Traffic data tracked how long commutes were to Braves game

Navigation app: Average time was just under 26 minutes for first games.

The Braves, who have touted their partnership with navigation app Waze for some time, announced in a news release that Waze has come up with some nuggets of data giving insight into how long it took some drivers on opening weekend to get to the game.

Waze crunched some numbers from the 33,447 drivers who used the app getting to SunTrust Park the weekend of April 14-16.

It found the average commute time was just under 26 minutes.

The average distance for those drivers was a hair above 17½ miles. For reference, Google says it is a 14½-mile drive to SunTrust Park from Turner Field on I-75.

A total of 120,000 folks made it to the games that weekend.

Braves officials in the past have said while discussing traffic that using Waze is one of the best choices for getting to the game because the app will send you to the correct parking lot if you’ve bought your parking pass ahead of time.

As a bonus, the Braves released some statistics on the amount of mobile data used that weekend.

A total of 21,129 devices connected to the stadium’s free Wi-Fi in that time, according to Comcast data. At one point, there were about 8,000 users on the network.

Folks on the opening night of SunTrust Park used 3.4 terabytes.

As a comparison: According to AT&T data cited in the news release, Chicago Cubs fans used 1.4 terabytes on opening night when their World Series banner was raised.
