New York Giants Super Bowl Parade! It’s the Fans!
New York Giants Super Bowl Parade! It’s the Fans!
Fantastic February weather and a huge crowd turned out today to see the New York Giants bring home the Lombardi Trophy after defeating the poor old Pats, again, in this year’s take it to the limit, last second countdown, nail biting, NFL Super Bowl.
The parade starts down at the southern tip of Manhattan, moving up Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes to City Hall. Enough with the detail, here are some photographs, but, I must warn you – Eli Manning is not in this lot. He and the rest of the team are sitting in my iPhone waiting for me to download the video, edit it and download to YouTube later ie . . . a long time to come.
I didn’t get downtown early enough to secure a vantage point for photographing the Eli-te, the players on parade but for me the real stars of the day were squeezed together in the tight crowd. We were all on that Broadway together. Can’t have one without the other and the Giants, well, in the words of someone from Brooklyn, “they done good!”
It all went by in a blur, as you will see for yourself . . .
Here are some of those faces in the crowd, those faces that come together and make this city what it is. And if you have been here, you know what it is, and, if not come and see for yourself just how great it is!

Another great set of photos, Patti. One of these years, there’ll be similar images of England fans celebrating the win of the World Cup. In the meantime, I’ll take pleasure looking at these.
One year Pie it has to happen, hopefully before 2066!
Looks like so much fun!
I can’t really relate to that, though… I don’t even know how to respond!
See, I’m a Vikings fan, and as you know, we’re not big on ‘winning’ the ‘Superbowl’, so…
🙂
Awesome photos, by the way!
I meant to include that in my original comment, but then I got all weepy over the perpetual defeat thing.
When you put it like that, the perpetual defeat thing, well I just want to give you the Lombardi Trophy. You know I would if I could. I like everyone to be happy! Oh, and thanks so much for your awesomeness! (People, if you don’t know already, go over and check what SiG does with some of his time!).
Where would the NFL be without the Vikings and their fans! Not to mention those Cheeseheads from across the way . . .
Just dropping by to say, “Thank You.” Have a lovely weekend….best wishes to you and your love ones!
Lovely to have you drop by IT and hope your w/e was all you wanted it to be! All best wishes!
