Stars and Mavs fans get new food options at American Airlines Center

Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks fans will have new food options throughout the American Airlines Center this season with a hand-crafted menu.

The two teams worked closely with Levy, American Airlines Center’s hospitality partner, and 50 Eggs Hospitality Group to upgrade the overall food experience.

“We are excited to offer these new high-quality food options for our fans,” said Patrick Dumont, governor of the Mavericks. “These enhancements are the beginning of our effort to reimagine the experience at American Airlines Center. We are pleased our fans will be able to enjoy these new offerings for the 2024-2025 season and we look forward to sharing more of our plans in the months to come.”

“We’re thrilled that our fans will be able to choose from a wide array of fantastic food when they come to a Dallas Stars game,” added Dallas Stars President and CEO Brad Alberts. “Championship-level teams on the ice and on the court go well with championship-level food, and our fans deserve it. We’re thankful to our partners at the Mavericks, Levy, and 50 Eggs Hospitality for coming together to make it all happen.”

The new cuisine will be available starting Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Dallas Stars’ regular season home opener against the New York Islanders.
