Welcome to the official event information page for the
THREE PIECE SUIT FOOTBALL CHARITY FESTIVAL
featuring the TPSF Boston 2022 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 9th year, this unique event — featuring sharp-dressed men & women playing full-contact tackle football — has grown from a scrappy game at Hunnewell Park with ten spectators into the centerpiece of a festival, serving as a fundraiser for veteran and animal charities.
For the seventh year in a row, the event will support Operation Delta Dog (OpDD), a charity organization which rescues and trains sheltered dogs to pair them with local military veterans suffering from PTSD or TBIs. Since 2014, TPSF events in Boston have raised over $70,000 to support military veterans and rescue dog charities.
Here’s how we’ll raise monetary support for local Veteran and Animal Charities:
- VIP Sponsorship Tents – TPSF will raise money through VIP Sponsorship Tent sales ($1,000/tent). There are only 10 slots available! The purchase of a VIP Sponsorship ticket will include: Private VIP Sponsor Tent (up to 10 people) with an optional logo and tent access (up to 10 people), TPSF Charity Festival food/drink tickets for beer/wine/food, complementary TPSF merchandise and exclusive access to portable toilets. All direct proceeds from VIP Pass sales go to OpDD!.
- Direct Donations – Operation Delta Dog will be in attendance at the TPSF Boston Festival, so be sure to stop by their table and say hello! While you’re learning about their mission, you can purchase OpDD swag, or simply make a donation to their organization.
- “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 at the end 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 our charities! So buy your raffle tickets right HERE, right now.

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 Boston event has grown from a small game, played in Piedmont Park in the fall (October), into the Festival that it is today – with live music, local craft beer sponsors and food! For the 7th year the event will be held at the Rogers Park in Newton.
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!

Q.5 – Wait, so can I actually play in the Football Game?
Maybe. The rosters are set in advance, and there are specific requirements for players. At this time we may still have some spots.

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. Besides, we’ll have plenty of TPSF merchandise available for sale at the event, so you can rep TPSF that way.
