Detroit Tigers fans have been identified as the least likely to face game day traffic. Is this positive or negative? It depends on your perspective. If sitting in traffic is unbearable for you, this is great news! However, it might also reflect on the current state of our team. Learn more about this new study below.
Detroit Tigers Fans Least Likely to Encounter Game Day Traffic
Being at the top isn’t always favorable. While being number one on a list of the best baseball fans would be fantastic, leading the list of MLB fans least likely to encounter game day traffic isn’t necessarily a cause for celebration—unless you have post-game plans.
FlashPicks conducted a study to identify the most disliked stadium in Major League Baseball, evaluating teams and stadiums based on 10 factors, including beer prices, parking costs, average attendance, weather, records, and more. Traffic density around MLB stadiums on game day was a key factor in their research, catching the attention of Detroit Sports Fans.
FlashPicks found that Detroit Tigers fans are the least likely to face traffic on game day compared to other MLB teams. How did this happen? Some fans recall significant traffic when the Tigers were serious World Series contenders back in 2014. Today, things are different. FlashPicks reports that Comerica Park has the lowest speed score (0/5), meaning the average car speeds near the stadium on game day are the highest. This indicates that cars are moving at normal speeds without needing to stop or slow down. Additionally, Comerica Park scored the joint-lowest for congestion (1.2/10), according to FlashPicks. This is unlikely due to superior city infrastructure.
It’s a Catch-22. You want a strong baseball team but also no traffic after the game. Traffic can be highly frustrating, but a slight delay might be acceptable if it means having a great team. FlashPicks notes that the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers experience the most traffic on game day.
Have you noticed the lack of traffic around Comerica Park? Do you appreciate the smooth game day traffic or are you hoping for a change?
