NW Events Center/Cinch Arena

My son's state wrestling tournament was held here today and it was an absolute logistical nightmare. Over an hour long wait to get in, in the sun with no shade and 2 portojohns. Kids and Parents with no hats or bandanas. No water stations. No adequate, accessible handicap parking, and rude emergency staff. A little quality and professionalism goes a long way. Bad job.

Large and loud...bring hearing protection if you are sensitive to noise, uneven ground and long distances, need comfy walking shoes. Could use better signage and posted schedules... entrance puts you in the sellers area with no signs directing where the animal events are going on.

Going to the Events Center was pretty cool. The Horsecapades and the Westernairs give teenagers and youngsters a chance to perform on their horses before a live audience "Pre-Rodeo" I imagine it also helps them with responsibility and discipline. That show was definitely worth going to!

Great Stock Show experiences over the years. From rodeos, to precision riders, Mexican horse performances, dog events, vendors, livestock, food trucks and more. Holy cow, what a great family outing!

We came mid-November to enjoy our "VIP" (Groupon) passes and see the monster truck rally. We have been to the complex before for other shows and events as it has been in business a long time. The show was great and an enjoyable experience! If you have never seen monster trucks in real life, in my opinion, it's something you at least have to see once ! Though primarily attended by males, I had lots of fun and thought it was very neat. (Not my first time either :) ) I rated four instead of five stars for two reasons. The first is because the building itself could use a little refreshing and updating for its many customers and events. The second is because our VIP tickets had us sitting in what seemed like regular seats, we got no extra perks or anything special (*beware* I felt the same experience would've been had for the lesser priced regular ticket- I myself like to have the "Go Big" option- yet there wasn't one), and to top it off the lower deck/section where you can stand and walk around closest to the trucks was closed. Big bummer there. 😕 Otherwise, our evening went well.
