Grand Stand Entrance

For Grand Stand seats, please enter at all other standard ballpark entrances, located on Washington Street and Swan Street. Do not enter through the field entrance or Consumer's Pub at the Park.

Security will be visible and available through the facility and on the field. Guest Services will be open as well, and is located on the third base side of the ballpark near section 111.

A paramedic unit is on duty at the Emergency Medical Service station. The ballpark is also equipped with an advanced life support apparatus. Medical help is available on the field. Please, again, inform a security officer or staff member immediately if you need assistance. Ambulance service is provided at the user's expense.

PARKING

Please be advised that we have no control over the cost of parking anywhere in the city of Buffalo or beyond. Sahlen Field and the Buffalo Bisons also have no control over this. The lots around the stadium are mostly privately owned lots that set their own prices, rules, and policies. We can not and do not control what they charge for parking.

There are multiple parking lots around Sahlen Field and in downtown Buffalo within a short walking distance of the facility. Other options include carpooling, using ride-share services, and taking the Metrorail to the show.

There are also a limited number of accessible parking spaces in the ballpark parking lot at 64 Exchange St. The reserved spaces are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Street parking in the City of Buffalo is free after 5 pm and free on weekends, where posted. However, be sure to pay attention and read the nearby posted signs regarding the area where you are parking on the street.

Tailgating

Like most people in WNY, we love a good tailgate!

Tailgating is very common in the parking lots outside of the ballpark before the show. In fact, many of the 106.5 WYRK on-air hosts visit them throughout the day.

Please be advised that, once again, we do not control any of the parking lots around the stadium, let alone anywhere else. All tailgating will be subject to the parking lot owner's rules and policies.

Taste of Country Official T-Shirts

The official 2025 TOC T-shirt is ONLY available inside Sahlen Field during the show.

The Official TOC Shirts are cash only, $30 per shirt (same price as last year). Canadian money will be accepted at par. ATMs are available throughout the ballpark.

As always, this year's shirt will be a new design unique to previous years.

There are 4 official TOC t-shirt locations: 2 in the concourse, 1 on the field, and one for Super Field ticket holders.

The official T-shirts sell out fast, so get yours as soon as you enter the ballpark. Do not wait, as your preferred size could be gone.
