New York Giants and another Super Bowl win?

The New York Giants have a talent, not only for playing amazing football, but for entertaining fans as well. There is something about being at a Giants game – or even watching it on TV – that gets electricity flowing from one person to the next. From the beginning of the career in the NFL, New York Giants tickets have sold at record breaking numbers, and 2009 will be no different.

The majority of home games are played in front of a stadium that is overflowing with people with hardly any room to move. Fans love their Giants, and make it a point to be at every home game to cheer them on. Even when the Giants were part of the AFL, tickets sold like hot cakes, and fans poured in from every crevice.

The Giants started playing football in 1925 after the team was purchased by Tim Mara who only paid $500 for the team. The following year was spent investing $25,000 in the team to make them worth keeping around. Finally it was time for them to play their first game against, none other than the Chicago Bears. The Giants were the underdog, at this game, as the Bears were a much more powerful team. Therefore, you can imagine what a shock it was when they defeated the Bears and walked away a bit taller.

Over the course of history, the Giants have become legends in professional football. Numerous players have ended their careers in the Hall of Fame, many of which played only for the Giants, and not other pro team. Some of these players are names anyone would recognize, like Alphonse Leemans, Roosevelt Brown, Morris Badgro, Lawrence Taylor, and Tom Landry.

In 1925, their first season, the team won 11 of their scheduled games, leaving only one loss and one tie game for the record books. Shortly thereafter, in 1927, they won their first NFL Championship, which they stole from the Chicago Bears with an ending score of 13-7. This game was, and still is, a proud moment for the Giants, and a bit of an embarrassment for the Bears.

The New York Giants has, and probably always will be, a family run and operated business. Over the years, the team has accomplished many record breaking moves, and won an exuberant number of scheduled games. Their drive is nowhere near burnt out, and will not be for some time to come.

In 1933, when division play was part of the game, the Giants won eight division titles. In ’34, and again in ’38, the team won NFL Championship titles as well. By 1963, they were able to claim another NFL Championship and six more division titles to their ledger of accomplishments. To top it off, division titles were won again in ’86, ’89, and ’90.

In the recent season of ’07, the Giants brought home the Super Bowl Championship ring. As if they didn’t have enough fans, and tickets did not already sell out, this win increased everything for the team – ticket sales, fans, profits, etc. With the ’09 season quickly approaching, fans and football fanatics alike are already making plans to attend every Giants game this year!
