Nope. What is with all the petitions the past few years?

I just can't see them agreeing to everything that comes with doing the show. It's just not them. I wouldn't be surprised if they've been asked and they said no. But, if they did do the show, I'd happily watch it.

I walk my dog at halftime and he would be really disappointed if we skipped that for Pearl Jam.

Just walk him during the first half. What are you really going to miss? Some plays that will be re-shown numerous times, and some commercials that you can watch on YouTube before the game actually starts.

Please never play a SB. Ever.

why do people feel like  this is some pinnacle moment?! 

Playing your music to 100M ppl on one night is a dream - I am sure When Ed was young he dreamt of playing his music for as many ppl as possible.

thats what the super Bowl is about, and it can be done with dignity for the live moment as Prince did:

Musicians dream of playing special places like Carnegie Hall or Madison Square Garden.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is a joke.

Ah. Makes sense!

a musician wants as many people as possible to hear his/her music - why gig can you get a world wide audience of 100,000,000? 

That’s a chance to have people listen to you across genres, which can lead to more sales of your albums etc.

in fact I am pretty sure any non-famous musician would play the SuperBowl without a second thought if offered the gig, why wouldn’t PJ accept? 

They worked with another Sports League (MLB) to release an exclusive concert so why not play to 100m people and possible obtain new fans?

The Super Bowl game may be 100,000,000 people, but the halftime show is 80,000,000 people flushing the toilet at the same time, then getting something to eat while the dipshits who didn't know any better play music while we are on the shitter.

Yes non-famous musicians might love to play it for the exposure, but Pearl Jam are one of the most successful rock bands still around.
They can do whatever they want.  If they want to sell out baseball stadiums, they play baseball stadiums.  If they wanted to do a small theatre tour or play smaller venues like Red Rocks, they'd do it.

They don't need the exposure to 100 million people, and some fans would find it kind of lame.

What else do you want them to do?  Do you want to see them play the Grammys now that they have a new album?
I'm sure they'll do a few late night shows which is cool and normal, but the Super Bowl is a ridiculous production with medleys and costume changes.  It's meant for the Britney Spears pop stars, not incredibly talented rock and roll musicians (with all due respect to Prince and the handful of others that had watchable performances).

This is a good point, to which I will add, do you know what helps gain even MORE exposure? Controversy. Imagine it - they're up there playing Even Flow, or Alive, or whatever, the song transitions, Left Shark comes out, banging on a cowbell. Eddie grabs the mic, screams, "And now you want me to breeeeath!" He rips open his button down shirt right in front of the camera, revealing an "I'm with Kap" shirt.

Please Pearl Jam do not play the Superbowl. 

But if you do, please play Given to Fly

Most people that are watching don’t know the band still exists at this point and are pretty clueless about their music. 

That said, they want a show, shakira and jlo will put in a show even if you don’t care about the music.
