New York Giants Tickets Information
The New York Giants are one of 4 teams in the National Football Conference East Division (NFC East) – along with the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Redskins – and one of 16 teams in the NFC which in turn is one of the two conferences in the National Football League (NFL).
Based in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Giants have been playing pro football as part of the NFL since 1925. Moving through a series of divisions and conferences – from the Eastern Division, to the American Conference to the Eastern Conference and it’s Century Division and, later, its Capitol Division – the period prior to their joining the NFC East was a notable one.
They won 8 NFL East Division championships (1933-35, 1938-39, 1941, 1944, 1946), 6 Eastern Conference championships (1956, 1958-59, 1961-63), and 4 NFL championships (1927, 1934, 1938, 1956).
The New York Giants joined the NFC East Division in 1970, where they remain today. Since then they have won 7 NFC East Division championships (1986, 1989-90, 1997, 2000, 2005) and 4 NFC conference championships (1986, 1990, 2000, 2007). Since the advent of the Super Bowl, the Giants have played in 4 Super Bowls and won 3 – Super Bowl XXI in 1987 beating the Denver Broncos 39-20, Super Bowl XXV in 1991 beating the Buffalo Bills 20-19, and Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots 17-14. The Giants’ victory in Super Bowl XLII is widely considered to be one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history.
Since 1976 the New York Giants have been playing their home games at the 80,000+ seat Giants Stadium (better known as The Meadowlands). The team uniform colors are red, royal blue, gray, and white.
They are currently under the leadership of head coach Tom Coughlin who has been in this role since 2004. This isn’t his debut as an NFL head coach though. He was also head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Boston College. Before that, he was on the coaching and administrative staffs of the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles and the NCAA football teams for Boston College, Syracuse University, and Rochester Institute of Technology.
