| RocketPilot - 2015-12-19 1:24 PM Even with the limited entries, I don't think that Houston could fill the building without the musical performers.
I've never been to Houston, but I've always thought the same thing. I've always figured a place that big wouldn't be filled just on rodeo alone. If it weren't for the livestock show drawing in people to the area and the concerts filling the seats, I would say it wouldn't be done. They bring in people like Beyonce. I can only assume most who go to Houston don't care a thing about rodeo. It's just something they have to sit through to see the concert they really came to see. I know there are a lot of rodeo fans in the seats too, but not to the record seating they can hold there. | |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | It would be interesting if they did a poll at the NFR to find out how many are really Rodeo Fans and who are there for the first time? Seems the real rodeo fans are sitting and watching the performances on a big screen at the different casinos. The ticket prices are out of control and only the "Elite" fans can afford good seats..LOL | |

Someone needs to inform the leaders of the ERA of this. | |

Do you feel that this is a new trend at the Houston Rodeo? I saw the Jackson Five at the Houston Rodeo in 1974. I don't recall them playing country music but it has been quite a long time. | |

No, it is definitely not a new trend. I can remember Cher & Donnie and Marie at Houston. It seems like my son was always up on Tejano day and the hispanic community turns on in droves. We joked that it was his fate and heritage to draw up that day. It is a way to fill the buildings. | |
