Everything that could be said about the choice of Coldplay to headline the halftime show at Super Bowl 50 was said by the band itself Sunday evening — not with their mouths, but with their outfits.
All around the stage at the center of the Levi’s Stadium field, there were bold colors: in the crowd, fans held up blue, orange, red and yellow cards that formed a sunburst. Violinists and cellists from Youth Orchestra L.A. were dressed in matching baby blue and red Windbreakers, clutching instruments painted green and blue and purple and bright white.
