911 Tribute at Giants vs Cowboys | New York Giants News

This Sunday night, MetLife Stadium transforms into a solemn tribute ground as the Giants and Cowboys prepare to clash — but first, the field becomes a stage for remembrance. First responders from NYPD, FDNY, and PAPD form a powerful tunnel for players to run through, honoring the 25th anniversary of 9/11. The ceremony unfolds with a moment of silence, a haunting photo montage of victims submitted by season ticket holders, and the iconic Tribute in Light illuminating the sky. The national anthem is sung by police and fire personnel, followed by a stirring flyover from the New Jersey State Police helicopter. Families of the fallen, including the Palumbo family — honorary captains for the coin toss — are honored, alongside former Giants from the 2001 team rallying fans with a “Go Big Blue” chant. A steel beam from the World Trade Center, part of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s tour, stands as a poignant symbol outside the stadium, while FDNY Ladder 343 welcomes everyone. On game day, tickets soar to an average of $369, but the Giants are in full health, with Coach Harbaugh noting they’re open to adding a player when it makes sense for the roster.
