Does the rodeo shut down due to severe weather?

HOUSTON — In Houston, the possibility of severe weather is always lurking.

The rodeo said it has a command center that alerts staff, volunteers and the public when severe weather is imminent. They can do it in a few different ways:

During lightning and thunderstorms, rodeo officials will advise people to find safe shelter immediately unless they’re otherwise advised by security and emergency personnel.

Those who are outdoors during the severe weather events are advised to seek shelter in NRG Stadium, NRG Center and NRG Arena, whichever is most accessible.

Those who are inside when the weather hits should remain inside until cleared by security and safety personnel.
