A football game breaks out at orchestra concert

That was apparently quite the stunning halftime show at the new Vikings stadium last evening when the Minnesota Orchestra played as the entertainment.

We’ll just go ahead and guess that this is the first symphonic halftime act.

Sadly, NBC, which broadcast the game nationally, didn’t show halftime; they had commercials to sell.

But KFAN has posted it on YouTube. Not the greatest audio quality, but you’ll get the idea.

Max Nesterak has the behind-the-scenes look at how the Orchestra was able to pull it off. One secret: As is usual in halftime shows, the crowd was hearing pre-recorded music.
