Charlie Huizinga, the boy who received the tickets, has had support from the Vikings during his battle with leukemia. In October, Charlie got to play catch with Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson – and blow the Gjallarhorn before a game – as part of his Make a Wish surprise.
That was far and away the best moment inside the stadium as the Giants went on to beat the Vikings 31-24, sending Minnesota into the offseason while New York travels to Philadelphia to face the Eagles.
