Fan Events at Giants Training Camp 2008!
All events are free and take place at University at Albany
Giants YOUTH DAY presented by F.Y.E.
On Monday, August 11th the Giants are hosting Giants YOUTH DAY at Training Camp. Come watch your favorite players get ready for the 2008 season! Practice begins at 2:40 pm. Fans can enjoy the day's youth focused activities including the youth football inflatable area. Following the afternoon practice, young Giants fans and their families can stay to enjoy an interactive Giants program. Since this event is all about our young Giants fans, there will be giveaways, face painters, an expanded football inflatables area, skill contests, staged drills and more! At the start of the program, a player will head over to the center of the Stadium Field where kids can see him and take pictures from the bleachers (Aaron Ross, R.W. McQuarters, and Sam Madison have all attended the event in past years)! There are no autograph opportunities during this program; however, there will be special raffles for children to win autographed Giants memorabilia. The after practice program will last for about 30 minutes, which is entirely dependant on the players' post-practice regimens.

Gatorade Beat the Heat
Gatorade will be promoting the "Beat the Heat" program, highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated during summer activities.

Keep an eye out for these kiosks and "Donation Days", where fans can donate money to support proper hydration.
