McAllen, TX – The South Texas Airport of the Dallas Cowboys kicked off the football season with a Meet and Greet with Michael Irvin, the Dallas Cowboys legend and NFL Hall of Famer. The Meet and Greet attracted fans from all over the Rio Grande Valley where he also announced he would 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! And you do it for each other, your parents, and your kids! I love that! And that is why this is Cowboys country,” said Michael Irvin after his Meet and Greet. The event also featured an open autograph session with Tony Hill, a Dallas Cowboys legend.
