Originally known as the Houston Oilers, the team was founded in 1959 by Bud Adams (who remained the owner until his death in 2001) and began playing in 1960 in Houston, Texas, as a founding member of the American Football League (AFL). Like the Houston Oilers, the Tennessee Titans ranked first in the same division as the Buffalo Bills in the AFL days, but were moved to the AFC Central Division after the NFL-AFL merger. In 1997, the Oilers moved to Nashville, Tennessee, but played at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis for one season while waiting for a new stadium to be built. They always wore the blue Titans jersey in their annual division game against the Houston Texans and in other home-selected games, mostly against a team from the former AFL (American Football League).
T-Rac is the Titans' mascot raccoon and debuted in the team's first preseason game at home in August 1999 against the Atlanta Falcons.
