About Tri-State Rodeo Arena

Tri-State Rodeo Arena is located at the Tri-State Rodeo Grounds in Fort Madison, Iowa, and centers on the C.E. “Eddie” Richards Arena. The grounds are operated by Tri-State Rodeo, Inc., a nonprofit organization that produces the annual rodeo. While the arena’s opening year is not listed here, the Tri-State Rodeo itself dates to the 1940s, and the 76th annual rodeo was held in 2024.

The venue is best known for professional PRCA rodeo competition, including the flagship Tri-State Rodeo held in early September. It also hosts Lil Spurs Rodeo youth events, live concerts, and music programming such as the TSR Summer Roundup, a two-day concert event staged inside the arena. The rodeo has been named since 2000 among the nation’s top five large outdoor rodeos and ranked first among its Great Lakes Circuit peers.

With grandstand seating arranged around a dirt arena floor, Tri-State Rodeo Arena is built for close-up views of rodeo action, western entertainment, and outdoor summer events in Fort Madison.

Location & Transportation

Tri-State Rodeo Arena is located at 2103 303rd Ave, Fort Madison, IA 52627 — on the edge of Fort Madison in southeastern Iowa.

Driving and Parking: The grounds are accessed primarily by car, with on-site and adjacent field parking typical for rodeo grounds of this kind. During the annual rodeo, crowds are at their peak, so arriving early gives you more time for parking, walking to the arena, and getting through entry before the event begins.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in Fort Madison, with additional hotel options throughout the surrounding Tri-State area. Visitors can also look in Keokuk, Iowa, Burlington, Iowa, and communities across the river in Illinois for more places to stay.

Venue Navigation

Tri-State Rodeo Arena is an outdoor rodeo complex centered on the C.E. “Eddie” Richards Arena, with grandstand seating surrounding the dirt competition floor. Understanding the open-air rodeo grounds layout before arrival helps you plan for walking surfaces, weather, and the pace of a busy event day.

Dining Options

Inside Tri-State Rodeo Arena

Rodeo events typically feature on-grounds concession stands with standard fair-style food and beverage service. Alcohol is commonly available through the beer garden and concessions during events, making it easy to stay on-site for food and drinks during rodeo performances or concerts.

Outside the Venue — Fort Madison

Downtown Fort Madison offers restaurants and bars a short drive from the grounds. If you want a full meal before heading to the arena, planning time in town before driving to the rodeo grounds is the simplest approach.

Security & Policies

Tri-State Rodeo Arena maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

How Much Do Tickets to Tri-State Rodeo Arena Cost?

Tri-State Rodeo Arena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from rodeo performances to headline concert events.

Rodeo performances, including general admission and reserved seating options, are commonly priced at approximately $15–$40. General admission grandstand seating is typically the most affordable way to attend, while reserved seating can cost more based on location and demand during rodeo week.

Concert events such as TSR Summer Roundup can range from approximately $25–$75 or more depending on the act. Headline performers, stronger demand, and preferred viewing areas can push prices higher as the event date approaches.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection for the annual rodeo and headline concerts. As inventory shrinks closer to the event, the best remaining seats can rise in price, especially for peak rodeo-week performances and popular music events.

Getting Ready for Your Tri-State Rodeo Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor rodeo venue where parking, weather, and walking surfaces are part of the experience.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early during the annual rodeo week to allow for parking and entry, as the event draws large crowds.
• Wear the right footwear. The rodeo grounds include dirt and grass surfaces, so closed-toe shoes or boots are advisable.
• Dress in layers. As an outdoor venue, Tri-State Rodeo Arena can bring sun and heat during summer events, cooler evenings in September, and rain exposure when weather moves through. Bring layers and rain protection as needed.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. During the annual rodeo, allow additional time for parking, walking from the lots, and entering before the performance begins.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
