It’s been awhile since we have been to Lone Star Grand Park and I have been wanting to return. I enjoy watching the horses race and Charlie and David do as well.
I can’t wait to let David know SPAWN POINT AND LONE STAR PARK are READY TO LAUNCH A REGIONAL ESPORTS ACADEMY and see if he will go with me to check out this event.
Named the Lone Star Park Esports Academy, the events will be held Saturdays during the track’s Quarter Horse racing season beginning September 21 through October 26. Admission to all events will be free with your paid $5 General Admission to the races. The Academy offers players the opportunity to experience Esports firsthand while interacting with industry authorities and professional Esports athletes.
“We partnered with Spawn Point because of their extensive knowledge and resources within the Esports space,” said Paul Monroe, Director of Marketing at Lone Star Park. “This series of events promises to deliver a new and entertaining experience to the track.”
The Lone Star Park Esports Academy will include:
Esports Career Seminars

An overview of the Esports business – what it is and is not and the various careers involved
Becoming a Pro Player – whether attaining professional status is right for you, how to get started and how to handle the rigors of being an Esports athlete
Becoming a Streamer – how to build a following as a content creator by cultivating and entertaining your audience; what opportunities are available for content creators
