Metlife Stadium
Split Day (9am-1pm) (12pm-6pm)
Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City will once again be hosting the Gridiron Games!
The Games will be held on Saturday, November 9, 2024, from 9am to 6pm at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
The morning event will provide over 200 children (or “Littles”) in our programs the opportunity to spend a magical day with their adult volunteer mentors (or “Bigs”) on the stadium field. The Littles will have fun participating in a series of football drills and games, learn teamwork and sportsmanship, tour the stadium, and will be coached by former NFL stars.
In the afternoon, lawyers and bankers from New York City’s top firms will go head-to-head in a fun-filled touch football competition.
