Florida’s most iconic patriot and viral legend, Lane Pittman, is bringing the storm to the tailgate this weekend as he officially drafts for Team Duval (Team Storm Surge) ahead of The Florida Man Games 2026.
The drafting event will take place at the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Jets tailgates, where fans will have a once-in-a-lifetime shot to prove their Florida Man credentials and “go pro” as official competitors representing Jacksonville at the next round of The Florida Man Games, scheduled for February 21, 2026, at the Freedom Factory in Bradenton, FL.
The Challenge: Do You Have What It Takes to Go Pro?
Tailgaters who dare to step up to Pittman’s recruiting station will face a hilarious—and slightly unhinged—series of Florida-Man-style tests and quizzes, ranging from trivia about Florida’s wildest headlines to offbeat challenges designed to separate the wannabes from the true Duval legends. Those who pass Pittman’s trials earn a chance to be drafted into Team Storm Surge, representing Jacksonville in the Games’ most outrageous events—including the infamous Evading Arrest Obstacle Course, where competitors dodge real cops while clutching catalytic converters.
