Will Rogers Memorial Auditorium

This is a little tucked away and hard to find but not a bad venue for seeing a show. I've been twice now once to see the nutcracker the second tome was to see a band. The sound was good and both places I sat could see the stage Well. The drink options are very limited to wine beer and soft drinks but if you know before you go it's a pretty cool little venue

Went to an event and it was one of the worst live event experiences ever. There was no signage to find the entrance.Finally when we got to the entrance, it was crazy squeezing hundreds thru this small entrance and same chaos leaving. The only part that was ok was the venue and the people working. Next time there's an event held here I'll pass

The auditorium itself is a two story viewing area. We were at the lover level. I didn't pay attention if the upper level was even open to see that view of the competition. I was at a 4 day event but went for the last 3 days. The last 2 days of this event were the busiest with spectators. Concessions were ridiculous up there. $4.16 for a very small bag of chips. (think lunch size), big bag of popcorn was $6.00. Although one of my sons was about to spend his money, we didn't buy anything and I just told him we would go somewhere. We brought our own snacks, drinks and even food. There is a CVS close by and our food was brought in from the In and Out one of the days.The two huge downfall is the awful smell upon arriving. An RV dump station is right next to the auditorium building so prepare for the septic tank smell! Also as you enter the building it smells pretty strong and of course worse if you plan to take a look at the animals if they are in the rodeo arena. Maybe take a mask if it's your first time to offset the smell a bit. But it's pretty strong when you enter and exit the main auditorium hallway areas. The parking is minimal depending where you enter and then the cost if you decide to go that route I believe was going to be $10/day but thank good for my husband because he dropped us off every time and found free parking spots within walking distance of the auditorium. Restrooms were pretty well maintained because I honestly made several trips in that 3 days time period and never went without toilet paper in the stall or without soap when washing my hands. Dressing rooms for our group of girls were available back stage and downstairs but this may vary per event and with the females vs. males. I know the males dressing rooms were up stairs. Seating was always available even though alot of teams participated at this dance competition. I love how big the stage was this time to allow a bit more dancing room. Over all, we enjoyed being at this competition of course, to watch our daughter and her teammates.
