Welcome to the official event information page for the
THREE PIECE SUIT FOOTBALL CHARITY FESTIVAL
featuring the TPSF XIII Football Game!
One of the first questions we usually get is “What the heck is Three Piece Suit Football?” You’ll find the answer to this – plus all the event details – in the FAQ below. But as you scroll your way down the page, be sure to familiarize yourself with why we call this a Charity Festival.
Now in our 13th year, this unique event — featuring sharp-dressed men & women playing full-contact tackle football — has grown from a scrappy game in Piedmont Park with ten spectators into the centerpiece of a festival, serving as a fundraiser for veteran and animal charities.
For the sixth year in a row, the event will support the Atlanta chapter of Pets For Vets (PFV), who rescue and train shelter dogs and pair them with local military veterans who could benefit from a companion animal. Since 2012, TPSF events in Atlanta and Boston have raised over $170,000 to support military veterans and rescue dog charities.
Here’s how we’ll raise monetary support for local Veteran and Animal Charities:
- VIP Pass sales – Thanks to generous donations from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Reformation Brewery, and Atlanta Beverage (distributor of Bud Light), we’re able to direct proceeds from VIP Pass sales to Pets For Vets. So get yours NOW at eventbrite for the best price available!
- Direct Donations – Pets For Vets Atlanta will be out at the TPSF Festival, so be sure to stop by their table and say hello! While you’re learning about their mission, you can purchase PFV swag (such as a hoodie or drink koozie), or simply make a donation to their organization. And here’s a fun fact: The president of their board of directors will be on the field playing in his second TPSF game!
- “10 For a G!” Raffle – One lucky person will end the day as a $1000 prize winner. $10 gets you one entry in the drawing which will take place after the 3rd quarter of the football game, and you do not have to be present to win! Apart from the first 100 entry fees which generate the prize pot, every dollar goes directly to local veteran and animal causes! So buy your raffle tickets right HERE, right now.
- Alcoholic Drink Sales – Our generous beverage donators didn’t just supply us with libations for the VIP Pass holders, oh no. General drink sales will also provide fundraising for Pets For Vets! Even if you only enjoy a beer or two during the event, you will have contributed to the important work that Pets For Vets have dedicated themselves to.

Frequently Asked Questions / Event Details
Q.1 – What the heck is Three Piece Suit Football?
Three Piece Suit Football (TPSF) is an annual charity football game played in both Atlanta and Boston. This exciting game features men & women playing a hard-hitting game of full-contact tackle football while wearing three-piece suits! TPSF originated in Atlanta in 2009 and started a Boston Chapter in 2014 (click here for full TPSF history).
Our annual Atlanta event has grown from a small game, played in Piedmont Park on Super Bowl Sunday to celebrate the culmination of the football season, into the Festival that it is today – with live music, local craft beer sponsors, food trucks, a Frisbee dog halftime show, and continuing sponsorship by Tito’s Handmade Vodka! For the 6th year the event will be held at the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark athletic field, along Atlanta BeltLine’s Eastside Trail.
Of course, the centerpiece of the fun-for-all-ages event remains the legendary picture-worthy game of tackle football. The clash of unique and colorful suits as the players battle on the gridiron is a spectacle that will captivate all ages and have you reminiscing about the event long after it has ended.
Support for Veteran and Animal Charities will be raised during the event through VIP Ticket sales, direct donations, general alcoholic drink sales, and the “10 For a G!” raffle for your chance to win $1000!

You’d be surprised how often we get this question, and the answer is ‘no’. We love seeing our fans dressed to the nines, but it’s not a requirement at all! Wear whatever suits you best (see what we did there?) and allows you to have a great time.
