New York Jets Tickets

New York Jets information, The New York Jets were founded in 1960 as a member of the now defunct American Football League. Originally named the Titans, they officially became the Jets in 1963 when the team changed ownership. The team currently shares Giant Stadium as their home field but along with the NY Giants, will be moving to The Meadowlands Stadium in 2010, which is currently under construction.

The earliest significant achievement for the Jets came in Super Bowl III, when the Jets upset the heavily favored NFL team, the Colts. The Jets win over the Colts not only solidified their reputation but also the reputation of the AFL as a whole. All of this would have been very difficult without the help of the Jets very charismatic and talented Quarterback, Joe Namath. "Broadway Joe", as he came to be known in New York, guaranteed a victory for the Jets in Super Bowl III. The Jets have yet to return to the Super Bowl since their unlikely victory over the Colts in 1969.

After a disaster season in 2005 when they finished fourth in AFC East with a losing record of 4-12, the Jets hired new head coach, Eric Mangini, in 2006 in hopes that he can lead them to playoff contention once again, which he did only to lose in the first round to the New England Patriots. The two teams made more headlines in the early weeks of the 2007 in a scandal that has since been referred to as “Spygate”. The Jets accused Patriots officials of taping defensive signals from an illegal area on the field and filed an official complaint with the NFL commissioner’s office regarding the issue.

Heading into the 2008 schedule, the Jets made one of the biggest off-season deals by acquiring future hall of fame QB, Brett Favre, in a trade that sent the Green Bay Packers a future 4th round draft pick. Favre will look to lead the Jets back to the playoffs, and for the first time, see what its like to play in the AFC.

The arrival of Brett Favre has certainly caused a stir in New York. The demand for New York Jets tickets is now on the rise. You can still get great Jets tickets however. Just check out our extensive online inventory for all your Jets needs.
