    Get to Know Delaney

    Delaney has always been passionate about makeup and fashion trends, but most people are unaware that she was a devoted athlete for the majority of her life. For nine straight years, Delaney played basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Talk about determination! In high school, she earned five state championships from her basketball and track teams. And, as far as she knows, she still holds the record for scoring (7) 3-point shots in one basketball game. Delaney turned down two college basketball scholarships because she wanted to focus on becoming an event planner and went on to earn her degree in Hospitality and Business from Texas A&M University. Now Delaney puts our whole UV team to shame during any sports activity. She recently won our company’s friendly pop-a-shot competition (if that is what you want to call it considering she scored twice as many baskets as anyone else.)

    Plan like a Champion with Delaney

    Delaney has a passion for the events industry and exceeding her client’s expectations. She loves when she has the opportunity to mix her two passions together: events and sports. There are many ways Delaney can cater a unique sports experience for you and your attendees at your company’s next meeting or event. Here are some of the ways Delaney can make your event a grand slam!

    Texas Motor Speedway

    Texas Motor Speedway is the premier motorsports facility in Texas and is conveniently located in Fort-Worth. If you have ever wanted to feel what it would be like to be a professional race car driver, we’ve got the experience for you! UV can customize a ride and/or drive experience for you and your team at the Speedway. If you are more of a spectator than a doer, no worries! We can set you up to watch a race in your own personal luxury suite. Of course, Texas Motor Speedway also offers private meeting and event spaces that can be rented out to host a one-of-a-kind event inside the building or even on the track.

    The Star in Frisco

    The Star in Frisco is home to the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters and The Ford Center. It’s where our beloved Dallas Cowboy players practice and train in the off-season, but it can also be where you hold your next one-of-a-kind meeting or event. The Star has 91-acres of premier sports and entertainment spaces, including the Ford Center, a 12,000-seat indoor stadium and concert venue. It is the perfect location to host an impressive event. Make your team feel like stars with an award dinner on the field! We can also set you up with a special tour of the Dallas Cowboys Headquarters or a private dinner at the Training Table (where the Cowboys dine). UV can even bring punt, pass, kick, catch, and run activities for your attendees to play next to the Dallas Cowboys practice field.

    Texas Live!

    Texas Live! is the brand new $250 million entertainment district in Arlington, Texas, set between AT&T Stadium (the home of the Dallas Cowboys) and Globe Life Park (the home of the Texas Rangers). There are several different event spaces, restaurants, and concert venues within Texas Live. One of the venues is called PBR Texas, which is the largest Professional Bull Riders (PBR) venue in the country. Host your next event at PBR Texas and everyone can have their try at riding a mechanical bull! If your company is into some friendly competition, look no further than Sport & Social. Your guests will enjoy tavern style food and fancy cocktails while playing skeeball, table tennis, shuffle puck, air hockey, and virtual golf simulators in the game parlor! It would be an unforgettable evening. If you have a lot of foodies on your team, dinner at Troy’s is your answer. Owned by Cowboys Hall of Famer, Troy Aikman, Troy’s features gourmet food, live music, and signature cocktails.  Everyone will leave full and happy!

    Sports Themed Décor and Entertainment

    If you would prefer to stay onsite, then Ultimate Ventures can bring the sports theme to your hotel ballroom or event venue! We can create a friendly ping pong competition for you and your team or bring in a golf simulator for your employees to practice their skills. For a themed event, UV can create an Olympic themed team-building experience custom-made for your team’s needs. If you’re hosting an event near the NBA Playoffs, let UV bring in some unique basketball décor ideas to elevate your guests’ experience (like our award nominated Journey to the Finals event).

    Delaney might have had a lot of dedication on the court in her youth, but the dedication she has for her clients today exceeds that! Request a proposal for your next meeting/event and UV will make sure the attendees feel like stars.
