Hot Tips for Obtaining New York Giants Tickets
The New York Giants, officially known as the New York Football Giants - so as not to confuse it with the professional baseball team by the same name – was instrumental in bringing professional football to New York City. Those days, circa 1925, was the time when professional football was played in places, such as Dayton, Rochester, and Columbus. It was the time when only professional baseball, boxing, and college football was played.
That particular afternoon in October 1925, the New York Giants brought professional football to New York City, and though they lost their inaugural game at home, 14-0 to the Frankford Yellow Jackets, professional football had come to stay at New York.
The New York Giants, as a professional football team, plays in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference in the National Football league (NFL). Founded by a businessman, a bookie, and a promoter all rolled into one – Tim Mara – the New York Giants were one of the very first teams of the National Football League (NFL). Of the five professional football teams to join the NFL that year in 1925, the Giants are the only surviving team.
The Giants have a number of nicknames. They are variously known as Big Blue Wrecking Crew, Big Blue, G-Men, The Jints, The New York Football Giants, and Jersey Giants.
The Homes Of The Giants
The New York Giants, today, are based at the Giants Stadium, in the massive Meadowlands Sports Complex in suburban East Rutherford, New Jersey.
From the time they first started playing, the Giants had four different bases, before they finally settled down in their own Stadium. To begin with, they shared the Polo Grounds with their baseball namesake – the New York Baseball Giants. Before the start of the 1956 season, they moved into the Yankee Stadium. With the Yankee Stadium closing down for massive renovations, the Giants, after playing the first two games of the 1973 season, shifted base temporarily to the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut for the rest of the season, as well as the 1974 season. After the 1974 season, they shifted to their fourth home – the Shea Stadium and stayed there until the opening of their own Giants Stadium in 1976.
The New York Giants have six NFL titles under their belt. Four are the pre-merger NFL Championships, which they won in 1927, 1934, 1938, and in 1956. The other two are the Super Bowls they won in 1986 and in 1990.
The Tickets
As is with most of the sports tickets in New York City, the New York Giants tickets are also not easy to come by. If you are unable to procure them from the venues itself, you can arrange to have your New York Giants tickets bought from the licensed ticket brokers of New York City.
