Visit The Houston Rodeo
The following is a paid post written and reviewed for DailyDollarReport.com. It is completely of my opinion and is not influenced by being paid.
From personal experience, the Houston Rodeo is a great experience that leads to horrible traffic. For the month of March avoid the area if you are not heading to or from Rodeo. The “regulars” have their unofficial uniforms: Men wear jeans, button shirt, hat, boots, stand alone, but women wear boots, short jean skirts, with or without hat. Be aware that the actual concerts start closer to 9 on weekdays despite that the Rodeo fun starts at about 7. For tickets to concerts at the Houston Rodeo, you need to show up early and expect a line. Tickets are relatively cheap and great to bring along a group to the event.
Ah Ha! I figured out a way to yelp about rodeo food! Food is pricey. The Paradise Burger was much better than expected, but still not worth the $6. The Fried Oreoes are not to be missed, assuming you head out to the carnival area before it closes, if not you will miss them in the same way I did last night!
Let’s not forget one of the staples of Rodeo: Beer! If you are a common person just visiting the rodeo, expect to pay about $7 per bottle of beer. Yes, it sucks, but if you are part of the cool kids club, ie. a Rodeo Committeeman then you can find beer and mixed drinks for only $4. If you are not on a committee then make friends with someone who is! Committeemen also get in for free and can bring a friend. (That would be how I get in!)
