Rodeo Houston 2018 (from Sergeant Michael Ortiz)

The 2018 Houston Rodeo World Championship BBQ Cook-Off begins tonight and runs through the weekend. If you live or will be traveling in the area of NRG Stadium, expect traffic delays beginning this evening. The Rodeo officially begins on Tuesday, February 27 and runs every day through Sunday, March 20. Be prepared for road closures and traffic delays throughout the duration of the Rodeo.

If you plan on attending any day of the Rodeo and do not have a parking pass, several off site parking options are available. Please remember, DO NOT leave any valuables inside your vehicle, ESPECIALLY FIREARMS!!!

Lastly, with so many ride options available (Such as Uber / Lyft & Taxi) there is ABSOLUTELY NO excuse for getting behind the wheel if you have had too much to drink. Your life and the lives of others on the roadway are too valuable to put at risk. It’s just not worth it.

I hope everyone as a fun and safe Rodeo Season.
