Here is some of our coverage from the big day - and the day after - from Cathy Gandolfo, John Rawlins, Gary Papa and Hank Sperka.
Cathy and John were in the stadium with the fans who were hot, but happy. Gary Papa was in the press box with Vernon Odom and Chris Wagner, and Hank Sperka returned to JFK the next day to see what it took to clean up after 100,000 people.
