The New York Giants celebrated their 2012 Super Bowl win with a ticker-tape parade in New York today. Thousands of sports fans filled the streets to take part in the "Parade of Champions" as the Giants were showered with at least 30 tons of manufactured confetti from skyscrapers lining Broadway.
Marching bands played popular tunes and floats filled with Giants players passed through the streets, as Big Blue celebrated its Sunday win against the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots.
The parade began at the southern tip of Manhattan in Battery Park and ended at City Hall. Quarterback Eli Manning and other team members gave speeches at the end of the parade procession as the team was given the keys to the city at the City Hall ceremony.
New York Giants' wide receiver Victor Cruz graced the first float that passed through the streets and received cheers and praise from fans. Giants quarterback Eli Manning held the Vince Lombardi trophy and joined Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Cuomo and others on a float passing through confetti filled streets.
