Salt Lake City Stars
2022-03-19 18:00 - 20:30 | Vivint Smart Home Arena, 301 W South Temple, Salt Lake City, UT, 84101, United States
The Salt Lake City Stars are offering an open invite to costumed fan groups to attend their event on March 19, 2022. This is approved by Lucasfilm. The contact information and details for the event are listed below. Please feel free to share this broadly with your clubs!

Directly below is what we send to the Teams regarding Open Invites for Fan Group participation at sports games:
All SW themed events with Major and Minor league teams are now considered OPEN INVITES. This means we do not have to cast and teams do not have to pay performers. Teams must welcome all fan groups on a first come basis and cannot ask for specific characters or specific amounts. They can set a maximum limit based on accommodations. Open Invites are just that: an invitation to fan groups to show up at an event in costume. Teams cannot direct fan group members to do any activities or be anywhere specific at any specific time – they may provide the groups with a list of activities to self-organize and participate in, but it is at fan group members’ own discretion. We strongly prefer that characters not throw out first pitches, participate in puck drops, sing the National Anthem or things of that nature – if they want, fan group members may escort a child or fan to the mound, etc., but must not be directed to do so. Characters should not hold, wear, sit in or stand on any branded item or logo, especially with a team emblem. The fan groups are welcome to be photographed with others wearing the team logo/brands or in front of signage featuring the team logo/brand, however. We strongly suggest that teams provide a handler/security for costumed fans during activities to ensure the safety and security of said costumed fans, to protect them from overzealous game attendees. Costumed fan groups must be referred to as members from their respective fan groups, and not as official SW/Disney/Lucasfilm characters.
Please note that if you or your club members require a handler or handlers at the event, you must provide them yourself and not rely on handlers from other clubs to fulfill this responsibility.
No temp approvals allowed

Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it â€œthe hardest fun youâ€™ll ever have.â€?
Under strict rules, limited time and resources, teams of students are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game against like-minded competitors. Itâ€™s as close to real-world engineering as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team. Each season ends with an exciting FIRST Championship.

We will be making a basket for the silent auction ahead of time and help with it is appreciated. You are also welcome to make one of your own.
We have the locker rooms for dressing. Multiple teams are invited, and I’m on the planning committee. If you guys are able to attend, I would ask that at this event, all cosplayers act as if they are part of the same team and avoid cliques. I was a foster kid, so this event has special meaning for me. I’m hoping that this year will be the biggest one yet. I would personally appreciate your team’s assistance! Thank you, so much.
