New York Jets history
They started life as the Titans of New York, an AFL founding club formed in 1959, and their first home, starting in 1960, was the Polo Grounds in upper Manhattan. New owners renamed them the Jets in 1963. A year later they moved to Shea Stadium in Queens, and in 1984 they crossed the river to the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Practice moved from Hofstra University on Long Island to Florham Park in 2008.
The 1968 season was the high point. The Jets reached the AFL postseason for the first time and then beat the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, the first win by an AFL side over an NFL opponent in that title game. They have not been back to the Super Bowl since, so they went one for one.
