Remember When NKOTB Performed during the Super Bowl Halftime Show?

We've had 53 Super Bowls, but it wasn't until 1991 that we began a modern era of Halftime Show performances. Productions that were created to entertain the millions watching at home more than those inside the stadium.

As I was looking back into the history of the halftime spectacles, I discovered a boyband began the modern era. During the 25th Super Bowl, New Kids on the Block performed in a Disney themed  show.
