A guide outlines football stadiums where supporters can travel to games by boat, a practice known as “sailgating”, to avoid road traffic and combine pre-match socialising with waterfront access.

– Neyland Stadium, Tennessee: the original “Vol Navy” tradition began in 1962; over 200 boats commonly attend, with docks a 12–15 minute walk away.
– Husky Stadium, Washington: up to 3,400 spectators arrive via Union Bay, although dock spaces have a waiting list exceeding 100 boats.
– Soldier Field, Chicago: Burnham Harbor, five minutes away, has 1,126 slips and accommodates boats ranging from 28-foot vessels to large yachts.
– Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh: boaters gather along the North Shore; a marina two miles away provides shuttles, while a passenger boat offers another route.
– M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore: the Inner Harbor is under a mile away, with 135 marina slips for boats up to 300 feet.
– Huntington Bank Field, Cleveland: Oasis Marina is an eight-minute walk away and offers hourly or overnight berthing; charter-and-shuttle services are also available.
– McLane Stadium, Baylor: boats can dock at the stadium’s lagoon via the Brazos River, with nearby Baylor Basin used for post-game gatherings.
