KIRO Radio and 710 ESPN Seattle
Watch:

National Anthem:
Idina Menzel, also known as the artist responsible for the “Let It Go” song made popular by millions of young girls, will perform the National Anthem ahead of the game. John Legend will sing “America The Beautiful.”
Halftime show:
Pop-star Katy Perry says she plans to bring along some surprise guests. Spoiler alert: One of them is Lenny Kravitz. According to NFL.com, the Super Bowl Halftime Show is the most-watched musical event of the year. More than 115 million people tuned in to see Bruno Mars perform last year.
Tickets:
At last check, there were 1,545 ticket listings offered from $2,462 to $14,479 each on Ticketmaster.com.
Getting there:
If the second time around seems more appealing, you have a few options. Driving to Glendale from Seattle will take you 21 hours and 22 minutes, according to Google Maps. A round-trip ticket to Phoenix will cost you at least $500 if you fly in Saturday and depart Monday. Flying to Las Vegas and back could be $100 cheaper, but then you have to drive 4 hours and 21 minutes. You could always fly into LAX (round-trip) for about $225 and drive 5 hours and 22 minutes to Glendale.
Where to stay:
If you plan to stay in Phoenix, expect to pay a pretty penny even at Best Western. The NFL put together an NFL Fan Housing tool for quick searches.
