“As a New Jersey native, I’ve grown up a Giants fan my entire life.” said Jim Brown, Hoosier Park’s president and chief operating officer. “We are excited to have these former
Super Bowl champions and celebrities join us to make the Winner’s Circle the ‘Giants Headquarters’ in Indianapolis. Of course, Patriots fans will be welcomed as well, but just know that they are sure to be outnumbered and might even be required to sit next to Michael Strahan.”
