About Big R Arena At Colorado State Fair

The Big R Arena sits within the Colorado State Fair grounds in Pueblo, Colorado, offering an outdoor dirt arena experience with a robust combination of grandstands and bleacher seating. With a 49,300 sq ft arena area and a total capacity of up to 8,000 (standing room), it hosts a variety of events—from rodeos to motocross to demolition derbies. Whether you’re attending a rodeo under the summer sun or a high-energy monster trucks show, you’ll find accessible seating options and on-site backstage parking for convenience. We’ve got you covered with seating details, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan your visit.

For the most up-to-date seating layouts, check the Colorado State Fair Box Office for the Big R Arena grandstand map and the full-house map. The venue is part of a larger fairgrounds complex that also includes the Southwest Motors Event Center (the indoor arena formerly known as the Colorado State Fair Events Center from 1995–2012). Plan ahead, secure your seats, and enjoy a seamless experience with easy transit and nearby lodging and dining options in Pueblo.
