Question 4

Do you have seating or do we need to bring chairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes - there will be some seating available at the rodeo.

We’ll have a limited amount of bench seating this year, but it won’t be enough for everyone. To stay comfy and get a great view, we recommend bringing your own chairs and arriving early to grab a good spot.

Question 5

Can I bring chairs on the bus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our buses have luggage compartments with plenty of room to stow chairs.

Question 6

Can I bring my own food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

You are welcome to bring your own food.

As we are a licensed venue, there is no BYO alcohol.

If you're bringing soft drinks, they need to be in unopened, branded containers (no glass). Or, if you're wanting to bring water bottles, they need to be empty to go through the gates and then you can fill up at our water stations inside (again no glass).
