Stock Show parking and transportation

Most parking at the Fort Worth Stock will set you back $15 a day. Weekend visitors will have the option to park at Billy Bob’s north parking lot for $5 and take the Red Line shuttle directly to the main entrance, running about every 20 minutes. Parking at Billy Bob’s and taking the Red Line will also earn you a voucher for $10 off a purchase of $75 or more at Cavander’s.

For ADA compliant parking, go to the Blue Lot, Western Heritage Lot, Orange Lot, Yellow Lot and Chevrolet Garage. A trolley runs from the Yellow Lot to the Stock Show, but it’s not wheelchair accessible.

The Stock Show does not offer valet parking or options to pay in advance. Ride share services will pick up and drop off customers from the Will Rogers Memorial Center and Dickies Arena.

Trinity Metro’s electric bus, The Dash, runs between downtown Fort Worth and Dickies Arena, with late-night service on Friday and Saturday. Tickets are $2 each way or $5 for an all-day ticket.

Rodeos at the Stock Show

Fort Worth’s new 14,000-seat Dickies Arena was built for the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, but it’s more than an arena. It is a unique place in the Cultural District for concerts, graduations and sports in Texas. Explore this 3D photo-realistic recreation of a model of the arena.
