Texas law allows a person licensed to carry their handgun onto the City of Fort Worth -owned Stock Show grounds except for the following areas where handguns are prohibited: Will Rogers Coliseum when professional rodeo events are taking place (Jan. 19-Feb. 6).
The Stock Show offers multiple garages on the grounds at the Will Rogers Memorial Center. They generally charge $15 a day. Dickies Arena, the site of this year’s rodeo , is located adjacent to the Will Rogers Memorial Complex at 1911 Montgomery St. in Fort Worth .
General admission also includes access to three museums on the Stock Show grounds–the Cattle Raisers Museum , the National Cowgirl Museum , and the Science and History Museum . All the actual rodeo shows–bull riding and FWSSR PRORODEO tournaments–require a $30 ticket and take place in Dickies Arena.
Other animal welfare groups, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), also object to rodeos . The ASPCA calls them “a cruel form of entertainment that involves the painful, stressful and potentially harmful treatment of livestock”.
According to JobMonkey.com, the pay for rodeo clowns ranges from $100 to $500 per event; full-time clowns can make as much as $50,000 per year, based on working 60 to 100 events a year.
It is our mission to serve producers and consumers throughout the world by being the premier stock show and nationally recognized western heritage and entertainment event. The NWSS is one of Colorado’s preeminent tourist destinations and is held each January for 16 days .
