Cowtown Coliseum is a 3,418-seat multi-purpose arena in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. The Coliseum hosts weekly rodeos. It also hosts local sporting events and concerts and began hosting the Fort Worth Sixers of the National Indoor Football League starting in 2007.
The venue was built in 1908 and was refurbished in 1986. Elvis Presley once performed there.[citation needed] Part of the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, the structure is the first ever indoor arena for rodeos in the United States.[citation needed]
The Stockyards Championship Rodeo is held at the Coliseum almost every Friday and Saturday.
The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) held their very first event in April 1993 at Cowtown Coliseum. In late December 1993, the venue would be the first stop of the PBR Bud Light Cup Series’ 1994 inaugural season.[1] In February 2021, the PBR’s elite series, now known as the Unleash the Beast Series, returned to Cowtown Coliseum for the first time since 1993 to host an event. The PBR’s Touring Pro Division has hosted the Cowtown Classic at the Coliseum every New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day for several years. Since 2022, the PBR’s Challenger Series hosts Sunday events known as PBR Sundays at Cowtown at the Coliseum from June through August.
The Coliseum also houses the Bull Riding Hall of Fame.
