A Little NY GIANTS History
 Giants
Stadium is home to the New York (NY) Giants,
along with another great American professional
football team of New York – the New York Jets.
The Stadium is located inside the massive
Meadowlands Sports Complex in suburban East
Rutherford, New Jersey. The Giants Stadium is
the fifth home of the NY Giants, since its
creation as a football team of the National
Football League (NFL) in 1925. Of the five teams
that joined the NFL that year, the Giants are
the only one that has survived. The Team  The
New York Giants, which plays in the Eastern
Division of the National Football Conference in
the National Football league (NFL), was founded
by Tim Mara - a businessman, a bookie, and a
promoter all rolled into one. Professional
football, then, was played in Dayton, Rochester,
Columbus, and such places. Professional football
had never really yet taken off, and only
professional baseball, boxing, and college
football was popular.The Giants are known as Big Blue Wrecking Crew, Big Blue, G-Men, The Jints, The New York Football Giants, and Jersey Giants.  After
the death of Tim Mara in 1959, the ownership of
the team was passed onto his younger son,
Wellington, who since the age of 14 (in the
1930s) had been controlling the franchise along
with his elder brother, Jack. After remaining in
the hands of the Mara family for 66 years, 50
percent stake in the club was sold to Preston
Robert Tisch - a lifelong Giants fan, a native
of New York, and one of the America’s most
successful businessmen.The New York Giants have four pre-merger NFL Championships, which they won in 1927, 1934, 1938, and in 1956, under their belt. They won the two Super Bowls in 1986 and in 1990. The Homes  Though
today, the NY Giants are based at their own
Stadium since 1976, they had four other homes
since they came together as a professional
football team. They started with the Polo
Grounds as their base, and shared this home with
another professional sports team – the New York
Baseball Giants. They moved home to the Yankee Stadium before the start of the 1956 season, and played there until the beginning of the 1973 season. After playing the first two games of this season at the Yankee Stadium, which was closing for renovations and repairs, they moved base to the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut, and stayed there until the end of the 1974 season. They then moved base to the Shea Stadium, and called it their home until they moved into their own home – the Giants Stadium. The NY Giants Tickets  You
