This was in fact my First Rodeo. Now I am not from a place that does Rodeos, this was a whole different amount of culture and atmosphere then I expected. This is truly some peoples life! And I get it, the showman ship and atmosphere was in fact entertaining.The show started with LOUD indoor pyrotechnics of some sort, startling but the horses were not bothered so neither should I be. There was a LONG US propaganda-esque and religious themed intro, which in Texas I understand but it was very jarring and abnormal to me. That said, the woman who rode the galloping horse around the arena for the entirety of the national anthem with a large flag in one hand, congrats. The core and arm strength of her is commendable.After that, the show was amazing. The athletes and animals created a great watching experience that had me fully enthralled. I know the big show is the bull riding, but to me the bucking Broncos was where it is really at. I was up in the Cowboy Corner section, I say its worth it to spend a bit more for nicer seats higher up that allow a good view and more spacious seating. As well as your own Bar. We also got a good view of the cowgirls and boys prepping the animals and themselves for each round. I enjoyed this as I am the type to want to know all the details and set up stuff that bored many others.Snacks were ok, basic stadium food. There was a taco section I didn't get to but that looked a step above the rest of the concessions for sure. Staff was very kind and efficient at the concessions as well as helping to navigate around the coliseum. I cannot applaud all the athletes and performers more, from the support rescue staff that get the riders off and away from the animal safely, as well as guide the animal back safely. To the barrel racers, calf wranglers, All the way to the Rodeo clowns, why someone sees an angry bull and thinks, hey I wanna run upto that and touch its face for funsies, is beyond me. But its amazing to see. Plus the lasso act, I mean wow, I still don't believe my eyes, his skill was magical to say the least.They also had an intermission that had kids games to get the young audience involved directly which was very sweet. Bathrooms are spread enough to allow everyone use even in these busy times. Well worth the experience, I will seek out another show next time Im neat a rodeo, especially if I am at the Cowtown Coliseum again.

Nice rodeo and venue. The way I remember it as a child. Highly recommended especially for parents with children, because they have activities in the arena for kids. Don't interpret this as me saying it's for kids. It's a serious rodeo and you'll be watching replays the next day in several bars.

I visited Fort Worth on a Thursday, and while walking around, I noticed Cowtown Coliseum was having Professional Bull Riding that night. I was able to go to the ticket booth out front and purchase 2 tickets for the front box seats. This cost about $140 for the day of, but it is a little cheaper if you were to purchase online before the day of the event. The lady who assisted us at the window was so helpful.We arrived back later for the show. There were local colleges in the front passing out merch and free ice cream. We were taken to our seats by staff, and this was such a smooth process. The seats were great, and I liked that we were close to the side where the bulls came running out.The show was great. The Coliseum was large and grand. The videoing of the show made it easy to see. I recommend it when in Fort Worth to make this a stop on your trip.

This was my first rodeo, and I was thrilled, amazed, and moved by the show that Cowtown Coliseum put on. We were there on a Friday night, and there was so much to see: bull riding, barrel racing, roping, and bronco riding. The show opened with a thirteen-year-old girl who sang an awe-inspiring rendition of the Star Spangled Banner and also sang Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (RIP, Toby Keith -- you are much loved and missed). I was moved by the fact that the introduction to the rodeo included prayer for a safe and joyful event.These horses are animals of valor and strength. They stole the show. Without them, there would be NO show. Their speed, their agility, their willingness to work so closely with their riders -- I was riveted to their beauty.Patriotic, skilled, talented. These people, both men and women, are in a class of their own, with bravery and abilities that deserve the highest caliber of respect.The rodeo clowns kept riders safe -- what a job! I was on the edge of my seat watching them.The adorable 9-year-old boy whose job it was to get the crowd going did just that. What a great kid.The Cowtown Coliseum embodies everything I love about Texas and country: strength, skill, American pride, faith, teamwork, bravery, and a can-do attitude. Hats off to the people who gave so much thrill to the crowd at this rodeo.

You shouldn't go to TX without catching a rodeo! All the seats are pretty good, some of the higher up sections have poles that kind of block your view, so be careful when you pick your seats. We saw a variety of roping and barrel racing performances. There are snacks and beverages available to purchase. It's a bit cold in here, even in Sept., so you might want to wear long sleeves or bring a sweater. We had a great evening here.

We are in Ft Worth for the day and night doing touristy stuff. I booked tickets a few days ahead of time online. I was in section F, row 2. Although these are good seats for calf roping and team roping, they were a little far away from bull riding. The arena was built in 1908 and is historic and shows its age. The rodeo itself was full of new talent or amateurs. Such as only 2 men could ride the bull 8 seconds, missed roping of the calves, barrell racers knocking down barrels, etc. I was actually cheering when the calfs run off without getting roped. They have "God bless the USA" song, a prayer, and star spangled banner at the beginning. There were 2 events where kids chase a calf and sheep to remove a scarf. Cowboys in Affliction shirts, you get the drift. Bathroom line was super long so I skipped. They only take credit cards at concessions, no cash. Water was $5 a bottle. I'm from out of state, so probably won't be back. It was fun regardless. Review 5 in 2025.

The history this coliseum holds!! The number of legends that have come out of this place, where rodeo experiences began, and PBR was created. I just love the history of it all. Now, do be warned, the strong smell of livestock will impact you as soon as you walk in! But everything is organized and well kept. Bathrooms are a smidge outdated, but I mean, it is a 100+ year old building hahahaha They have concessions available for food purchase, and bartenders on the side .

Awesome experience!! First time being here and we had a blast. We did not purchase any food so can't rate that but the service was great when the usher showed us to our seats and the ambience was fun. I was excited and loved the show.
