The Jacksonville Jaguars were recognized on May 4, 2016 for winning the 2015 Bud Light Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge against the Indianapolis Colts. Representatives from the Jaguars, Anheuser-Busch and TEAM Coalition gathered for the celebration.

The Bud Light Good Sport Designated Driver Challenge tracked the number of fans who pledged to be designated drivers at all 2015 regular season home games for both teams. Each fan who pledged to be a designated driver at EverBank Field earned the Jaguars 6 points in the challenge. Fans also had the opportunity to show support of their team’s responsibility efforts on social media to earn additional points. The Jaguars finished with 5,761 points compared to the Colts 4,112.

The Jaguars, their food and beverage provider, S.A.F.E. Management and Anheuser-Busch have been working together successfully for the Bud Light Good Sport designated driver program for several seasons. This was their second consecutive win versus the Colts.

The Bud Light Good Sport designated driver program is just one component of the fan behavior initiatives offered by the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field. Other components include:

A Fan Code of Conduct posted in and around EverBank Field
Certification of more than 90% of all employees in effective alcohol management training
Alcohol service policies including ID checks for all fans, no more than two alcoholic beverages per person per transaction and alcohol cut-off at the end of the third quarter
