Pearl Jam fan invents new tailgating game

msilva31

Guys

I have been in the fan club since 1994 after I saw my first show at the Paramount Theater at MSG. I have been to a ton of shows and have been a die hard fan since the beginning. Having said that I recently created a tailgating game that I wanted to share with the Jamily and something fun to play at tailgates before shows, at the beach or even in your backyard. Check out the video below and let me know what you think. I know some people will be mad that I am posting this but this is my first shot at being an entrepreneur and PJ has been such a huge influence in my life from the music to the many cool people that I have met, so I thought this would be cool to share. My website is www.playQB54.com.

I'll give you $49.99 shipped.

Horse I would love to but I need to make some money, so I can put it back into the business to help grow. At that price point, I will lose money. I appreciate the offer but unfortunately I can't do it. The game is a ton of fun and in my opinion and others, better than corn hole.

This isn't the place to try to make profit. You'll get scolded publicly. *Tongue firmly in cheek*

At the very least, file for a patent.

Cool idea. Solve uprights falling out and chair tipping over. Print money.

Hey guys its patented and trade marked. Thanks for the feedback. We've been tailgating across the country and people are loving it. Makes a great gift, check out these videos. Regarding the tipping over, on grass you can spike the front legs into the ground, on pavement, we were thinking of small sandbags for the front legs.

I like the newspaper article like headline for this thread. I thought it was a link to a New York Times article. Nice job OP!

that's pretty damn awesome!!!

would be huge if you could obtain licensing from NFL & NCAA.

msilva31

Headed to the Sports Licensing and Tailgating Show in Vegas Jan 17-19 2017. Next week. That is the goal. If anyone is going to be there, we are in the tailgating section booth 4181. Come check us out!

We need to encourage more threads with these type of headings...

The first heading would be interesting because that person would be in their 50's (med school graduate)

How would you have titled the Heading?

If you're going to sell something then go all the way with it. No half measures.

Basically you are taking a ball and throwing it into a net or some sort of container. The second part is kicking s ball between two posts. Not sure what makes this product special. At work we have a waste basket into which we throw crumpled sheets of recycled paper as we pretend to hit a three pointer.

Imagine how much money you would make if you somehow created a miniature basketball hoop to attach to the waste basket!... Back off, I thought of it first!

Jeez, rough crowd. What makes it special is that it's unique in form and execution. It's multipurpose as it's a fun game and, when you want to relax, you have a seat. OP has targeted a specific market with a new product & idea, and it's been met with great response from said market. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

You mean something like this?

hsohi

Woah.... awesome....Patent it!

msilva31

Hsohi - I appreciate your feedback. I might be assuming that you like football or perhaps tailgate at shows. Everyone has a cornhole set or perhaps ladder golf, and even Kan Jam. All of which are cool games. We wanted to bring a football based game to the market where one simply doesn't exist. You can throw a football around but we wanted people to throw with a purpose, and I don't know of any game that involves kicking the actual ball. You should try the game out, its a ton of fun.
can you do this with a crumpled piece of paper?

F Me In The Brain

I think this is pretty awesome and the only concern I might have is when people kick the ball and it goes places other than they intend it to. (Same with throwing although that would be way easier to control.)
Agree this looks much better than cornhole.
Good luck!

Perhaps incorporate drinking rules into some of the videos, help those pong players relate as well as the cornhole players.
