Hey all you sports fans, what’s better than enjoying a well-stocked tailgate, piling into a stadium, hearing the crowd roar, and watching your favorite team bring home a W? How ‘bout doing all that, plus going boating? Yes, it’s possible—and yes, it’s easier than you think.

The term “boatgating” has actually been used as a nickname for a tailgate on the water. Basically how it works is if your favorite team’s stadium happens to be on the water, you can move your tailgate from the parking lot to the docks.

That being said, we’ve pulled together a list of the best stadiums on the water, from the NFL to MLB and NCAA. Did your team’s home field make the list? Read on to find out…

And before you start planning your tailgate (or boatgate) menu, consider these useful ways that KnowWake can help you plan your next day at the ballpark:

1. Find public docks and marinas where you can tie up for the game.
2. Explore local dockside restaurants closeby to the stadium where you can pick up carry-out orders on the way to your tailgate.
3. If you’re commuting to the game with a boat in tow from out of the area, you can discover public boat ramps in the areas where you can launch.
4. Connect with your friends and fellow fans both on and off the water via our user messaging feature, and share saved spots so they know where the party’s at.
5. Noon game? Night game? Enjoy a morning or afternoon of boating either before or after the game. Find the best spots in the area for watersports, raft-ups, sandbars, fishing, snorkeling, and diving.
