One modern practice is for buildings to light up in team colors following a big win from one of their college or pro sports teams.

It wasn’t even like there was a mistake; the Empire State Building’s official Twitter account even emphasized that they were celebrating the big win for the Giants’ arch rivals.

Here are the best reactions from Twitter.
