DIRECTV hosted an exclusive, invite-only event at The Blond in New York City to celebrate the 25th Season of NFL SUNDAY TICKET on DIRECTV – the only place to get every live out-of-market game, every Sunday.

Attendees included Kate Mara, whose family owns the NY Giants, and former Giants Wide Receiver Victor Cruz, as well as actor Gino Vento, and former NFL players Maurice Jones-Drew and Justin Tuck. 

The night was a celebration of the past, present, and future of NFL SUNDAY TICKET with legendary athletes and celebrity sports fans in attendance. Additionally, the true guests of honor were long-time loyal subscribers of NFL Sunday Ticket who have had the service for the full 25 seasons – since 1994.  These lucky few subscribers received the full red carpet treatment and were provided with the unique opportunity to interact with some of their favorite players.
