Metlife Stadium
The Gridiron Games are back!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City (BBBS of NYC) will once again be hosting the Gridiron Games!
The Games will be held on Saturday, November 11, 2023, from 9am to 6pm at MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
The morning event will provide over 150 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, visit the stadium, and will be coached by former NFL stars.
In the afternoon, lawyers from some of New York City’s top law firms will go head-to-head in a fun-filled touch football competition.
NFL Stars at previous Gridiron Games events have included:
New York Jets
Joe Namath, Tony Richardson, Freeman McNeil, Bruce Harper, Jeff Richardson, Kris Jenkins and Wesley Walker.
New York Giants
Kerry Collins, Carl Banks, Billy Taylor, Stephen Baker, Brian Witherspoon, Rodney Hampton and Sean Landeta.
