Reliant Park is ready for some BBQ and Rodeo! Last year was a record setting attendance, with over 2.25 Million guests entering our gates in a 23 day span. Even though the Rodeo isn’t going to be finished off with a George Strait concert, the expected attendance is greater than last years! There are some changes to the event timeline from previous years, however, the event logistics are remaining mostly the same.
