Rodeo Every Friday Night at 8:00 PM!

Welcome to the Kissimmee Sports Arena and Rodeo web site. Our site is dedicated not only to the men, women, and children who ride here every weekend, but to the spirit of the rodeo as well. There is no greater tradition than that of the American Cowboy. We hope you will take the time to stop by and visit us to watch our men, women, and children compete in some of the toughest sports there are.

Florida may not be what you think of when you think of cowboys and the rodeo. Florida's cowboys of the day were more accurately called 'Cow-hunters'. Because of the unique terrain and underbrush, these cow-hunters had to be skilled in many areas of roping and handling cattle that roamed almost wild in the thick palmettos of our area. The Cow-hunters would actually need to go in and flush out the cattle in order to take them to the market. Not a very easy task considering that they were in a swampy area with alligators and snakes!

The rodeo started as a competition between ranch hands whose job it was to break in the new horses and cattle. At Kissimmee Sports Arena we celebrate the heritage of the skills it took to survive in the early days of our nation. Not only will you have a chance to enjoy our exciting events, but you may learn a thing or two about life in the early days of Florida. Come experience the fun and excitement at The Kissimmee Sports Arena's Friday night Rodeo!

Thanks for posting this Stu. We have it on our must list for next year.

Thanks Stu!

Reasonable rates as well.

I think that Kissimmee was a large cattle hearding station or suchlike in the past.

Thanks Stu. That will have to go on our list of things "to do". Don't you just love the map on their site - guaranteed to get you lost. LOL. I didn't know that International Drive joined the 27!
