Why Cornhole Is the Real MVP of Football Tailgates

Plus: Pro Tailgating Tips to Win Game Day

Let’s set the scene: it’s a crisp fall Saturday (or Sunday), the grill’s hot, the drinks are cold, and the parking lot is alive with pre-game energy. The only thing missing? A perfectly placed cornhole board and a bag in your hand.

Cornhole is more than just a tailgate game — it’s the unofficial pregame warmup for fans of all ages. And if you’re not playing it before kickoff, you’re missing out on half the fun.

Here’s why a cornhole set from CustomCornhole.com is the ultimate tailgate companion — and how to elevate your game day with style (and accuracy).

1. Cornhole + Football = America’s Favorite Combo

Just like chips and queso or yelling at refs through your TV, cornhole and football go hand in hand.
Check out our ? NFL-themed cornhole boards — designed for fans who want to toss bags like they toss around bold takes on 3rd down play calls.

Even better? Rep your alma mater or current obsession with our officially licensed NCAA cornhole sets. Yes, you can play cornhole with your school logo on the board.

2. Tailgate Setup Is a Breeze (Thanks to The Regulator)

Forget the tape measure, the 27 paces, or arguing over "is that close enough?"
With The Cornhole Regulator, your boards are spaced perfectly — every single time. It self-retracts, stays hidden, and avoids all gameplay interference (including that dangerously low airmail toss from your uncle after his second beer).

3. Custom Boards + Themed Bags = Style Points

Cornhole isn't just a game — it's a vibe. Make your setup look just as good as it plays. Our football-themed cornhole bags are the perfect way to match your game to your team spirit.

Want your boards fully customized? We got you. Want your bags to look like pigskins? Also got you.

4. Cornhole: The Official One-Handed Tailgate Sport

You can play with a drink in one hand, a brat in the other, and still talk trash mid-throw. Try that with a football. (Actually, don’t. Your dip will end up on someone’s windshield.)

Bonus: 5 Pro Tailgating Tips from the Pros at Custom Cornhole

  1. Arrive early — Good spots go fast. And more time = more throws.

  2. Bring shade — Pop-up tents save lives (and phone batteries).

  3. Preload your playlist — No one wants to tailgate to silence or last year’s wedding mix.

  4. Pack extra bags — Someone will lose one behind the tire of a truck.

  5. Hydrate (yes, really) — Cornhole greatness requires focus and a functioning brain.
