New stadium. New parking. One map. Tailgait puts Bills game-day parking and tailgates around the new Highmark Stadium on one map. Prices sit right on the pins, so you can read the whole neighborhood without tapping a thing. THE MAP Every parking lot is a price pin, and the pin tells you where the number came from. A blue price is the owner's own. A white pin is a price a fan checked at the sign. A gray pin is our estimate. Tap any pin for a photo, the street, the price, and a walk time to the nearest stadium gate. Switch to Hybrid to see the neighborhood from above, with lot lines drawn on the ground and house numbers on the street. TAILGATES Tailgates get their own red pins: $ for one that charges, B for bring-your-own. The map opens on the next home game and shows the tailgates set up for it. Tap one for the cost, how to reach the host, and directions. Filter to tailgates only when that's what you're after. FILTERS Search by lot name or street. Narrow by price, by type (house, lot, or business), by restroom (indoor or porta pot), and by walk time to the stadium. Open Filters for ground surface, vehicle sizes from a standard car to a Class A RV, and owners who take calls or texts. Clear all puts everything back. LOT DETAILS Photos, property type, ground surface, bathrooms, suggested arrival times for a 1 PM and an 8:15 game, and the walk to the nearest gate. Prices by vehicle size when the owner set them. Contact owner shows the phone number an owner agreed to share. Directions hands the lot to your maps app. SHARE MY SPOT Parked and waiting on friends? Share my spot texts them a link to exactly where you are. It stays live for four hours, or until you tap Stop. ADD TO THE MAP See a lot that isn't on here? Submit it. A photo and an address is enough. Hosting a tailgate? Put it on the map, say whether it's paid or BYOB, and let fans find you. Something changed? Suggest an update. A person reviews every submission before anything goes live. SIGN IN Sign in with Apple or Google. No passwords. Free for fans - no booking fees, you pay the owner directly. YOUR LOCATION The map can center on where you are. That read stays on your phone. Your location is sent only when you tap Use my location in a form, or Share my spot. Crowdsourced by the Mafia, for the Mafia. Tailgait LLC is not affiliated with the Buffalo Bills or the NFL. Go Bills.
