The Jets Organization made this day a special one from start to finish for the players and their families. The players showed up at the high school to board a coach bus sent to us by the organization to take them and the coaches to Giants Stadium. You can imagine the parking lot was filled with all the parents, cameras in hand.
As the bus pulled away a caravan of fans followed. Each family was given four tickets to the game so they could witness the great event. The players were escorted to the practice tent before the games while the rest of us found our way to our seats.
The players and coaches were invited to be on the field while the national anthem was sung, afterward a few of the players ran over and gave high-fives to a bunch of our players. You can only imagine how wide eyed they were.
While we all enjoyed the first half of the game from our seats the boys were watching from the practice tent and were given dinner.
Then the big moment arrived - HALFTIME. The boys ran out on to the field to play in Giants Stadium. What a great experience for all of them. Standing there and running plays where all their football heroes play.
After their moments of fame they made their way through the stadium and joined us for the second half of the game. Many of them told us they felt famous, as they were walking through the stadium all the fans were cheering for them.
Thanks to all those that made this day possible, truly a special moment in time.
