The buzz around the Dallas Stars has been building all summer, and this year the excitement is spilling out of the arena and into a local watering hole.
On August 11, BoomerJack’s Grill in Fairview, just outside Allen, Texas, will transform into the hub of a fan‑focused celebration, headlined by Gavin Spittle, a longtime Stars enthusiast and regular podcast host.
A Night of Celebration
The evening kicks off with a meet‑and‑greet at 6:00 p.m., giving fans a chance to mingle before the live recording of Spittle’s podcast begins around 7:00 p.m.
In‑person guests include former Dallas Stars reporter Sean Shapiro, former team staffer Lia Assimakopoulos, Stephen Meserve, and Steve Hill of SportsToons, who will be on hand to chat with the crowd.
The event is free to attend, though organizers encourage guests to purchase drinks or food from the grill, and a selection of giveaways will be handed out, including tickets to Stars games courtesy of On‑Time Experts and assorted merchandise from the host.
Attendees are invited to bring books by any of the featured guests for autographs, and while there is no formal dress code, many will likely sport Stars jerseys or caps.
The atmosphere is deliberately low‑pressure; people can arrive and leave at will, and the only potential hiccup may be a brief interruption during the podcast recording.
For those hoping for a little extra, a modest cash contribution could unlock a secret VIP status, though the night is designed to be accessible to all.
