    UPI: NFL to re-air Super Bowl Sept. 11 tribute

    NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6 (UPI) — The NFL Network will mark the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks by re-airing the Super Bowl XXXVI half-time show featuring Irish rockers U2.

    U2 performing "Beautiful Day," "MLK" and "The Streets Have No Name" with the names of the victims scrolling on a floor-to-ceiling banner will be televised during "NFL Total Access," the network said in a news release Wednesday.

    "This is one of the most memorable and meaningful half-time performances in the history of Super Bowl," the network’s Charles Coplin said. "As we look back on the five years since 9/11 we felt our fans would enjoy this uplifting show."

    The Feb. 3, 2002 championship game at New Orleans’ Louisiana Superdome saw the New England Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams 20-17. It was originally broadcast on Fox TV.
