Pyrotecnico, the country’s largest provider of professional fireworks displays and a leading provider of drone light shows and special effects, supported Super Bowl LX with the design and execution of pyrotechnics and special effects for multiple live broadcast moments throughout the event.

Super Bowl LX marked the sixth consecutive year Pyrotecnico was engaged to provide pyrotechnics at the championship game, in support of programming that included Green Day’s opening ceremony performance, the National Anthem, player entrances, Bad Bunny’s Apple Music Halftime Show, and the championship trophy celebration. 

The halftime show represented the most extensive pyrotechnic scope Pyrotecnico has executed during its six years supporting the Super Bowl, and one of the largest halftime displays in recent event history. The production utilized approximately 9,800 pyrotechnic effects, including colored smoke and fireworks, culminating in a large-scale finale designed to visually reinforce the energy of the performance.

Technical scope of work included:

•  A crew of 50+ in-house experts, including designers, project managers, safety leads, and technicians from across the country
•  Pyrotechnics positioned at 384 positions throughout the stadium and field
•  Equipment and pyrotechnics transported by two semi trucks and one box truck
•  9,800 theatrical pyrotechnics such as colored smoke and pyrotechnics
•  Pyro digital control utilized for the half time event

All effects were executed in accordance with league, venue, and broadcast requirements, with extensive testing and rehearsal to ensure consistency and reliability during live moments.

Bob Ross, Chief Operating Officer at Pyrotecnico and the effects consultant on the production, noted that the intent of the pyrotechnic design was to support the artist’s vision for the performance.

“Even by Super Bowl standards, the scale of this year’s halftime effects was significant,” said Ross. “The goal was to take the energy already happening on the field and carry it through the final moments. In the finale, elements like the illuminated Puerto Rican flags were timed with the music and performers to help make the closing moments extremely dynamic.”

Pyrotecnico supports live productions of all sizes, delivering fireworks, drone light shows, and special effects combining detailed planning, experienced personnel, and proven systems to meet the unique demands of each event.
