What was your favorite away game that you attended?

Dominant performance by the defending Super Bowl Champions!

Had a a great time; crowd was about 30% Giant fans; home crowd was sullen but polite; beginning of Corey Webster's great post season.Jacobs ran like a Mack Truck.

A must win game, they railed being down by 14 early in the 1st quarter. A win clinched them a playoff birth. The weather was absolutely horrendous. Cold, windy, & rainy in the beginning. Then the rain turned to heavy snow.

A couple pick sixes for us, and a huge day running the ball.



New York-38 Buffalo-21

I was at that one too!

I went to KC and saw them beat the Chiefs in 09. Arrowhead was a pretty cool place to go.

giggity

New York Giants 9
Washington Redskins 7

The game where Jeff George came in and almost won the game for Washington.

BRAD DALUISO MVP!!

Just kidding. That game farkin' sucked and I'm so glad that I lost every toe due to the cold to snooze through it. At least I can say I saw one of Deion Sanders interceptions in person even if it was bad for my team I guess, so there's..... there's that.

The Eagles fans were so cocky, carrying on about pickle juice, that they never saw the ass whipping coming.

This game was actually close most of the first half. The Giants lead 6-3 at the two minute warning, but two quick touchdowns put the giants up 20-3 and the home crowd turned ugly. The second half was great, the Giants put together a couple of long time consuming drives that ended in points. Every time the Eagles made a mistake the Vet let them hear it.

Giants had lost first two games, but won this one 24-17 after a memorable goal line stand. On their way to the best ending of a season, ever! Lots of dejected Redskin fans. My kids and I couldn't have been happier.

it was a very close back and forth game then JPP blocked a field goal to seal the victory. What a great game, what a great win! Afterward, I was expecting a lot of grief from Cowboys fans but they pretty much left me alone (even though I was donning a Giants shirt).

.

Victor Cruz goes 99 yards...

It was a huge game for both teams, the place was absolutely electric!! Back and forth all game, so many heart pounding moments. We were locked in arm in arm with about 15 other Giant fans, across isles, up and down rows all screaming before the kick JPP blocked. Just went insane after that. I guess I'm biased but I always felt like our run that year started right there.

'07 in Tampa was fun and exciting being a playoff game but it felt like we had that game the entire time. Gathering behind the bench after the win and screaming back and forth with the guys behind the Giants bench was great. Never forget Diehl was one of the last guys to leave, fist pumping and howling up at the crowd.

be Jerrah's palace opener. No better feeling walking out of that place victorious and surrounded by thousands of disappointed Cowpuke fans.

I was at that "away" game too! Awesome atmosphere and that Cruz play obviously turned the tide for the season (although, you could argue the JPP blocked kick was the real turning point if you're willing to ignore the following Redskins game).

No contest. That entire week was pure magic from start to finish.

at the Vet where Strahan scored in an INT return is one. I was at that 2000 Eagles game as well. That was great too.

that's a no brainer ...SB 42 with SB 46 being a close 2nd.

Monday night Katrina game...and Giants v Vikings in Detroit makeup game.

Going to opening night this year in Detroit hope that one ends well too.

in Atlanta in 2007. It was a weird home crowd in the Georgia Dome. I think they were still shell-shocked from the whole Vick controversy (it was only 1-2 months or so after he'd been suspended). The fans in general were very friendly though. It was also the first time I'd gone to a football game in a dome - which was a completely different experience IMO.

A loss, probably best remembered for an offside penalty on a missed field goal. Still, a classic bout between two great heavyweights from the pre-UFA era. Sandwiched between the famous 1986 and 1990 games, this one shared some of the best aspects of both.

These teams should have met again for the NFC Championship. Unfortunately, Flipper Anderson had other ideas.
November 27, 1989 - ( New Window )

one was a loss in a hurricane in new england, Tiki fumbled first drive, returned for a TD Giants lost 10 - 6 or something.

And a tie at RFK stadium on a rainy November Sunday night (Gus Frerrotte headbutt in the end zone; michael westbrook helmet off in OT game)

I'm not likely to go to any more.

Fans had a meltdown; I walked out feeling like a king.

Clinched the division. Sat right behind the Giants bench at the 50 with a whole row of other Giants fans. Got so loud by us toward the end of game that the security guard from on field was telling us to calm it down...in his words "orders from above" (hinting at owners box behind us and looking back seeing the head of Al Davis peaking down).

Tiki's 90 yd TD run...and huge goal line stop by Tuck at DT (his sort of coming of point imo on how good he was) and stopping QB sneak. Fun time...met and talked to ESPN worker on the field and they were having a get together in SF later..which we went to later..great time

Down by 17 to comeback and win in OT. Should have mentioned that in case people don't remember.

It's always good fun being on the right side of a blowout...

Another amazing Eli Manning comeback win, aided by Cruz & the runner giving himself up rule. Nicks caught a huge game winning TD.

There's nothing like seeing the Manning Magic in person...

I had people good naturedly heckling me all game then we won... in convincing hard nosed fashion and people asking to buy me beers because I was a good sport/fan.

the Pitt game in 08. Pretty friendly fans, even tailgated with a huge group of them before the game. Fantastic football game. I thought right after the game that we'd see them in the Super Bowl. They made it, we should have.

The Jets game in 2011 was also a fun one, but only technically a road game.

The Giants went out and efficiently destroyed the Bucs. Eli was on fire and after the 1st quarter it was all NYG.

I remember Rhonde mouthing off about not being afraid of Eli so it was a very satisfying win and the beginning of a very special playoff run.

Rams power offense behind Eric Dickerson stopped cold by Giants D. My dad and I had seats in the temp stands that rolled out from under the right field bleachers at the Big A. Awesome game, more Giants fans than I anticipated.

That's all I can remember except that the Giants won (16-13?)

I remember that 1st quarter being brutal

Made the trip to Indy with my Dad and two brothers who are all Colts fans.

Watching Shockey run over Gibson and the Collins to Toomer flea flicker were things of beauty.

It was definitely brutal. The Giants couldn't do anything and the Bucs fans were so into the game. It didn't look good for the G men.

2007 at wembley stadium as it is my only game ;-)

with the BBI tailgate crew

Against the 49ers I went to the game out
There during the regular season.The giants
Lost that game. So when they were going
back for the championship game. I wanted
to go back and avenge the loss of the regular
season and they did. Eli took a licking and kept
on ticking.

in '86 and '90. DIfferent experiences but equally memorable.

attended three giants road games and they were all amazing:

in 1996, they killed the lions 35-7; the garbage time touchdown of defensive tackle ray agnew stripping barry sanders and rumbling in for a touchdown was pure ecstacy. the trashy lions fans were in abundance and they were quite sour but there were a lot of giants fans in the house.

in 1999, they defeated the doug flutie led bills 19-17 on a last minute cary blanchard 48 yard field goal that barely made it over the crossbar on a frigid afternoon in orchard park. no flutie flakes heroics/hail maries. funniest moment was watching some fat drunk dude in a ken hull jersey passed out holding a beer and seeing it slowly tip into his lap as the crowd in the section all followed and cheered with each subsequent movement towards his soon to be drenched pants.

i went to the 2006 monday nighter in dallas that marked the beginning of romo-mania; giants dominated all night, but injuries and a conservative style in the second half almost led to a cowboy comeback until kevin dockery picked off romo in the clutch and ran back a long TD.

Giants beat Broncos at Mile High 10 Dec 1989 --- will never forget this game in the snow.

Took my son. We both wore Giants jerseys. Back in the old stadium we had to park way far away, and then walk through a walkway with temporary railings on the sides that weaved through the entire parking lot (and tailgates). Fans were swearing at us, through food, etc.; my son was amazed. We got the last laugh however when we scored two TDs in the last 3 minutes, and then JPP blocked the FG. It was funny, as soon as we scored the first TD all the Cowboy fans knew they would lose. They were such defeated losers.

Man was that cold - bought a beer in the 2Q, by the time i got to my seat it was frozen stiff. People there were so nice though, i almost felt bad beating them.

Was lucky enough to be at the Tampa game that year too, like many others here have cited already. Ditto Rams '08. Dont get to road trip much any more with young kids these days, looking forward to doing it again later in life. It's a lot of fun.

I was in the nose bleeds at Gillette and had a group of Brooklyn cops behind me so I was in good company. We were going nuts when Eli hit Ballard for the game winner.

giants needed to win the game and get some help to make the playoffs for the 2nd straight year.my older brother,father,and I were sitting in the mezzanine in the 2nd row.i was 15.in front of us were about 6 6 foot+ construction guys all in eagles gear.my bro and dad were the smart ones,they didn't wear any blue;i was in my carpenter jersey and a blue giants cowboy hat with a red feather.needless to say,those guys gave me shit aaaallllll day,especially since the giants never led....until danelo kicked a fg with 2 seconds left to win the game. I stood up and said"HEY!" they all turned around,and I said "whaddaya got to say now,LOSERS????" MY DAD AND BRO JUST SLUNKED DOWN IN THERE SEATS,EXPECTING A BEATING,but they all just laughed and said"good game,kid!" and walked away---my brother never went to another game with us,and my dad didn't attend another game until 2007.....

nothing else came close, not even SF playoff that year.

Return to the Sombrero. Being a huge Simms fan, I hated seeing him lose the job to Hoss. Hoss gets hurt in this game. Tied 14-14 late and Simms hits Baker for the game winner. Tampa was terrible that year and that would have been a horrendous loss...IIRC they followed it up with some poor losses and missed the playoffs.

I caught so much shit from some Bears fans who had nothing to say when Eli led the Giants to 2 TDs in the 4th.

Giants at Packers.

even though my balls didn't come back outside my body for 3 days after.

Win and in. And tiki had his career game. Going into that game I was angry at him for all the distractions and didn't think he had any heart left. By the end of the game i had no voice left because I was yelling his name so loud and so often. It was a great game. And my boss got me the tickets for christmas. 30 yd line right behind the Giants bench. Amazing. Skins fans were so pissed that me and my buddy had to take our jerseys off and hide them under our jackets when leaving because all the threats we were getting. Great effing game. And tiki had proven me wrong. But then he had to open his mouth week one on NBC and ruined it all. Too bad.

I will never forget that flea flicker from Collins to Toomer. Thing of beauty. Couldn't have been executed better.

1) 2007 NFC Championship game - The cold, the few Giants fans who were there, the stakes. I don't know if I'll ever top this.

2) 2008 @ Pittsburgh - The two top teams in the NFL mano y mano. Back and forth and the Giants pull out a great win.

3) 2011 @ Jets - I know this sort of doesn't count, but seeing a 99 yd TD run is rarer than a perfect game, so it was amazing to shut all those Jets fans up and have a great Christmas.

That game was my choice as well. The only problem I had was that one of the low classed Philadelphia fans pissed in his beer cup and threw it at me and my friends ( who wre all wearing Giants gear). I hate that Philadelphia team more than any other team in professional sports, and I hope they never win a Super Bowl in my lifetime.

Great experience as a few before here already mentioned - late fall great weather 4 o'clock game. Their fans were really cool in their house. That stadium is wonderful. We were defending champs and their fans gave us respect for it- we won a close game...

11/28/98, UVA at Tek. Down 29-7 at the half, came back to win 36-32.

road game I went to was the last Manning bowl in Indy where we got completely smacked.

Best raod game I've went to was ND @ Michigan in the big house. ND knocked off a Michigan team taht was in the preseason top 5. Can't say I was impressed with the knowledge of the Big House fans but they did have a nice tailgating scene.

Christmas eve

was also fun.

Giants gave the Niners a beat down... Won 26 - 3.

Giants ended up 9-7 and missed the playoffs.

49ers went 11-4-1 and lost to the Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII.

Defense was amazing until the end and the very beginning of the game. I've never been more depressed in my life at that point but hearing the eagles fans bitch was quite funny and lifted my spirits for the day.
