Here are 3 reasons I love the Rodeo:
(1) Rodeo Food - we like to get out of the office during lunch and enjoy what the vendors have to offer.(2) The artist that come - one of the advatages of working at an arena that hosts the rodeo is that once and a while you get to hear the bands warm up or do a sound check for that night's show.
(3) Watching the transformation of the building from basketball/hockey to Rodeo and back again!! This has to be the best!
For those of you who don't know I work for the San Antonio Spurs, Spurs Sports and Entertainment and we are in the AT&T Center. Not only do the Suprs play here but so do the AHL Rampage Hockey team and the WNBA Silver Stars and of course for two wonderful weeks San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo. Well, in order to get ready for the Rodeo we have to melt the ice, and remove the basketball court; that takes about two days. Then the dirt comes in and gets packed down and the gates get set up, another two days. When the Rodeo is over we have two, count them TWO DAYS before we play a basketball game! Yes, our AMAZING staff can convert our arena back to basketball in TWO DAYS! Now there is still the smell of manure and there is still a lot of dust but we are game ready in two days. Here is what the arena looks like in basketball configuration and then with dirt for Rodeo. Enjoy!
Game night!
Rodeo moving in!
