New York Giants, St. Anthony's 2016 Gala Date, Guests, Tickets and More

Tyler ConwayMay 5, 2016

Do you want to hang out with the two most decorated quarterbacks in New York Giants history? Well, St. Anthony's High School in New Jersey is providing the opportunity. 

St. Anthony's Annual Gala Dinner will feature Eli Manning and Phil Simms as its guests of honor. Donors will have a chance to get autographs and even hang out with the two Giants legends, depending on their gift levels.

There's a $10,000 level that would feature the best possible evening. The donor is guaranteed one table of 10 with premium seating, along with a meet-and-greet with Manning for two VIP members. Cut that donation in half, and you still get the meet-and-greet with Manning—just not the premium seating.

For those wanting a little cheaper evening, there are other options available. A donation of $750 gets you an autograph opportunity and private cocktails. A $300 donation covers just the dinner itself, but you can still always say you dined with two Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks.

What may be most interesting is how close Manning and Simms sit together. The two have an interesting history, thanks in large part to comments Simms made as an analyst in 2012. Simms, a staple at CBS with Jim Nantz, said at the time that he did not categorize Manning as "elite." While it was not meant as a slight, according to Simms, it caused enough of a controversy that multiple Giants addressed the situation. 

"I never read anything into it," Manning said, per Ian O'Connor of ESPN.com. "Our PR guys with the Giants told me about it, and I just didn't think much about it. I wasn't playing at a high level, and I needed to play better than what I was, and I already knew that. So I was just trying to go out there and play better."

Manning had won two Super Bowl MVPs at the time. Given the Giants haven't made the playoffs in the four years since, it's hard to think Simms' opinion has changed.

But given the fact they're willing to dine together as part of St. Anthony's celebration, odds are there isn't any real animosity. 

The gala will be held Tuesday, May 10 at Liberty House in Jersey City, New Jersey.
