"Tomorrow night Giants fans from around the tri-state area will convene at Penn Station to show their support for the New York Giants," said Mayor Giuliani. "This rally is just one way New Yorkers can show their support for Big Blue. Beginning tomorrow, I'm encouraging all New Yorkers to wear blue, or their favorite New York Giants article of clothing, until Super Bowl Sunday. On behalf of all Giants fans everywhere I wish the team the best of luck on Super Bowl Sunday."

Guardian Angel Curtis Sliwa and Jammin 105 DJ Jay Thomas, will emcee the rally while former Giants greats Carl Banks, Bart Oates and Dave Jennings will be on hand.
