In place of an on-pitch performance, FIFA and Global Citizen built out a massive stage on the upper stands of the venue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tGlobal Citizen brought in 40,000 pounds of staging, scenery, and structural truss, all carried by hand by 100 stagehands to the stands and brought to the venue by six semi-trucks. The stage features 4,000 feet of pipe bracing, LED displays with nearly 16 million pixels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:1024px\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  lrv-u-border-a-2\">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((683\/1024)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-align-items-center\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-a-font-body-xs lrv-u-margin-t-050 lrv-u-text-align-center\">Global Citizen<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cThe innovative stage design we created for MetLife Stadium both preserves the integrity of the pitch and promises to deliver the kind of performances our global audience will never forget,\u201d Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen, tells <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cBy building our platform high in the stands, we ensured that the newly installed natural grass remains untouched while delivering an unforgettable show that is designed to be time-efficient and visually stunning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWith the halftime show and its partnership with FIFA, Global Citizen aims to raise $100 million for global education access. \u201cThis show will bring us closer to ensuring that children everywhere have access to quality education,\u201d says Evans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe show away from the pitch allows the performance to run for the full 15-minute event and eliminates the need for setup between halves.
