Cowtown Coliseum Concert and Event Tickets

The Cowtown Coliseum is more than a coliseum — it's a living monument to Western heritage that puts you at the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards. When you’re shopping for Cowtown Coliseum tickets, you’re stepping into a landmark opened in 1908 that still buzzes with rodeo action, concerts, and family-friendly shows.

This storied indoor arena seats approximately 3,418 guests and blends classic Western architecture with modern amenities. It’s renowned as the first indoor rodeo arena in the United States, anchoring the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District with character and charm.

Programming here spans weekly rodeo events, livestock shows, concerts, and special exhibitions. Legends like Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Chris LeDoux, and Brooks & Dunn have all taken the stage — while the Fort Worth Stockyards Championship Rodeo and Pawnee Bill’s Wild West Show keep tradition alive all year long.

Behind the historic façade, you’ll find updated sound and lighting systems carefully integrated to preserve the venue’s rustic ambiance. Major renovations in the 1980s and again in the 2020s modernized facilities without losing the building’s soul — giving you crisp production in a classic setting.

Whether you’re here for a PRCA event, the American Paint Horse Association World Championship Show, or a headline concert, Cowtown Coliseum delivers an intimate, authentic experience in the cultural heart of Fort Worth.

West Lower Center (Rows 1–10): Comparable views to the East side with a classic, straight-on perspective across the arena floor; a favorite pick for frequent visitors.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Cowtown Coliseum

121 E Exchange Ave

Fort Worth, TX 76164

Cowtown Coliseum sits in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards — a central, walkable district known for Western heritage and lively entertainment. It’s an easy destination for locals and visitors alike.

Parking: Multiple paid parking lots are available nearby, with prepaid options through the Fort Worth Stockyards App; limited free street parking may be available.
Public Transit: Accessible via Trinity Metro bus routes and the TEXRail line (Fort Worth Stockyards Station).
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones are near Exchange Ave and Stockyards Blvd.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. This gives you time to park or hop off TEXRail, pass through security screening, and explore the Stockyards before taking your seat. If you’ve pre-purchased parking through the Fort Worth Stockyards App, have your confirmation handy for a smoother arrival.

While the coliseum is an indoor venue — events go on rain or shine — the surrounding Stockyards are open-air. In summer, temperatures can be hot, so dress comfortably and hydrate. The district features cobblestone and uneven surfaces in places; give yourself extra time for a comfortable walk.

Cell service is generally good but can be spotty during major events, so download your mobile tickets in advance. If you’re coordinating with a group, set a meeting point near the main entrance on Exchange Ave to streamline your arrival, especially during busy Cowtown Coliseum upcoming events.

Venue Navigation

Once inside, you’ll find a straightforward arena layout with seating encircling the central dirt floor. Directional signage (North, South, East, West) and clear row markers make it easy to find your section, while ramps support movement between levels in this historic structure.

Concession stands throughout the concourses serve classic arena fare — hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, soft drinks — along with local Texas barbecue, craft beer, and specialty Western-themed snacks. Merchandise stands offer rodeo and Western-themed apparel and souvenirs. You’ll also find ATMs and limited charging stations on site, plus a visitor information center in the Stockyards and historical exhibits that celebrate the venue’s Western heritage. Comfortable footwear is recommended due to steps and the neighborhood’s cobblestone streets.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Small bags and purses only; large bags and backpacks may be prohibited. All items are subject to security screening.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and beverages, large bags, professional cameras without prior approval, laser pointers, and noisemakers.
Re-entry Policy: Generally not permitted; check with event staff for exceptions.

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.
Pre-purchase parking through the Fort Worth Stockyards App to save time on arrival.
Arrive early to catch the daily cattle drive and snap photos of the historic Stockyards architecture before the show.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to explore the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. Stroll the shops, check out the historical exhibits, and catch the daily cattle drive — it’s a perfect pre-show experience that pairs naturally with a night at Cowtown Coliseum.

If you’re attending with a group, choose a convenient meet-up spot — such as near the main entrance on Exchange Ave — so everyone can head to security together. For many Cowtown Coliseum upcoming events, using Trinity Metro or TEXRail helps you skip parking hassles and get right into the action.

Sunset brings excellent photo opportunities across the Stockyards’ brick streets and historic facades. Build in time to wander, grab a bite, and settle in before showtime — you’ll appreciate the relaxed pace once you’re in your seat.

Accessibility

Cowtown Coliseum is ADA-accessible, with designated accessible seating areas throughout the arena, ADA parking in nearby lots, and ramps to navigate the historic structure.
