so are you saying all those people are not some random spectators of the show but super bowl crew? Or random spectators who guarantee that they wont move from their predefined position?

The audience was doing choreographed moves during certain songs, so it was not random at all.

I don't think they were professional dancers, but I also don't think they were random people. Screened and rehearsed locals seems the most likely.

Not super hard to believe that the NFL was able to recruit Houston natives to do this for free in exchange for a close up concert with Lady Gaga and being on national TV.

The people holding them had some synched up dance moves, so they definitely had practice
