Angola prison rodeo

I've always wanted to go.

Yeah it’s fun

Ive never been though so take that fwiw

It's amazing. The crafts they sell are very well made. Everything from a carved rose to a dining room table set.

And watching 4 inmates play poker when a raging bull is let loose and the last man sitting at the table wins is something eveyone should experience.

You'll get a small taste of how amazing the Roman Collesum must've been

Looks like i may drive down in October when the weather gets right. Will take my daughter with me. Think we would both really enjoy it

I bought a used shank once

Get your tickets on the west side out of the sun. Parking or rather leaving can be pain, but it's worth the time.

Well worth it. Traffic sucks arse leaving, but it's been yes since I've been so I don't know if it still is bad.

Traffic is still bad and always will be. The last rodeo they didn’t sell hobbycraft tickets so there were a lot less people there.

Was better before they all started wearing vests and helmets.

I agree. I first went about twenty years ago and I still go once every couple of years but it really is tamer these days.

Maybe all of the good arts and crafts are bought up early but I never see anything but crap for sale there.

They built a new stadium a few years back that tripled attendance but still have the same one-lane road to exit so traffic leaving is horrendous.

Good advice about getting seats on the west side.

I never bring a firearm but I'm amazed at the ammount of people who do. My buddy brought one one year and they make you check it in this building by the gatehouse. It made me think I was only one who didn't bring a gun. It looked like Cabella's in there.

For all my bitching, it's still a great time and I think everyone should go at least once.

I know I'll be back.

Go before it gets any tamer or maybe even shut down altogether due to political correctness.

Never been to the rodeo but I've heard its great. The museum there is really neat, too.
