DETROIT (AP) -- Older fans of the Rolling Stones will get the chance to shake it during the band's Super Bowl halftime show after all. Planners had originally sought people aged 18 to 45 to take the field and dance at Ford Field on Feb. 5. But after hearing from some older fans...the National Football League said it would accept dancers 18 and older -- no age limit.

"We wanted to open it up," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Friday. The league had said the reason for the age cutoff was that the job is physically challenging. The volunteers would be on their feet for long periods, and would need to enter and exit the field quickly.
