Round Up Inn Ballroom

We decided on an impromptu trip to the gun show today. It was not bad. Definitely wasn't what I was expecting.. basically just a room full of guns 🤷🏼‍♀️ I mean what else would it be lol. But I was hoping for more.... Interaction I guess. All in all it was fun and in a great historic location. There were some beautiful pieces!!!

They changed the parking where RVs of only contestants can stay. We had planned to stay there as our granddaughter was showing livestock over a few days. There were empty spaces so there was room for us, but we were turned away. I grew up in Fort Worth and have been going the the Rodeo and Livestock Show since the 1950s. It was always had the friendly Texas hospitality of the Where The West Begins town. Our granddaughter during her senior year next year now what's to go to a different livestock shows instead of the Fort Worth one. I hope this show will return to the great hospitality that I remember from past years. Don't turn into Dallas !

Seats were too cramped. My knees were in my chest. Lighting was poor. Seats and rows were poorly marked. Ushers couldn't figure out seating either.
Concession area was small. Everyone was crowded in like cattle, but even worse. Uncomfortable.
Auditorium either needs to be remodeled or torn down.
The concert was good though.

Great layout for large crowds or big events. Entrance from all sides and sufficient parking makes accessibility close and convenient and the structural architecture is awe inspiring. The spaces or streets in between buildings are clean and ample for any size crowd and the bathrooms were abundant and ultra clean. The rodeo and livestock show was a snapshot of the best our Texas and what makes us so proud.

Went to the Fort Worth Stock Show Nat Will Rogers Memorial Center. The facility is nice and open. Lots of things to do. $12 for adult $5 for kids admission fee. Then there was was the cost of food. Parking was $15 very high. So for one person it's $27 just to go.. Plan on spending about $10 per person for a meal and $4 per bottle of water. NOT A GOOD VALUE AT ALL FOR A FAMILY.
