The Cowtown Coliseum is a 3,418-seat multi-purpose arena in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. The Coliseum hosts weekly rodeos. It hosts local sporting events and concerts and began hosting the Fort Worth Sixers of the National Indoor Football League starting in 2007.

The venue was built in 1908 and was refurbished in 1986. Elvis Presley once performed there.[citation needed] Part of the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, the structure is the first ever indoor arena for rodeos in the United States.[citation needed] The PBR held their first Bud Light Cup Series bull riding event at the Coliseum to begin its inaugural season (1994),[1] and later returned to Cowtown for the first time since that year to host an Unleash the Beast Series event in February 2021.

The Coliseum also houses the Bull Riding Hall of Fame.
