stage emcee in the Super Bowl Village as well as host for
“Village TV.” Comedian and Super Bowl ambassador Mike Epps will also make special appearances throughout the week.
“Fire and Ice” Lounges will provide food and beverage sales in several locations through the Super Bowl Village.
Super Dash, two human-powered wheels, one dedicated to each fan base of the competing Super Bowl teams, operate similar to a hamster wheel. Each day, the top 100-yard dash scores will be announced. On February 5, the division that generated the most energy will be crowned champion.
Kinect NFL PLAY 60 FanDome provides an immersive 360 degree inflated dome with full-body gaming on Kinect for Xbox 360. Kinect responds to body movement with controller-free gaming. The interactive Kinect gaming is exciting and new for seasoned gamers and rookies alike.
Papa John’s will provide a mobile kitchen near the Verizon Stage on Pennsylvania Street with pizza for purchase.
