The Empire State Building is not yet done causing mayhem in the streets of New York.
After stirring up chaos on social media from New York Giants fans for lighting up green in support of the Philadelphia Eagles after their win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game last weekend, the iconic building is planning to do the same depending on the outcome of Super Bowl LVII.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams admitted some fault after the uproar on social media, saying “that got away from us.”
“The way the Eagles game got away from us with the Giants, we should have lit up in real symbolism the colors of the giant. That blue should have been there,” Adams said during an appearance on CNN this week.
