00:00Metallica's Super Bowl dreams when betting odds meet metal reality.

00:05Bay Area metal legends face long odds, but passionate fan campaigns for halftime show representation at the hometown Super Bowl.

00:14Betting odds place Metallica at 10 to 1 for Super Bowl 60.

00:18Passionate metal fans, however, are driving a cultural conversation about representation, yearning for their genre's mainstream moment.
