Nothing against NB (I actually must be one of the few that like their first two cds) but I understand the complaint. Being from Seattle I would be upset if some Seattle band was passed over for another band the fans deemed unworthy. But hey, at least it isn't some American Idol singing to a backing track. I thought it was cool when the Tigers had some local talent doing the Star Spangled Banner in the MLB play-offs.

What's wrong with Nickelback? I don't get what the problem is. It's not the Super Bowl that they're playing at, right?

wasnt there a thread like this last year? they got booed off stage IIRC.
the band is more famous for being hated than admired.

Maybe you guys could send Bob Seger up to sing O'Canada when the Redwings play the Canucks.

Bob Seger used to play a concert hall a half mile down the road from where I grew up regularly. No Mark Farner?

Just signed the petition. As a life-long Lions fan (yes, even when they were 0-16) I proudly support this cause to get someone else on the bill.

You guys should have heard the sports talk radio station here in Detroit. Nobody wants Nickelback here. With all the great music here in Detroit this is the best they could come up with. Weren't The Romantics available?

I think the problem with Nickelback is that they exist. Otherwise I have no issue with them.

As a Packers fan, who will be watching this game with great interest, I heartily applaud the Lions fans. I have gained a new respect for them.

Where's the article that says "Nickelback furious over being sent to play halftime show in Detroit!"?

Being a life long Dawg fan I enjoy watching Stafford play in the pros. Seeing Tebow humiliated: Priceless.

Yeah, I can see how they should have gotten a local artist to play for one of their big games. I guess whomever plans the half-time shows wasn't expecting a winning season.
