Corona Beer Celebrates NFL Season With Lime Wedge Football Game

Corona is celebrating the National Football League’s return this week with NFL legend, Eli Manning, and the ultimate tailgate game.

Here’s the deal….

NFL Season kicks off this weekend and Corona has teamed up with Eli Manning to enhance the tailgate experience by creating a new game called Lime Wedge Football.

The limited-edition set is signed by Manning and features a table runner skinned to look like a football field on a beach and a fake lime wedge with laces on the rind.

Fans who aren’t ready to go pro with the limited-edition game can still play at home. All they need is a lime wedge and anything around the house or tailgate to serve as goal posts. This isn’t rocket science, Simply stand two objects next to each other to create field goal posts (they suggest to bottles of Corona)  and, from across the table, try to flick a lime wedge through the uprights for the big win.

And Corona’s new spot, showcasing Lime Wedge Football in all its glory, stars NFL legend Eli Manning, who’s just as funny as his brother.

“As an athlete, I’ve experienced the thrill of competition both on and off the field,” Manning said. “I’m excited to partner with Corona and bring Lime Wedge Football to tailgates everywhere so fans can enjoy the Fine Life together.”

Beer and NFL fans can purchase the limited-edition game while supplies last for only $10 (a nod to Manning’s jersey number) plus the cost of shipping HERE.

“Fans of the Fine Life can always find something to cheer for within every moment, even before the game begins. Take it from football great Eli Manning, who knows a thing or two about making a play both on and off the field,” said Rob Nelson, vice president, brand marketing at Corona added.

“Corona Lime Wedge Football is a great way to enhance your tailgate and embrace La Vida Más Fina as soon as game day starts.”
