McAllen International Airport, the South Texas Airport of the Dallas Cowboys, kicked off the football season last week with a Meet and Greet with Michael Irvin, the Dallas Cowboys legend and NFL Hall of Famer. During the event, Irvin announced to fans that he will be appearing at the 10th anniversary of the McAllen Holiday Parade.
“When you’re on a team, you’re part of a family that fights for the teammate next to you. And that’s what I see here in McAllen, a great big FAMILY that works together and gets things done!” said Irvin. “And you do it for each other, your parents, and your kids! I love that! And that is why this is Cowboys country.”
The event also featured an open autograph session with Cowboys legend Tony Hill.
McAllen International Airport also announced the return of their Skybox Fan Experience to the 10th anniversary of the McAllen Holiday Parade presented by H-E-B and powered by Bert Ogden Auto Group. The Skybox Fan Experience will feature the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, a special host, live DJ, Dallas Cowboys t-shirts for all, an illuminated LED stage and special giveaways.
“McAllen International Airport’s partnership with the Dallas Cowboys has allowed us to create an extra special opportunity at the McAllen Holiday Parade for the second year, the Skybox Fan Experience,” said Elizabeth Suarez of the City of McAllen.
“We are grateful to our city team, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who makes the McAllen Holiday Parade possible for thousands of families each year,” said McAllen City Manager Roel “Roy” Rodriguez. “We personally invite all of our loyal Cowboy fans to this year’s McAllen International Airport Skybox fan experience.”
