Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo
We keep them connected.
- Annual Attendance: Over 1.26 million visitors
- In 2025, the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo drew an estimated 1.26 million attendees, up 10.4% from the previous year. This indicates the massive, high-load network demands BelWave must support—during peak times.
- Large-Capacity Venue with Swappable Infrastructure
- The rodeo now takes place at Dickies Arena, a multipurpose indoor venue that seats around 9,300 for rodeo performances. This highlights the complexity of delivering enterprise-grade connectivity across major indoor spaces and supporting mobile and outdoor pop-ups on site.
“We needed a provider who knew the terrain and could deliver. BelWave brought the right mix of speed, flexibility, and reliability—no one else could have pulled it off.”
Gary Herta,
Director of IT at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo
When the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo needed internet coverage for a historic venue with no modern infrastructure, they turned to BelWave. From the earliest days—when all they needed was a single connection for the main office—BelWave has been their partner in building a connected campus ready to serve thousands.
Over the years, BelWave expanded its role to deliver connectivity across the entire showgrounds. That means ticket booths, vendor stalls, pop-up offices, and performance venues all come online—some with permanent infrastructure, others installed in a tight window before the crowds arrive.
During the show, BelWave is the only provider that vendors and visitors can count on. Whether you’re buying a corndog, scanning a ticket, or streaming a concert clip, BelWave keeps the show connected behind the scenes.
From WiFi that blankets the grounds to high-capacity links that never buckle under pressure, BelWave’s flexible network and local know-how keep this century-old tradition running on modern rails.
