As is customary in rodeos, young children are invited into the arena here at the Fort Worth Championship Rodeo in Cowtown Coliseum.

The Cowtown Coliseum is a 3,418-seat multi-purpose arena in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. The Coliseum hosts weekly rodeos. It hosts local sporting events and concerts and began hosting the Fort Worth Sixers of the National Indoor Football League starting in 2007.
