Seating Recommendations and Charts

Amarillo Tri-State Exposition features multiple venues across the fairgrounds, with seating that varies by event — from arena-style layouts and grandstands to open fairground areas for standing-room concerts and festivals. Configurations change based on whether you’re in the Amarillo National Center, a rodeo setup, or an outdoor stage.

• Amarillo National Center arena: This versatile indoor arena is a centerpiece of the fairgrounds and often hosts rodeos, concerts, and large exhibitions. For concerts and arena shows, look for centrally located sections for balanced sightlines.
• Rodeo grandstands: During the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo and other western events, grandstand seating lines the arena for clear views of the action. Arrive early to secure seats along the long sides for the best look at chutes and key competition areas.
• VIP seating (event-dependent): For select rodeos or concerts, limited VIP or premium seating may be available with closer proximity to the arena or stage and dedicated amenities. Availability is event-specific.
• Open fairground stages: Many fairs and festivals set up outdoor stages with standing general admission or mixed seating. For the best views, position yourself near front-of-house sound for optimal audio while maintaining a clear view of the stage.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Amarillo Tri-State Exposition

3301 SE 10th Ave

Amarillo, Texas 79104

The fairgrounds are located within Amarillo, offering convenient access for locals and visitors exploring the Texas Panhandle.

• Parking: On-site parking is available across the fairgrounds. While costs and capacity vary by event, ample parking is typical for fairgrounds.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available; Amarillo City Transit may run nearby routes during major events.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup zones available near main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before major events, especially during the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo, to allow time for parking, ticket scanning, and walking between venues. If you’re attending one of the biggest Amarillo Tri-State Exposition events, entry lines can build quickly — arriving early helps you settle in and catch the start.

Amarillo weather can be windy and variable, particularly in spring and fall. Many events are outdoors or in open-air buildings, so dress in layers and bring sun protection for daytime visits. If you’re staying into the evening, a light jacket helps once the West Texas breeze picks up.

The fairgrounds are expansive, with multiple buildings and attractions spread out over a large area. Comfortable footwear is a must, and if you’re meeting a group, choose a clear rendezvous point (like the main entrance) to regroup after navigating the crowds. Cell service is generally good, but it may be congested during large events — download your tickets in advance for faster entry.

Venue Navigation

The Amarillo Tri-State Exposition includes multiple buildings, arenas, and outdoor spaces arranged across a walkable fairground layout. Expect to move between the Amarillo National Center, exhibition halls, livestock barns, and outdoor stages or grandstands depending on your event’s schedule.

You’ll find concessions, restrooms, and merchandise stands throughout the fairgrounds during major events. ATMs are available on-site during the fair to make purchases easier. If your plans include exploring multiple attractions in one visit, build in extra time to walk between venues — and wear comfortable shoes to handle the distances and any stairways within arena seating areas.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Policies vary by event — check event-specific guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Details vary by event; typical restrictions may include weapons and outside food or drink. Review your event page for specifics.
• Re-entry Policy: Varies by event; fairs often allow re-entry with a hand stamp or valid ticket, but confirm details before arrival.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome as required by law.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Expect wind and changing temperatures; pack layers or a hat with a secure fit.
• Map your must-see stops (arenas, stages, barns) to make the most of your time on the fairgrounds.

Pre-Event Planning

If you’re attending during the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo, sketch out a simple plan: pick your can’t-miss competitions, mark your preferred grandstand or arena area, and set meeting points with your group near the main entrance or a prominent building. This helps you navigate more efficiently when crowds swell.

Stay for sunset if you can — the views over the fairgrounds can be striking, and the midway lights up beautifully after dark. It’s a great time to grab classic fair food and enjoy live music or exhibitions as the evening settles in.

For full-day visits, build in breaks between shows, livestock exhibits, and rides. The grounds are spread out, so slot in meal times and rest stops to keep your energy up and ensure you don’t miss highlights later in the evening.

Accessibility

Amarillo Tri-State Exposition is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking likely available near main entrances, accessible seating for arena events (check specific locations with the event organizer), and ramps in main buildings to support mobility needs. If your visit includes multiple buildings, plan accessible routes in advance to minimize long walks.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you'll find concessions serving snacks, drinks, and beverages, along with local fair foods, regional specialties, and classic carnival fare — especially during the Tri-State Fair & Rodeo. Expect multiple food vendors positioned near grandstands, arenas, and high-traffic areas across the fairgrounds.
