PLANO, Texas, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Few things are as fun to celebrate as kids' birthday parties and the kickoff of football season.

Now at Main Event, one of the fastest growing social and family entertainment brands in the country, guests will have a chance to do both now more than ever.

In recognition of its first-year partnership with the Dallas Cowboys, Main Event is marking the 60th season of Cowboys football by offering fans 60 minutes of FREE game play with the purchase of 60 minutes on every Cowboys gameday. The 60 minutes of free play is available on the more than 120 games inside each center beginning on Sunday, Sept. 13.

"Parties and celebrations are core to the culture at Main Event, and during a year that people are looking for safe ways to spend time together, we couldn't think of a better way to make that possible than by activating around Cowboys gamedays," said Sarah Beddoe, Chief Brand Officer, Main Event Entertainment. "Enjoying Dallas Cowboys games are a tradition for so many families, and we think adding our form of entertainment to the gameday watching experience only brings even more reasons to celebrate with each other during the game."

Additionally, kids and families can now celebrate birthdays at Main Event with the most epic Cowboys themed party, as an add-on to any birthday package.
