Super Bowl rehearsal at NRG Stadium
SkyEye flew over NRG Stadium during what appeared to have been a rehearsal for a Super Bowl Sunday performance.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- SkyEye got a sneak peak of Super Bowl rehearsals while the roof was briefly open at NRG Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

Could one of those tiny dots on the ground have been Lady Gaga in the flesh?

It's not clear exactly what was being rehearsed -- the event could have been Gaga's halftime show, the pre-game singing of the National Anthem or any number of related performances, but the sneak peak was exciting nonetheless.

A large black stage had been constructed at the 50-yard line, and several large production and lighting rigs could be seen surrounding the performance area.

The stage appears to have color-changing lights built in. At the time SkyEye was over the stadium, the stage was lit blue, seemingly synchronized with the surrounding mounted lighting.

Lady Gaga hasn't officially released any details about her upcoming performance, but there have been rumblings that she may be trying to perform from the roof of NRG Stadium.
