The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is widely regarded as one of the most enjoyable events in Houston and the Southern United States. However, this year it has come under online criticism, not for any fault of its own, but rather because of the clothing choices of some of its attendees.
The Rodeo has taken steps to address that. As of Monday night, according to FOX 26, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has implemented a dress code policy. Added to the Rodeo's Code of Conduct on Monday night was a lengthy dress code outlining general attire expectations for those attending the Show.
Rodeo officials told FOX 26 "This is a family-friendly event, and we expect guests to act accordingly, including wearing appropriate attire and demonstrating behavior that reflects the spirit of the Rodeo. To reinforce that expectation, we have updated our dress code within our fan code of conduct. Every guest agrees to this code when purchasing a ticket to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and it is also clearly available on our website. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a family-friendly event, and we want every guest, especially young people, to have a safe and memorable experience. We will not allow disruptive behavior or inappropriate attire to take away from the experience that millions of families come here to enjoy."
"Proper attire must be worn on HLSR Show grounds at all times, including shirts and appropriate footwear. HLSR reserves the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or attire that could detract from the experience with other guests. Clothing that is not appropriate for the HLSR Show grounds includes, but is not limited to, clothing with objectionable material (including obscene language or graphics), excessively torn cloth, visible undergarments, and/or clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment. Wearing clothing, visible tattoos or any other attire bearing the name, insignia, colors, or other indicia of affiliation to a criminal street gang is prohibited on HLSR Show grounds."
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is entering its last week at NRG Park, but the action isn't winding down just yet, with performances by Lainey Wilson, Parker McCollum, and Tim McGraw still on the schedule. To close out the season with a concert-only performance by Cody Johnson with Jon Pardi and Randy Houser scheduled for Sunday evening.
