The Dallas Stars will honor Mexican American heritage during their Noche Mexicana celebration on Tuesday, March 10, at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. In collaboration with Ford and North Texas Ford Dealers, the club will offer early arriving fans the chance to receive a cobranded Futbol jersey, adding a unique touch to this annual event against the Vegas Golden Knights. This marks the fifth consecutive year the Stars have spotlighted Mexican American culture through this special game night.
Pregame Festivities Highlight Local Cuisine and Cultural Performances
Starting at 5 p.m. on PNC Plaza, the festivities will begin with a pregame celebration featuring Oak Cliff’s renowned food truck and taqueria, Tacos La Gloria. Fans will also enjoy live performances by Monica Saldivar, a six-time Tejano Music Award-winning vocalist from Grand Prairie, and México 2000 Ballet Folklórico, a Dallas-area dance company known for preserving traditional Mexican dance since 1997. Monica Saldivar will additionally perform the National Anthem before the game, while México 2000 Ballet Folklórico will entertain fans during in-game intermissions.
Limited-Edition Jerseys and Fundraising Opportunities Available
