It's an argument that's been boiling over since 1976–or, at least since the Giants started winning Super Bowls.

Where to hold the victory parade? The Canyon of Heroes, as is the traditional place a New York-based sporting team takes its victory lap (the G-Men are set to walk down at 11 a.m. Tuesday), or in New Jersey, where the newly crowned Super Bowl champion team has actually been located for 36 years? It's hotly-debated, so much so Gov. Chris Christie has been calling them the "New Jersey" Giants.

What do you think? Should it be exclusively in New Jersey? New York? Or, can football fans from both sides of the border agree that the Giants are both states' teams? Chime in below.

Seriously? Drive around the parking lot vs. the Canyon of Heroes? Canyon winds hands down, however, for those who can't or won't do what it takes to get there, something additional at the stadium should be held like in 08.

You can call them the "METRO NEW JERSEY/YORK (or YORK -JERSEY) GIANTS" But then you would need a Giant (big) shirt to put all that on!
Since they play and train in New Jersey, New Jersey should go first.
How about taking a tour boat and put the Giants on that and let them sail down the Hudson to the Statue of Liberty (Federal property) where both Governors and a bunch of mayors can make speeches.
