I love your story!! ❤️

The super bowl production team had a open casting call to work 2 weeks on set.

I've been a very big fan since Coldplay first came out and finally got to see them live in 2009 in Sacramento. Recently I had the opportunity to help with the stage set up and break down for the Super Bowl and only applied because Coldplay was going to be there. It was amazing to see all the magic that goes on in a production that huge! We were able to see the actual show many times before the BIG show but had to be very professional. I couldn't ask Chris for an autograph while he ran around the field or scream to the top of my lungs everytime the band played during rehearsals But after practice one day a friend and I did catch Will and Jonny leaving the stadium and I asked for a pic. They spoke with us for a very long time and thanked us for the help with stage set up. I told Jonny that my sisters and I would be going to see them in Barcelona and asked him to look for the monkeys in the very back. Not that he would ever remember... But he said "Sure!" So our Barcelona trip arrived and the monkeys went into play during AOAL! I missed the whole song cause I couldn't see with my glasses fogging up under the mask! My sister and I danced away... She went into full monkey mode with the moves!! Haha! I have never been to a concert outside of the states and was very impressed at how "cool" the crowd was. There were no seating assignments on the "pista" and I wondered why the US shows weren't open, without assigned seats on the floor.. The show of course was incredible!! The sound, the xylobands, the venue!! It was the best to see everyone connecting at that moment.. with the greatest band to take us away for just a short time... Any way-- before the show we were also very interested in the port o potty's for the guys and wondered why they don't have these in the states as well!! I'm gonna follow the band around a while-- Will be at the LA show and then close it off back at Levi's Stadium where they did the Super Bowl.. These pins would really look great on my Coldplay/ SB 50 windbreaker! ❤️
