On Saturday, October 31, 2020, Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC will host its annual Gridiron Games - a two-part event. The event will take place at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets.

Morning Events

In the morning, more than 150 children in our mentoring programs and their adult mentors participate in a magical day at MetLife Stadium, featuring child-friendly football games on the stadium field and the chance to learn cheers from the NY Jets "Flight Crew" cheerleaders.

After the games end, the children and their mentors get a tour of the team locker rooms and head to one of the Stadium's new clubs for lunch.

Following that, the Littles get to hear from a number of former NFL players and special guests, which in the past have included NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, New York Giants' greats Carl Banks, Sean Landeta and Steven Baker, and New York Jets' stars Joe Namath and Freeman McNeil.

Afternoon Events

In the afternoon, lawyers from 16 of New York City's top law firms will compete in a friendly but competitive touch football tournament on the field in MetLife Stadium.

The winning team receives bragging rights and the official Gridiron Games trophy, which is awarded at a cocktail reception for all law firm teams in the stadium's VIP Lounge.
