TheWill Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) is a 120-acre (0.49 km²) American public entertainment, sports and livestock complex located inFort Worth, Texas. It is named for American humorist and writerWill Rogers. It is a popular location for the hosting of specialized equestrian and livestock shows, including the annualFort Worth Stock Show, the annualNational Reined Cow Horse Association Snaffle Bit Futurity, the World Championship Paint Horse Show, and three major events of theNational Cutting Horse Association each year. It is also the former home of theFort Worth Texans ice hockey team, and it hosted aPBR Bud Light Cup Series (laterBuilt Ford Tough Series) event annually from 1995 through 2004.^[2] Events at the WRMC attract over two million visitors annually. The complex contains the following facilities:

The Memorial Center was built in 1936 and designed byarchitect Wyatt C. Hedrick, who employed theModerne (Art Deco) style. Also in 1936,Amon G. Carter commissionedElectra Waggoner Biggs to create the statueRiding into the Sunset, a tribute to Will Rogers and his horse Soapsuds. Over a decade later, in 1947, the work was unveiled at the Center.^[3] On March 22, 2016, the complex was placed on theNational Register of Historic Places.

Will Rogers Memorial Coliseum was the home of theFort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo for many years. The rodeo is sanctioned by theProfessional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).Dickies Arena, which opened in November 2019, is located adjacent to the complex. The 14,000-seat venue has hosted the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo since 2020, as well as concerts and early-round games in the2022 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament; however, Will Rogers Memorial Center continues to operate as an equestrian arena in Fort Worth.^[4]
