About Buffalo Tailgates
Founding Partner Opportunity
ABOUT BUFFALO TAILGATES
Buffalo Tailgates is the only dedicated all-inclusive tailgate experience in Western New York. We operate a custom shipping container bar permanently positioned at 3892 Southwestern Blvd in Orchard Park — a short walk from Highmark Stadium — from August through the end of the Bills season.
Every home game, we host hundreds of passionate Bills fans in a fully heated venue, featuring full food and bar service and sound system and tv. This isn't a pop-up tent. It's a landmark.
What we offer guests:
- Heated structures — we run in all weather, because this is Buffalo
- Full food and bar service, all-inclusive
- Sound system and tv's featuring other games
- Private and ticketed event options
- A game-day experience unlike anything else in the area
BECOME A FOUNDING PARTNER
We're offering a limited number of brands the opportunity to come in as Founding Partners for our inaugural season — at rates that will not be available in year two.
Founding partners receive:
- Preferred inaugural season pricing — roughly half of standard year two rates
- First right of renewal before we open sponsorships to the general market
- Your brand associated with Buffalo's newest and most talked-about game-day destination
- A permanent place in the Bills Mafia conversation from day one
Sponsorship options include naming rights, branded bar and food stations, container exterior signage, event signage, PA announcements, social media features, product sampling and pouring rights, and complimentary tickets. Cash and in-kind packages are both available. Custom combinations are encouraged.
Founding partner spots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

YOUR BRAND AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL
LOCATION & TRAFFIC
The tailgate can be found at 3892 Southwestern Blvd near one of the busiest intersections in Orchard Park — directly in the path of every fan heading to Highmark Stadium. The numbers speak for themselves.
Stat 1:
19,500 – 22,500 Vehicles pass our location every single day, based on NYSDOT traffic count data from stations bracketing our location on Southwestern Blvd.
Stat 2:
7,000,000+ Annual vehicle impressions from our location alone — before a single game day is counted. Sponsor branding on our container operates like a high-value billboard at a fraction of the cost.
Stat 3:
20,000 – 27,000+ Pedestrians walk past our venue on every Bills home game day as fans funnel from the neighborhood into Highmark Stadium's 67,000-seat venue.
Stat 4:
500,000+ Fan visits flow through this corridor every season. The Town of Orchard Park has committed $120,000 in federal funding specifically to study pedestrian traffic in this area — confirming its significance.
Stat 5:
5 Months Our shipping container is in place from August through the end of the season — delivering impressions 7 days a week, not just on game days.
Vehicle traffic estimates based on NYSDOT AADT count stations on Southwestern Blvd segments bracketing our location. Pedestrian estimates derived from stadium capacity and corridor usage patterns.
