- Section 114, Rows H-N ($120-$125): Directly facing the timed event boxes. Ideal for team roping and barrel racing enthusiasts.
- North Track Rows A-B ($271): On-track seating puts you right against the rail for chuckwagon races. Bring your cowboy hat - you'll be in the dirt zone!

Key View Differences
- Upper Bowl (700s): Best for seeing all events simultaneously but farthest from the action.
- Lower Bowl (100s): Closest to the dirt with intense energy, but may have limited views of opposite end events.
- Club Level (200s): Covered seating with the broadest sightlines and easiest access to concessions.
- Track Level: Immersive experience but limited visibility during certain events when horses/chariots pass.
Pro Tips
- Rows AA-JJ vary by section but generally represent the front of each level
- Odd-numbered sections (701, 703) face the bucking chutes directly
- Even-numbered sections (702, 714) provide better views of timed events
- For evening performances, west-side seats (Sections 701-714) avoid setting sun glare
Best All-Around Pick
For first-timers, we recommend Section 507, Row G ($82) - centered mid-level views of all events at a reasonable price. Serious rodeo fans should splurge on Section 116, Row D ($96) for that authentic chute-side energy.
