Cowtown Coliseum, Historic rodeo arena in Stockyards District, Fort Worth, United States

Cowtown Coliseum is a 2,400-seat arena in the Fort Worth Stockyards, Texas, built in 1908 and first known as the Grand Coliseum. It is the first indoor rodeo arena in the United States and was refurbished in 1986. The building also houses the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Bull Riding Hall of Fame.

The building opened in 1908 as the Grand Coliseum and is considered one of the first indoor rodeo arenas in the country. Its covered design made it possible to hold rodeo events year-round regardless of weather.

The Stockyards Championship Rodeo has been held here almost every Friday and Saturday since 1992, with Sunday shows on holiday weekends. Since 2023 the Thursday PBR Stockyards Showcase opens the weekend, and since October 2023 Ultimate Bullfighters freestyle bullfighting, a contest between a bull and a riderless bullfighter, fills Sunday. The building also houses the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame and the Bull Riding Hall of Fame.

Rodeo shows take place most Friday and Saturday evenings, with extra performances during holiday weekends. It is worth checking the schedule in advance, as the program shifts throughout the year.

Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter both delivered speeches inside this arena, and Elvis Presley performed here several times during the 1950s. This makes the venue a witness to American history well beyond the world of rodeo.
