31 Tailgates is based on the true story of twenty-something brothers Nate and Aaron Thompson who, with their friend Nolan Meyers, fulfill a life-long dream to visit all 31 NFL stadiums in one season as a tribute to their buddy Joe F. Lusk II, who was killed when his Army helicopter crashed during a training mission in Kuwait.  This poignant, comedic road movie follows the men as they party, fight, revel in the lack of responsibilities, grow up a little and, ultimately, discover that what they want most in life is what they left at home.

Allentown is proud to be partnered on this film with The Gotham Group, a leading entertainment management and production firm. Ellen Goldsmith-Vein will produce with The Gotham Group’s Head of Production Lee Stollman and Allentown's James Moll. Chris W. King, Allentown's director of development, who began pursuing the project after seeing a news segment, will serve as co-producer.
