Evidently both halftime shows were disigned by the same guy. In the first game they used about twenty color blast and a row of LED strips, plus the movers. In the second game they used color blast around the whole set and a row of LED srips, no movers.
In the first game it was a Motown tribute and the color blasts didn't show up at all. In the second game it as Daughtry and it just put ugly up color on their faces.
"Any ideas on how they did that/what type of hoist they used"
If you look in the background when they are rising, it looks like there is a crew member pulling a line down. I am assuming that they just rigged a few pulleys in the roof and dropped lines as they were setting up the stage. Could be completely wrong though...
EDIT: Watched it again, and it's definitely manual. At 4:21, you can see a close-up of one crew member pulling on the line. At 4:24, you can see several spread around the pots... pulling quite hard, it looked like.
