PWS supports Snoop Dogg for NFL Christmas Day broadcast

Professional Wireless Systems (PWS) supplied comprehensive wireless and RF support for “Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party”, headlined by Snoop Dogg during the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings game on December 25, 2025. The halftime show, which also featured Lainey Wilson and K-Pop Demon Hunters, as well as Andrea and Matteo Bocelli, was streamed live globally on Netflix from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

PWS worked in collaboration with ATK/Clair, the event’s audio provider, delivering a fully integrated wireless package and on-site RF coordination to ensure seamless audio performance for the NFL halftime production. The equipment deployment included Shure Axient Digital wireless systems using Quadversity mode, Shure in-ear monitors, Wisycom RF-over-Fiber (RFoF) and a combination of PWS-supplied TS Helical antennas, directional antennas and a newly developed LT Helical antenna, which was evaluated during the event in preparation for implementation at the upcoming Super Bowl in Santa Clara.

“Our role was to make sure the wireless environment was rock solid from rehearsals through the live broadcast”, says Jim Van Winkle, General Manager at Professional Wireless Systems. “With a global audience watching on Netflix and the stakes that come with an NFL Christmas Day game, reliability and RF discipline were absolutely critical.”

PWS supported the production with four RF technicians on site, including Jim Van Winkle, with Cameron Stuckey serving in a lead RF role, alongside senior RF technicians Kasey Gchachu and Kevin Lu. Most of the team has previously supported multiple Super Bowl halftime shows.

“Compared to some of the more complex halftime productions we’ve done, this was a straightforward setup”, adds Van Winkle. “The entertainment was positioned in the middle of the field, so there were no unusual coverage zones. We designed and deployed a clean four-corner RF setup that gave us consistent, predictable performance across the field.”

As part of the deployment, PWS utilized it’s new LT Helical antenna.  Positioned on an upper concourse level within U.S. Bank Stadium, the LT Helical provided extended reach and additional spatial coverage alongside the field-level antennas.
