Big Blue Apple: Giants celebrate Super Bowl triumph with parade

Feb 7, 2012

The New York Giants were greeted by nearly one million well-wishers on Tuesday following the team's Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots.

The parade began at Battery Place and spanned through the Canyon of Heroes to Worth Street before eventually settling at MetLife Stadium.

“Two months ago, the experts doubted the Giants would even make the playoffs, but we're here today because the Giants believed in each other, and you believed in them,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

Giants running back Brandon Jacobs walked around MetLife Stadium with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, allowing several of the Big Blue faithful to take an upclose look.

Defensive captain Justin Tuck took a shot at the rival New York Jets by stating the stadium is “our house.” The Jets and Giants share MetLife Stadium.

“We just came from a great parade in the Canyon of Heroes, but when you pull into this place and see all the fans, there really is no place like home," team co-owner John Mara said.
