The Greatest New York Giants Called Albany Home Each Fall [PICS]

The New York Giants have a deep history with Albany and the Capital Region.

In the mid to late 1990s, head coach Jim Fassel and company used the facilities at the University at Albany each preseason for over a decade, as some of the best Big Blue beasts tore it up in the Capital Region before taking the field in the NFL.

Albany football fans saw it all during the '90s. The changing of the guard between Kanell and Collins, the development of greats like Tiki Barber and Amani Toomer, and much more.
