Will Rogers Memorial Center

The Will Rogers Memorial Center is a historic 120-acre complex in Fort Worth, Texas, dedicated to entertainment, sports, and livestock events. Named after the famed humorist Will Rogers, it hosts major equestrian and livestock shows, including the annual Fort Worth Stock Show. The center features several venues, such as the Will Rogers Coliseum and Auditorium, and attracts over two million visitors each year. Opened in 1936 and designed in the Art Deco style, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. The center remains a key location for equestrian events, even as the nearby Dickies Arena has taken on larger shows and concerts.
