Fort Worth Rodeo Goes Super High Tech With App

Fort Worth Rodeo Goes Super High Tech With App:

Taking the show in a “Smart” new direction


FORT WORTH, TEXAS (FWLSR) – The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo has announced its first-ever smart phone application. With this free “app”, users can navigate their way around the Stock Show grounds, find the next real-time event or plan an entire day at the Show.


The application is now available for Apple and Android users in their respective markets.


The new “smart” phone application acts as an interactive guide to the legendary event featuring: GPS functionality, parking maps, a daily schedule of events and many other user friendly functions. With five fully functional menu selections: Find Us, Schedule, Live Music, Activities and More, attending events and planning a Show schedule is more convenient.


Other features of the app include: a daily schedule of activities; customizable schedules; Rodeo Roadhouse and Frost Stage lineups; a Guest Services option – including ATM, First Aid and Lost and Found locations and plenty of maps to navigate your favorite Show areas. One of the most interactive features allows users to access their facebook and twitter pages right from the application. Another feature, Friend Finder, can actually pin point a friend on the Show grounds.


“We are proud to maintain the rich heritage and traditions of the Stock Show, while embracing these amazing advances in technology to enhance our visitor’s experience,” said Brad Barnes, the Stock Show’s president and general manager.
