Watching the Super Bowl in the Hudson Valley

New York Giants Legend David Tyree is hosting a Big Game Viewing Party at Empire City Casino this Sunday when the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons.

Most fans know Tyree for his miraculous helmet grab on a third down and long on the final drive of the 2008 Big Game that helped propel the Giants to their first championship win in 17 years and ruined New England’s bid for a perfect season. During the viewing party, Tyree will also provide some insight on what it was like playing the undefeated Patriots nine years ago.

The casino's free festivities begin in the Entertainment Lounge at 5:30 p.m. on game day, where Tyree will mingle, sign mini footballs which will be offered to the first 100 guests, and watch the pre-game shenanigans with fans until 6:30 p.m.

Empire City Casino is bringing in a 10 foot by 15 foot jumbo screen to bring football fans as close to the action as possible with seating on a first-come, first-serve basis along with $5 beers and hot dogs.
