biggest night of football is almost here. As stock up for your big game party, you may want to remember to drive a little safer.

A new study from the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI), the rate of collision claims of postal codes around NFL stadiums is higher on the day for the losses of the team house or links.

HLDI analysts examined the collision claims for postal codes in which the 31 NFL stadiums are located, and adjacent zip codes. frequency claim was higher day home game compared to other days. The effect was particularly pronounced in postcodes where the stages are located, but it was also present in the surrounding zip codes.

in data claims HLDI, postal codes reflect the vehicle garage location, not the location of the accident. So, accidents involving vehicles of people who live elsewhere and pushed in the postal code for the game are not included. In addition, some vehicle accidents stored near the stadium would have occurred elsewhere.

However, the reason for the increase in claims frequency on the days of home game is probably related to higher traffic volumes around stadiums on those days.

The days when the home team won, the collision rate requests was 3.2 percent more than on days without home game. On days when the team lost or tied, the claim rate was 9.4 percent more than on days without home game. Only the increase of a loss or tie was statistically significant.

"The effect of a day of play was much more pronounced at some stages than others," said the vice president HLDI Matt Moore. "This may indicate differences in police strategies and traffic management, which could present opportunities for improvement."
