Bring a teddy bear to toss on the field

[Moobs]

I’ve only seen this 1 post on Facebook about doing a teddy bear toss at halftime. The department has done an awful job of trying to communicate this and it could be a really cool annual thing. 
if you haven’t seen this done before, just search “teddy bear toss” on YouTube and you’ll see the potential this has if communicated properly.

Thanks for posting this. I saw it one time earlier this week but couldn’t remember where.  Those were my thoughts as well. How is anyone supposed to know about this if not advertised more?

Our tailgate is bringing teddy bears for the toss. Thanks @Ian Campbell for the heads up.

Do you have to bring them in via a clear plastic purse?

What could possibly go wrong?

Maybe if you bring a big enough one.....the team could keep it, and use it as a tackling dummy.

Maybe they could place it on the line of scrimmage and use it for a defense.

or...glass half-full...what if we have our own "Angels in the Outfield" scenario and some kid takes his teddy bear and throws an absolute dart corner-route from mid-way up section 128 and we find our starting QB for the next three years??

Guarantee that kid gets an NIL offer for a larger teddy bear immediately after

Sadly, the teddy bear will probably enter the portal...

You can tell who does and doesn't visit the official website.  You would.....

How do they expect things to be successful when they don't even take the time to put it on their webpage and don't market the program?

You're sorta conflating two early 90's kids baseball movies: Rookie of the Year is where they find Rowengardner with a great arm because of the way his break healed. The angels did do miraculous things to help them win, but only Joseph Gordon Levitt can see them.

Oh duh. And the Emilio Estevez puts the PF Fliers on a Golden Retriever and the Georgia Peaches win the league, right?

Right after Kevin Costner inherited the Twins from his grandfather and signed Steve Nebraska.

WILD THING!!

I don't know.  This just seems to have possible issues.

People in sections 2xx or the wing are expected to get soft animals thrown all the way to the field.
They're gonna' be bombing everybody (all 300 of them) in section 1xx. 
I guess they then re-throw them to the sideline.  (Now picture cheerleaders wiping off nacho cheese and wringing beer/coke out of all the lovely bears.)

Optionally, those in the upper levels could insert a weight into the toys to make them go farther (maybe a battery??).  That outta' help (anybody from Philly in the house??!?!). 

Of course, there are MUCH worse ways it could go:

 

Finally, I hope this gets some nice toys to many kids but I really wish it would have been marketed better.
