BuddySOS for sporting events
From parking lot to seats to the after-party. Keep the group together.
What it is
BuddySOS is a group safety and tracking app for sporting events including NFL games, college football, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NCAA tournament weekends. Each group member sees a live GPS pin and can fire a one-tap SOS.
Sporting events scatter groups across parking lots, tailgate zones, multiple gates, and tens of thousands of seats. A BuddySOS group sits on one shared map so you do not lose half your group at the tailgate and the other half at the wrong entrance.
Why standard apps fall short here
- Tailgates spread across acres of parking lot. Easy to lose someone.
- 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
- See each member's position on the live map during the tailgate and inside the stadium.
- One-tap SOS for medical situations or anyone separated in a tense post-game crowd.
- Live location keeps updating after the game, so the group walks back to the car together.
- Private by default. The map is 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.
Free for groups. Forever.
BuddySOS is free on iOS and Android. Download it tonight, be ready for your next event by the weekend.
