Stockyards Championship Rodeo

Staged within the historic Cowtown Coliseum, this long-running weekend event unfolds inside the space that hosted the world’s first indoor rodeo. The two-hour program cycles through a series of specialized challenges, balancing high-speed timed events—including breakaway, team, and tie-down roping alongside barrel racing—with technical rough stock competitions. Riders face off in bull, bronc, bareback, and ranch saddle bronc riding, while younger audience members may take part in the occasional Calf & Mutton Scramble. Be aware that the show is a high-sensory environment, utilizing pyrotechnics, flashing lights, and loud music throughout the performance.
