"As the Chronicle reports, the average height of Hispanic American women in the US is a little under 5 feet 2 inches, which left scores of Bad Bunny's Latina devotees a large portion of his fan base out of luck if they wanted a chance at being part of his halftime show as performers or stage set-up staff, which required surprising height minimums."
"As KRON4 reports, applicants interested in performing as Field Cast members alongside the star, who's 5 feet 11 inches, were required to be between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 1 inch tall to be considered for the position, per the job listing. This was reportedly an updated version of the job description, which initially specified 5 feet 7 inches as the minimum requirement."
"The job description stated that Field Cast members will be performing structured movements and blocking as part of the larger production while wearing costumes weighing up to 40 pounds, which will fully cover the body and head for extended periods of time. Prior marching band, color guard, or drill team experience were listed as being a preference, as well as experience performing precise movements in sync with a group."
Bad Bunny posted two job listings for roles supporting the Super Bowl halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on February 8. The listings included high minimum heights that excluded many Latina fans, given the average height of Hispanic American women is a little under 5 feet 2 inches. Field Cast applicants were required to be between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet 1 inch after an initial 5 feet 7 inches minimum. Roles involve structured, synchronized movements, blocking, and wearing costumes up to 40 pounds that fully cover body and head; marching band or drill-team experience was preferred. Applications have closed and disappointed fans reacted strongly.
