Giant Love Sweeps New York City

Ecstatic Over Win In Green Bay, Fans Prep For Super Bowl XLII

Slideshow: Giants Headed To Super Bowl

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Giants' fever is growing in just about every corner of New York and New Jersey.

Many fans are now planning trips to Arizona to see Big Blue in Super Bowl XLII.

CBS 2 HD spoke to some people who are now scrambling to get their travel plans lined up for the big game.

On the day after an incredible win in Green Bay in the NFC Championship game, Big Blue was in full view.

"The giants are the greatest team ever," one exuberant fan said. "They're going to do it."

After they did it to the Packers Sunday night, fans were snapping up T-shirts and hats celebrating the Giants trip to the Super Bowl.

"I'm amazed they made it this far," fan Ellen Lezi-Minzi said. "It's a good example to the boys that you just don't give up. You keep getting in there and keep playing."

While merchandise is the closest many will come to Glendale, Ariz., David Holtzman was shopping for his trip to the Super Bowl thanks to a job that's taking him there.

"I think it's going to be unbelievable," Holtzman said. "I've never been to the Super Bowl."

You'll find tickets online going for thousands of dollars, and the trip packages are big bucks, too.

But that didn't stop one travel agency from selling out its trips, costing about $6,000 per person, roundtrip, all in a few hours.

"Just don't give up," an employee said.

In the meantime employees told callers another package would be offered soon.

"The interest level this year is above and beyond anything I've ever seen," said Barry Liben of Big Blue Travel.

Also, on this day, a sighting of some New England fans, along with some arrogance.

"I feel bad for the Giants, actually," one fan said. "I mean, David and Goliath. I think we're going to take them out."

"But David brought down Goliath and the last time these two teams met, the Giants almost brought down the Patriots. And as Giants fans know, in a rematch, anything can happen.

CBS 2 HD will be with the Giants all the way to the Super Bowl. Sports director Ducis Rodgers will be joined by John Discepelo and Hazel Sanchez in bringing you all the action as the Giants gear up for the big game on Feb. 3.
