Did You Know...

The New York Giants finished the 2008-09 season at the top of the NFC East, but their early exit from the playoffs was a disappointment for a team that won the Super Bowl the season before. Though the offense was weakened with the loss of wide receivers Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer, it still boasts Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw, plus Eli Manning, who’s proven himself capable of leading the team to the Super Bowl. Combine that with a solid defense, and the Giants stand a good chance of taking home the championship once again. The 2009-2010 season is the last that the Giants will play at Giant Stadium, as the team gets a new home next season, Meadowlands Stadium. Help root your team on to victory and say goodbye to Giants Stadium with tickets to the New York Giants from Coast to Coast.

Some New York Giants history: In 1925 New York City sports enthusiast Tim Mara paid $500 for an NFL franchise, which he named the Giants. The team played its home games at the Polo Grounds, which was also the home of the baseball Giants. Legendary halfback Jim Thorpe was recruited to join the team, which earned its first league title in 1927 under head coach Earl Potteiger. The Giants shut out 9 of 12 opponents and surrendered only 20 points during the entire season.
