"The company told The Post on Thursday it plans to light up the tower in Chiefs’ or Eagles’ colors for the winner of the Feb. 12 game."
It's a NYC building owned by a realty trust. They couldn't give a shit about what NYC, NY State or Giants fans think. This is all about driving tourism for them.

Talk about a lot to do about nothing. Empire State Building will go green for Eagles again if Philly wins Super Bowl - ( New Window )

100% correct.
I also made a stink about NYC doing this last week, but as we see they do it for whoever wins these games. ALso done at the college level too.
It's at thing. Get over it. They are representing whoever wins.
there’s an agreement with the NFL to light in the colors of whoever wins certain games.
I don't think that's true, I think it's just something they've decided to do for certain big games - the NFL said they had nothing to do with it. link - ( New Window )
I dont care who owns the building or who makes the decision.. it's ridiculous. Its an iconic landmark in the city.
Drive tourism? Who is going to go to NYC with the hope to see their team colors on the ESB? No one.
And even if it WAS a contractual commitment, the tweets shouldn't be celebratory, they should be " well this sucks, but a deals a deal"
It would never happen in Philadelphia. They would burn the building down.
I mean seriously .. Philly has an amazing, world class drone show last weekend to hype up the city, and then ESB pulls this shit? Eagles fans literally laughing at us..
For those who aren't bothered I don't understand why you're not.

Because it’s colored lights on a building.
And we shouldn’t aspire to be like people in Philly.
So happy the Giants don't play anywhere in NY and NEVER will again.
What the heck does the mayor have to do with this?
Because he was quoted as supporting the idea. Not that he has a say in it, but the Mayor that represents a city that has two NY Football Teams from it! Kind of poor optics don’t you think?
Anyway, they'd already announced this, and as previously discussed, they've been doing this for several years. (Some of their tweeting seems gratuitous though).
Oh they announced it? Too late I guess. Once lighting is announced it MUST happen.
owned by Empire State Realty Trust. So target them not the city
And Anthony Malkin is the Chairman, CEO and President of ESRT. His family owns the ESRT so bombard him and Trust with texts and emails about NYC and our sports team.

If it's all about tourism from other areas, why stop short of celebrating the Red Sox and Astros, as noted in that article?
Also, "after the Eagles defeated the even more despised Tom Brady and the New England Patriots" ??? The reporter is as clueless as the ESB is about the Giants and their fans.
(yeah, I know there were some on bbi rooting for the eagles in that game, but we all know they're a minority)
there is a Giants fan who is working late in the Empire State Building who can pull the plug on the electric generator that runs the lights in the building if the Eagles win. So if the Eagles win and you're a Giants fan working in the ESB pull the plug and you will live in infamy to all Giants fans.
Such a lousy, crime-filled, wannabe tough guy city.
Manhattan is an awful sports city. Completely clueless. So embarrassing.
of course it is. Much like the state of Florida. What do they have in common? Both are filled with people who have relocated from other parts of the country. You can probably find as many Cowboys Eagles and Commanders fans in Manhattan as Giants fans. Different story in the boroughs and NJ, CT, etc...
That would explain it.
LOL, wut?

Yet the city has nothing to do with this, and can't change it.

Not the city government itself, but the finance industry for sure.
Free market capitalism.
The team doesn't even play in the state.

Beginning to think it might be a Philly native?
Where is the uproar from the local New Yorkers?
And Anthony Malkin is the Chairman, CEO and President of ESRT. His family owns the ESRT so bombard him and Trust with texts and emails about NYC and our sports team.
now you're talking!

This. As childish as I feel it is to care at all, the tweets are what push it over the edge for me. Get that "fly eagles fly" crap out of here.
Also, don't try to pretend you're all NYC proud again before the Giants next playoff game. That act is empty now.
