Construction began in January of 1948. Today this coliseum is home to The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.

Year after year the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo takes great pride in protecting and promoting the western way of life. The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo mission statement reads, “a volunteer organization that emphasizes agriculture and education to develop the youth of Texas.” Through community education and involvement, The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo is active in preserving an integral part of Texas’ history.

The year was 1925 when an idea sparked in Leighton Kramer to draw more visitors to Tucson during the mid-winter months. With a chance to promote Tucson and celebrate its western history, La Fiesta de Los Vaqueros was born. This 9-day long rodeo is for cowboys and cowgirls as they compete in PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) rodeo events such as bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, and barrel racing. With a past as rich as a prospector hitting gold, La Fiesta de Los Vaqueros combines western tradition, with new-age excitement to create one of the most exciting events during the early PRCA season.
