<P> With the team for sale, two potential buyers were found in Cablevision and philanthropist Woody Johnson whose grandfather, Robert Wood Johnson II, expanded Johnson & Johnson . Johnson was unknown among the other NFL owners at the time of his $635 million purchase of the franchise . However, Johnson had a passion for sports according to former Knicks general manager Ernie Grunfeld and desired to own his own team . Johnson has been considered to be an enabler who wants the best from his employees . </P> <P> Much like Hess, Johnson left many of the football related decisions up to his management team and tended to avoid the spotlight . However, upon hiring head coach Rex Ryan, Johnson had an increased presence as he molded the Jets into his team . In 2017, Johnson was appointed by President Donald Trump as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom . Once his post was confirmed, his brother Christopher took over day - to - day operations for the team, including personnel decisions . </P> <P> Owner Harry Wismer sought out a place for the team to play their home games but was only able to secure the dilapidated Polo Grounds, which had not had a major tenant since the baseball New York Giants vacated the stadium in 1957 . The Titans played their first four seasons at the stadium--in the final season they were renamed the Jets . The Titans shared the stadium with baseball's new expansion team, the New York Mets, for two years before both teams moved to the Shea Stadium in Queens in 1964 . The Jets hold the distinction of being the final team to host a game at the Polo Grounds, a 19--10 loss to the Buffalo Bills on December 14, 1963 . </P> <P> Wismer hoped the Titans could play in what would become known as Shea Stadium beginning in 1961 . However, funding difficulties and legal problems delayed construction of the stadium . Wismer signed a memorandum of understanding in late 1961 to secure the Titans' new home . That memorandum recognized that the Mets would have exclusive use of the stadium until they had completed their season . As the team moved to Shea under new ownership, they were, in most years, required to open the season with several road games, a problem made worse in 1969 and 1973 when the Mets had long playoff runs . </P>
