“Giants Stadium Tour — The Final Season” is a 90-minute guided walkthrough open to the public beginning this summer.  New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority (NJSE), which oversees the Meadowlands complex operations, gave the local media a glimpse into what fans can expect when taking the Giants Stadium tour:

…guides will lead groups through parts of the stadium not generally open to the public: press box, video control room (which they call “The Matrix”), terrace suites, visiting team locker room, media rooms for Giants and Jets post-game press conferences and out onto the field. No Giants and Jets gameday locker rooms, though.

Tours begin  June 13 and run every Saturday to September 19 (excluding July 25 and Aug. 1).  Access will cost $15 for adults and $10 for kids and senior citizens.  Visit www.IZODCenter.com/tours for detailed info and to book your outing.  If any readers attend the tour, we’d be interested in hearing about your experience and encourage you to share some pics.

Five new interactive enhancements to the Madison Square Garden All-Access Tour have been announced, which will add to the mystique of exploring “The World’s Most Famous Arena.”  Among the new additions, probably the most entertaining — at least from a purely humorous standpoint — would be that of a life-size cardboard cut-out of diminutive New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson.  The 2-dimensional likeness could probably serve as a stand-up placard that reads “You Must be THIS Tall to Ride the Tea Cups.” 

Short jokes aside, the other additions round out like this:

- The other new cut-outs  for photo opps include Liberty guard Shameka Christon and Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.

- Fans will now have the opportunity to park their asses on the Rangers bench, or catch a view courtside from the Knicks apron.

- Ever want to chat with a Knicks City Dancer?  Well, here’s your chance with a new Q&A session as well as a photo opp.  Please keep the pickup lines to a minimum.

- Fact sheets will be given out which runs down the rich history of ‘The Garden.’  The sheets have been printed in 6 different languages.

- Also fans will receive a Madison Square Garden backstage pass keepsake
