BuddySOS for sporting events
From parking lot to seats to the after-party. Keep the group together.
What it is
BuddySOS tracks a group through tailgate, gate, seats, and the walk back to the car, covering NFL games, college football, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA tournament weekends. Each member shows up as a live GPS pin, and anyone can fire a one-tap SOS.
Sporting events scatter groups across parking lots, tailgate zones, multiple gates, and tens of thousands of seats. Put the group on one shared map and you stop losing half of it at the tailgate and the other half at the wrong entrance.
Why standard apps fall short here
- Tailgates spread across acres of parking lot, and it is easy to lose someone in that space.
- Stadiums have multiple gates and section letters that do not map intuitively.
- Post-game crowds make 'meet at the car' impossible without GPS.
- Texting gets buried in scoreboard updates and reactions.
What BuddySOS gives you
- Track each member's position on the live map from the tailgate through the stadium gates.
- Fire a one-tap SOS for a medical situation or anyone who gets separated in a tense post-game crowd.
- Location keeps updating after the final whistle, so the walk back to the car happens together.
- The map stays visible to your group only.

Questions about using BuddySOS at sporting events
Can BuddySOS help us find each other at a tailgate?
Yes. Once everyone in the group has the app open and location sharing on, the group sees each member as a live pin on the map. After the game, the same map gets you back to the car or the meet-up bar.
Will BuddySOS work inside a stadium?
BuddySOS works anywhere you have a data connection or stadium Wi-Fi. For sections of a venue with weak signal, pair the app with a clear meeting plan (section, row, and a post-game meet-up spot) so the group has a low-tech backup.
