NFL Offering Fans A Unique Light Show Experience
Moving forward to the halftime show, the Kansas City Symphony will offer fans in attendance a special performance. The show will also include KC Wolf, Chiefs Cheerleaders, Chiefs Rumble, and the Chiefs Flag Runners. Making the halftime show a full Chiefs extravaganza, organizers wanted to make sure not to forget about the fans. And apparently, they came up with an interesting way to include them.
Wanting to help hype the Chiefs as they run onto the field, fans can take part in a special lighting ceremony. Only needing a phone, fans can use their devices for a unique light show. For those wanting to take part in the celebration, they must have access to the Chiefs app.
Once the app is downloaded, fans only need to hit the “join light show” button that will appear. For those who might miss the first show during the introductions, a second show will take place at the end of the third quarter.
Between the national anthem performances, the fan-driven light show, and a full Chiefs-themed halftime celebration, the NFL is once again spreading a little Christmas spirit. Don’t miss the Chiefs taking on the Broncos, airing live at 8:15 p.m. ET/PT on Netflix.
