The Tennessee Titans have plenty to worry about after tying the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the worst record in the NFL last season at 2-14. But after nabbing Marcus Mariota as their future quarterback with the No. 2 overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Titans have one less thing to worry about, with Mariota’s upside putting the Titans in their best position in years.
Another factor the Titans don’t have to worry about is difficult travel in the upcoming season. According to an article produced by CBSSports.com, the Titans rank 29th out of 32 teams when it comes to estimated travel miles this season with 9,312. Only the Indianapolis Colts, Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles will travel less than Tennessee in ‘15.
Travel options and ticket prices are important factors when deciding to watch a favorite team play on the road. With secondary market Tennessee Titans ticket information provided by TiqIQ.com, and travel options from Hipmunk.com, below are a few choices for Titans road trips for the upcoming season.
12/20/2015 | New England Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans | Gillette Stadium | Average Price: $263.43 | Get-in Price: $110
Unless driving nearly 17 hours for over 1,100 miles is an option for Tennessee Titans fans, flying to Boston will be the best option to get to Foxboro. Through Hipmunk, round trip Boston flights cost around $420 and will take about two-and-a-half hours for a nonstop flight. Mariota is getting his first look at what a Super Bowl team looks like when he faces Tom Brady near the end of his rookie campaign.
11/8/2015 | New Orleans Saints vs. Tennessee Titans | Mercedes-Benz Superdome | Average Price: $178.63 | Get-in Price: $51
A Louisiana road trip is feasible, as Nashville to New Orleans has about 530 miles in-between them, costing about eight hours on the road. That commute would certainly make the New Orleans cuisine a little better. New Orleans flights through Hipmunk cost around $300 and only take about an hour-and-a-half for those wanting a shorter trip.
11/1/2015 | Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans | NRG Stadium | Average Price: $174.53 | Get-in Price: $49
Houston is in-between the first two options, taking around 12 hours by car for the nearly 800-mile trip. The two-hour flight will save time but will cost around $310 for a round trip. Mariota will go against the 2014 NFL Defensive MVP J.J. Watt and a nasty Houston defense.
