In the days leading up to Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, what would your reaction be if you stepped into your local off-track wagering location and were quickly surrounded by New York Giants and New England Patriots alumni?

Indiana's Hoosier Park has announced that its Winner’s Circle Pub, Grille & OTB, located in downtown Indianapolis, is hosting former Giants players Michael Strahan, Howard Cross, Everson Walls, former Indianapolis Colts player Hank Baskett and Food Network celebrity chef Guy Fieri leading up to Super Bowl XLVI.

The celebrity meet-and-greets are free to the public until Super Bowl Sunday (February 5), complete with autographs and Giants memorabilia giveaways.

The OTB has been dedicated the unofficial 'Giants Home Away From Home' where Giants fans and players are welcome to gather for dining and entertainment while visiting Indianapolis.

“As a New Jersey native, I’ve grown up a Giants fan my entire life.” said Hoosier Park President and COO Jim Brown. “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.”

The complete list of celebrity appearances is as follows:

• Thursday, Feb. 2, Howard Cross: 5:00 p.m. (1989 - 2001 NY Giants, 1990 Super Bowl champion)
