Rockingham County Fair Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Spots for Every Event

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Rockingham County Fairgrounds

The Rockingham County Fair is a beloved annual event featuring concerts, rodeos, and agricultural shows. The fairgrounds' versatile arena offers a mix of grandstand seating, general admission, and VIP options. Here’s how to navigate the seating chart for the best experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Grandstand Seating: Covered bleachers with clear stage views—ideal for concerts. Center sections offer the best sightlines, while side sections may have slight angles.
• Track-Side (Rodeo/Events): Front-row seats deliver thrilling action but may lack elevation. Mid-level bleachers balance proximity and overview.
• General Admission Lawn: Budget-friendly but first-come, first-served. Bring blankets for comfort; arrive early for prime spots.

Best Seats by Event

• Concerts: Center grandstand rows 5–15 (avoid sound booth obstructions).
• Rodeos: Sections near bucking chutes or mid-bleachers for full arena views.
• Family Shows: Lawn seating for space, or grandstand edges for quick exits.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Elevated, shaded seating with exclusive concessions.
• Accessibility: Designated wheelchair areas with companion seats near entrances.

Pro Tips

Check event-specific charts (some shows rearrange seating). For concerts, avoid extreme sides; for rodeos, higher seats minimize dust. Budget tip: Lawn passes offer flexibility for multi-day attendees.
