Jaguars fans have ‘fifth-worst commute’

[thelakelander]

Interesting.....

Jacksonville Jaguars fans have the fifth-worst commute in the NFL on game day, according to a new report from TomTom, a company that sells GPS devices for cars.

The Jaguars play their regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos at EverBank Field on Sunday.

The Washington Redskins were the worst on the list with a 57 percent reduction in the normal pace of traffic on gamedays. The Oakland Raiders were the best on the list with a 10 percent improvement.

TomTom compared average traffic speeds on the immediate major roadways leading to and around the 32 NFL stadiums on gamedays with the average speeds on nongame days. The results were calculated using data from TomTom users.

The top 10 worst traffic teams on NFL gameday:

1. Washington Redskins
2. New England Patriots
3. Buffalo Bills
4. Dallas Cowboys
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
6. Carolina Panthers
7. Miami Dolphins
8. Tennessee Titans
9. Green Bay Packers
10. Atlanta Falcons

Well everybody must fly in and out of their stadium because getting in and out of Everbank Field always seems pretty quick to me...but I don't use a TomTom, so maybe my directions are better! LOL
(That New York isn't on there makes this "report" a bit dubious...or do they just know where they're going, so they don't use GPS?)

Not sure where this survey came from, but they havent actually driven or ridden to the games but I think the list is a bit more than dubious. I call shenanigans.  Its a breeze getting in and out of the gator bowl.  Just ride the buses.
actually after reading this more closely its obvious why we made the list.

"The Washington Redskins were the worst on the list with a 57 percent reduction in the normal pace of traffic on gamedays. The Oakland Raiders were the best on the list with a 10 percent improvement.

Its basd on the reduced normal pace of traffic on gameday.  Considering that there is normally no traffic at all on a sunday morning or sunday evening, other than the first baptist services.  The Jaguars would certainly create problems.

This is a bunch of BS. I've been to many games DT atlanta and there's no way we are ahead of them. This is BS.

Well, it may take the average person from Fleming Island or Ponte Vedra Beach a long time to get to the stadium b/c of how far away they are... but they sure as hell don't have a long wait to get out of the stadium parking lot and onto the freeway.  Jax consistently ranks at the top of the market in traffic flow into and out of the stadium.  I made it out of the stadium and to the Landing in about 8 minutes.  Now Im about go back into DT and Dos Gatos and enjoy the rest of my Sunday.  This is a seriously misleading stat... and TomTom SUCKS as a GPS.  I got one as a gift and literally threw it out.
