Will Rodeo Tickets be sold at the gate?
In recent years we had a sold out crowd almost every night and we have similar expectations for this year’s event. Please plan accordingly. We highly suggest that tickets are purchased ahead of time either from our website, D&B Supply (Caldwell). If tickets are still available for the nights performance when gates open at 5:30pm then tickets will be sold.
Are outside food and drink allowed?
No outside food and drinks allowed. We have several local service clubs that will be selling a variety of food options and Coca-Cola products.
Can I bring a blanket, seat cushion, or a stadium seat to sit on?
We want our fans to have the best rodeo watching experience they can have! You are more than welcome to bring blankets, seat cushions, and stadium seats to sit on during the rodeo. However, seating at the CNR is first come first serve. Please do not use use these items to save large sections of seating in the bleachers.
Blankets that are taped down in the bleachers to save seats will be removed and disposed of.
How do I sign my child up for mutton Bustin'?
Mutton Bustin’ is not an event at the Caldwell Night Rodeo’s Junior Rodeo. We do offer many other events for your child to participate in including barrel racing, flag race, breakaway roping, team roping, and junior bull riding.
Can I purchase tickets from the rodeo office?
We do not sell event tickets out of the rodeo office. All tickets can be purchased online. General Admission tickets can also be purchased from any D&B Supply (Caldwell) after the Snake River Stampede CONCLUDES in July.
Where do I park?
Parking fills up fast around CNR! ADA Parking is available for those who need it in front of O’Connor Field House (2207 Blaine St), it is first come, first serve. There is limited free parking available in front of Simplot Stadium, just east of the rodeo grounds off Blaine St. Next, we suggest the free dirt parking lot on 22nd Avenue behind Caldwell Bowl. There is lots of free street parking around the area but please remember to obey public traffic and parking laws. Caldwell Night Rodeo is not liable if you park somewhere that is not a parking spot (like right next to the train tracks). We want all fans to be safe!!
Many businesses allow local clubs to charge for parking on their property. This is up to the business’s decision but we recommend you bring cash if you hope to support these local entities.
