We’ve pulled together our starting line-up of Bing features that help serious fans prep for their gridiron traditions and simplify their game-day decisions. Read here to learn more about what Bing offers football fans – including player comparisons and stats, sports trivia, taxi fare calculator, weather, recipes, local restaurants and bars, parking lot finders and more.
Bing Events
If you’re searching for football tickets, you can now compare tickets from over fifty leading tickets sites, check out the view from the seat and quickly find the best value in Bing.
You can see ticket selection and price ranges at a glance, and zoom into a row- level view to check out offers from multiple providers. The “Best Value" feature, quickly highlights tickets that are priced significantly lower than surrounding seats. If you want to confirm you’re getting a good ticket, use the "view-from-seat" feature to see the vantage.
Bing Instant Answers
Quick – you’ve got skin in the game! How many Heisman Trophy winners also won Super Bowl MVP awards? Who is the NFL career leader in kickoff returns for touchdowns?
Football fans take pride in their knowledge of the game and its history, but sometimes even a super fan can be stumped. Bing Instant Answers gives you the ability to quickly and accurately find answers without sifting through link after link. So while you may not know the answers to these questions off the top of your head, you’ll be able to find them in the time it takes your rival to grab a refill.

Bing Sports Compare
Your fantasy team’s quarterback was a game-day scratch, and you find out while manning the grill. What do you do? With Bing Sports Compare fans can do a direct, side-by-side comparison of any two players in the league. Search “Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning” and player profiles, photos and stats pop up side-by-side for easy compare and contrast.
Take the Smarter Route
Just like on the gridiron, well-planned and well-timed game day routes can often be all that separate the Great from the Mediocre. Bing Maps provides simple directions to the game as well as satellite images, Bird’s eye views, street views and 3D views to help you locate exactly where you want to go; perfect for the tailgater deciding on the best parking lot for their pre-game party.
Don’t Get Caught Unprepared
Taxi Fare Calculator can tell you exactly how much cash you need to reserve for the cab ride home and how many trips to the bar you can still afford. And the Bing Weather App can help you make the call between full-on, logo’d outerwear or body paint with team jersey.
Bing Recipes
Whether you opt for the more traditional fare of burgers, brats and steaks or decide to go more adventurous for your game day menu, Bing Recipes is a go-to for inspiration for tailgate chefs of all skill levels. With thousands of recipes from some of the world’s most accomplished chefs at your disposal, people will be coming back for seconds when you call upon Bing Recipes in the clutch.
Bing On-The-Go
A multitude of tailgating online search needs can be accomplished on-the-go through your mobile device. Fingers too greasy to type or other hand glued to a frosty beverage? Speak your search query directly into your mobile phone using Bing Voice Search. With Bing for Mobile available on a wide variety of phones, including the new Windows Phone 7, hard-core tailgaters can easily find driving directions, traffic reports, game scores, weather reports, and even suggestions for the cheapest place near you or the football stadium to buy gas.
No Ticket? No Problem!
