Sad Rodeo
Cow Palace - Daly City
It was the first time for me and my family going to a rodeo , it sounded like fun and since we were on vacation in San Francisco and it was at something called the cow palace we decided to go. We purchased tickets for the pre show BBQ and expected good simple food and exiting show. The food was old BBQ brought in aluminum foil trays and the show was mediocre It was very disappointing

It was amazing my family and friends had a great time unfortunately it was raining but we still enjoyed our time. I hope to come back at the next Cow Palace rodeo.

Great time @ Grand National Rodeo
Cow Palace - Daly City
My husband and I really enjoy this Rodeo. We have gone for years but this year was really special because we took our six year old grandson. He had a great time. He rode the mechanical bull, played with toy tractors, sat on real tractors and even milked a (fake) cow! All this before we even sat down for the Rodeo! We all enjoyed the Rodeo, including the wild mustang show and the Clydesdale horses!

COW PALACE RODEO, 2016
Cow Palace - Daly City
The real cowboy rodeo events were great but the announcer and his blabbermouth companion talked way to much and brought so much non-rodeo stuff into the program that I almost walked out. Like crowd views with questions and answers from attendees. I am an old cowboy rodeo participant and fan and got my start at the Palace 70 years ago, doubt if I will ever go back.

Best Rodeo west of Vegas!!
Cow Palace - Daly City
You just can't beat the Cow Palace for a Rodeo venue..I've gone every year and wouldn't miss it. Great new clown on the ground throughout the show. Amazing Bull jumper at the end.....jumping and doing dive rolls and somersaults over the back of a charging Mexican fighting bull. Drill team was great, and the California Crush Clydesdales were wonderful. I love the Mustang rescue show with the rescue dogs, too. We watched the dancers in the market afterwards until midnight . Going again this next weekend, too.

Not a real rodeo
Cow Palace - Daly City
I was disappointed to find this was just a rode "show/performance", and not a true rodeo with cowboys and cowgirls competing for purses or qualifying for other rodeos. The individual events were relatively short, with a lot of misses during the roping demonstration.

Announcers not engaged at Grand National Rodeo
Cow Palace - Daly City
My husband and I went to our first rodeo last weekend at the Cow Palace in Daly City, CA. The atmosphere and events were interesting and really exciting. I wouldn't go so far as to say the announcers ruined it, but they were difficult to understand. What was discernable was just "talking" and not announcing. For example, you might expect an announcer to say something like, "up next in the chute, we have Bob Smith from Chico, CA riding 2 year old Bruiser. Bob is ranked 3rd going into this event......Bruiser is known for....." Nothing like that. They just talked and then kept talking as the rider came out of the chute and bucked on the bull for a short time. Very disappointing. It would have been way better without them. And the music they played was odd as well. The crowd, the kids, the events, even the food was fun. We'd go again and only hope the announcers get a clue!

Grand National Rodeo
Cow Palace - Daly City
Rodeo is always a fun event. I would like to see it expanded...more market place vendors, more food vendors, more pre-rodeo entertainment. Also more entries in each event...specifically barrel racing.

This is supposed to be the best rodeo. I have seen better rodeos in smaller towns. No clowns, no special shows, just bronc, bull riding, steer wrestling & team roping. I'm 55 and have participated and attended at the Grand Nationals numerous times in the past 45 years. Have seen a-lot of good rodeos/horse shows. Will not go again to the Grand Nationals. Makes me sad.
