Comments 0 | Recommend 0

While the reigning super bowl champs, The New York Giants,  got started with training camp today in Albany, hundreds of fans lined up at city hall, hoping to catch a glimpse of Super Bowl victory prizes.

"I'm so excited, my boyfriend is going to be so mad right now", said one die-hard fan.

Another added, "It's very exciting, your hearts a flutter. its...wow. you know? that's it!"

With their big grins, thumbs up and camera clicking; fans of all ages relished in this moment of a lifetime.

Fans like Lance Koreman, who have been following the team for 46 years.

 "You know how much you love your kids," said Lance, " That's how much I love the Giants."

Others tell CBS 6, The Giants Super Bowl win, give them something to believe in.

 "It's just nice to see with all the craziness happening here in New York...  we actually have some real heroes."

 Once giants fans were done checking themselves out in the Super Bowl trophy, they got a second treat; the rare chance to get a close look at the championship ring

 The ring, dubbed by retired giant Michael Strahan the "ten table ring" because it can be seen from 10 tables away, was made specifically for the Giants by luxury jeweler, Tiffany and Co. It consists of  1.5 carats of diamonds, and is made of white gold. The ring has three footballs on it, symbolizing their three championship wins. It's estimated to cost roughly $35,000.

 "You look over there and you see that trophy, then you think about February when they won that game. It was an amazing game. It's a game I still get tingles when I think about", added another die hard fan.

 The trophy and ring was only on display from noon until two pm, Friday afternoon.
