Always wanted to go. Everything is fun at a rodeo, especially one that ain't just bull riding. Then you'll have brad paisley for entertainment. He's not Florida Georgia line so that's definitely a plus.

It's a good time. Trade show during the day is fun also. Get a few beers and walk around.

Yeah, it's always a good time. We live here and go a few times each year. Pick a good concert and go early to walk around and eat, then catch the rodeo or just hang out in the wine garden, then head to the concert. After concert go to the hideaway.

I go every year. Going to see Willie Nelson..if he makes it.

Huge exhibition hall filled with all kinds of vendors and livestock.
The horse cutting competitions are impressive, but they are completed before the first day of the rodeo.

The cook off is a blast if you have a bracelet to a tent. My company sponsors one of my coworkers teams. Our TX guys are always entertaining customers at the cook off and at the concerts.

Working it 3 or 4 nights and taking the family to see Chris Stapleton .

It's a good time lots to see and do, usually a very good rodeo, but I will say the concert leaves a little to be desired. The aucustics in NRG are just not very good.

I will be in town for a meeting and our company has something going for March 8th.
I've never been so don't know what to expect.
We won't get there until about 5:30 or 6:00pm
Old Dominion is playing... didn't recognize the name but I have heard 1 of their songs on the radio.

Gates open at 6:00 so you will have plenty of time to get in and get situated. I would recommend eating outside the stadium not the carnival area but there are large tented areas with all types of food vendors.

If your tickets are in the 300 "Club Level" food is a little better but not much, but you can get hard liquor drinks if you enjoy that type of thing.

My company has a suite for that night.
I'm not sure where that is or what all it includes but it sounds fancy.

Is there a "rodeo" every night? Or just a concert?

The suites are nice. Food and Drink provided in a smaller setting usually around 20-30 tickets per suite.
