The New York Jets were founded in 1959 as the New York Titans and took the name Jets in 1963. Led by Joe Namath, the club won Super Bowl III following the 1968 season — the franchise’s only championship to date.

The “J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!” chant began in the 1970s at Shea Stadium, when two fans named Larry Mack and Don Schaeffer started spelling it out from opposite sides of the upper deck. Since 1986, a superfan nicknamed “Fireman Ed” has become the iconic figure leading the chant.

💡 Insider Tips
🚌 Getting There
MetLife Stadium is best reached by NJ Transit. From New York Penn Station, transfer at Secaucus Junction to the game-day-only Meadowlands Rail Service, which drops you right at the stadium’s main gate (the HCL Tech Gate) (round trip $11 from NYC, $4.50 from Secaucus). Trains run starting 3.5 hours before kickoff.
🏨 Where to Stay
The stadium is in East Rutherford, New Jersey, about 13km west of Manhattan. Staying in Manhattan and taking the train round-trip is the simplest option, while hotels in Secaucus sit closer to the stadium and often include free parking.

🎁 Club Perks

💡 Insider Tips
The Jets and Giants share the same stadium, so double-check which team’s game you’re buying tickets for. Without a pre-purchased pass, your only option is the cash lot at 20 Murray Hill Road north of the stadium (around $55), so public transit is far simpler.
