I always love events at the Cowtown Coliseum. It's a small coliseum in the historic Fort Worth Stockyard. There are so many great seats to pick from when you come to an event. There is parking close by and it's easy to get in and out after an event or go grab drinks.

Such an amazing night to the coliseum for the rodeo! Overall it was a blast from the vibe, great view, well kept arena, and the Saturday night excitement. We bought out tickets Friday night online and I'm glad we did. If I lived here I'd probably come as much as I could because I live for the events and watching these athletes fulfill their passion! I do wish there was steer wrestling but that didn't impact our time. Thanks for a great night yall!

We been on a tour here and also attended one of the rodeo events held weekly during part of the year. The venue is very kitschy and cool and a very comfortable place to view events. The seating is very good and we enjoyed watching the ride so. They are friendly and also have plenty of good eats and drinks to choose from! The cost of the events are also reasonable IMO.

We had a great night at the rodeo at this establishment - very y good views , nice bar and overall very easy in and out . Looking forward to coming back again for more shows !

Great experience and my daughter's first rodeo. Awesome staff and very helpful finding seats. Lots of action with a great announcer and a variety of music. We sat in the B section and the seats were great for seeing the action behind the chutes and as the bullriders came out. The pretzels were good but skip the bbq sandwiches. Lots of drink options inside and out of the coliseum. Nice area to also walk around before or after the events.

Just left the Bill Pickett Rodeo and had a blast. The coliseum is small which makes every seat a good seat. Are a bbq chopped pork sandwich and it was pretty good and no more than I would have paid at a restaurant. We had a great time!

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.

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.

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 .

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.

Great experi nice for my first rodeo! Came on a Saturday night and great tickets and good pricing. Super close to the entrance where the cowboys and cowgirls come in and love every minute. They had bull riding, bronco riding, roping, and even some stuff to get the kids involved. A very entertaining and wholesome night for all ages! They also have alcohol and snacks for purchase as well as a pretty cool gift shop. Located right in the heart of the stockyards be prepared to pay or get lucky for parking or rideshare there.

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.

There definitely is! No need to worry about the Texas heat bothering you. :)

How long does the cowtown coliseum usually last?

The show itself lasts 90 minutes to maybe 2 hours tops. But get there early to enjoy the venue!

I love this little shopping area, they have almost everything you can need. They have gyms, movie…read moretheater , lots of different restaurants, coffee shops and apartments. The thing I associate the most with west 7 is their bars and night life. A lot of these places are open during the day as a brunch/restaurant but I prefer the bar scene at night. It can be dangerous is you go to certain places as it can get rough but if you just walk away and dont start trouble you will be fine. At night there are a lot of people here and it can get very dirty with lots of trash due to there being a lot of food trucks in the area. You can find tacos, empanadas, pizza, sandwiches and even BBQ being sold at night out here in the streets. Parking is free if you purchase something from some of the restaurants there but that is not always the case. Free street parking can be found you just have to look or you can pay for staying in the garage. A couple of blooks have 'pay to work' with parking meters but they usually offer you 2 free hours. I would suggest parking as far away and then walking to west 7 at night because if you park on the street after 10pm they will tow your car. I seen it happen multiple times where people pay and park but dont read that it expires at 10pm and right on the dot the tow trucks come out and take peoples car. Be careful where you park and dont start any trouble.

Be honest on price you wont see me here anymore ever in my life and also make sure you ask pricing…read morebefore waiting an hour for service as I did make them give you a receipt

The mix of shops is fantastic, with a great balance of familiar favorites and more unique boutiques. I stop into a few stores regularly, but what I really love is that it's not just about shopping. It's the atmosphere: open, clean, and beautifully maintained. Whether I'm grabbing an ice cream, wandering with a coffee, or just finding a shady bench to sit and catch up on work with my laptop, it always feels like a mini escape. There are several fantastic restaurants throughout the square as well. We dine at them on a regular basis, or grab a quick bite when on a mission running errands. (see my other reviews for those) During the holidays, they go all out with the decorations, and winter is especially magical when the ice rink goes up. I've never actually skated on it due to rain or the crowds, but I love watching families have fun on it, and it makes me smile. Parking can get a little tricky on weekends or during events, but it's manageable, and honestly, I never mind walking a bit when the weather's nice. The area feels safe, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Check the calendar though because they always have events throughout the year, and some of them are amazing.
