    Ticker-tape parade for New York Giants on Broadway

    NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Giants are celebrating their Super Bowl win with a ticker-tape parade in the Canyon of Heroes on Broadway, where the city has honored stars for almost a century.

    The team started at the southern tip of Manhattan in Battery Park and slowly moved north to City Hall as thousands of fans dressed head-to-toe in Giants gear cheered. They are being showered with a mile of confetti along the procession.

    The team will be presented with symbolic keys to the city in a ceremony at City Hall Plaza.

    As a marching band played, floats adorned with sparkling blue and white Giants logos and carrying Giants players and their families and friends began to wind their way through the route.

      If only NYC would have given returning Iraq vets a ticker tape parade.
      I guess sports teams matter more in the long run.

      NYC mayor said that a parade for Iraqi troops wasn't a great idea because the war is still going on in Afghanistan---so it's not the end of war for US troops, and many in the parade will be going right back out again. I don't agree, but I think he has a point there.

      NYC will hold a parade celebrating a Super Bowl win, but won't have a parade honoring Iraq/Afganistan vets. Whether you approve of the reason we are fighting or not, they will deserve our support. Service men and women would give their lives for you!

        Great point

        No one has asked NYC to have such a parade. And why is it up to NYC to do that? Why not San Francisco or Chicago? NYC is celebrating their own team.

        The military is against any parade while there are still troops in harms way. Makes sense to me. It's up to the military, not NYC.
    • A Yahoo! User  •  New York, New York  •  3 mths ago
      It is ironic to think that the city is holding a parade for the winners of the Super Bowl, but no
      one thinks of the troops that fought for 9 years in the Iraq/Afganistan war! Don't they deserve
      some recognition for all the sacrifices they've made? Henry- Queens, NY

        The military is against any parade while there are still troops in harms way. It's up to them, not NYC.

      Any parade for returning Iraq and Afghanistan troops yet?
    • Joe  •  3 mths ago
      You're a bunch of sour-grape idiots.

      The MILITARY itself objected to a parade in NYC...because we still have troops in Afghanistan. The Pentagon asked New York not to hold a parade until the Afghan veterans come home too. So they WILL have a parade...just not yet.

      Just as long as the fans don't start another riot.

      The Bills are the only REAL New York team!

      New York City holds a ticker tape parade for a sports team Not our returning American soldiers? New York had plenty of time to honor our own,before this game even came to be. What country and soldiers would they throw a parade for?
    • Go  •  New Orleans, Louisiana  •  3 mths ago
      The game was not even a sell out, 600 tickets left @ 2 hours before game time @ $400.00. I guess there are not enough rich people in New York. Over a million people showed up for the Saints champ parade 2009 in New Orleans - small population New York city population dwarfs New Orleans and they will be lucky to see 100,000 at the parade, wow what support. Who wants to be around arrogant people, except arrogant people.

      Ticker-Tape REALLY, hasn’t been around for at least 30 years. Not to mention most of the windows in these buildings no longer open so people can’t jump out, maybe they should re-think that 
