Arena Circle & Roadway Improvements

Arena Circle was relocated to the outer edge of the parking area in summer 2023. Relocating Arena Circle created two new entrance and exit points on the southwest and northern boundaries of the property. This shift improves traffic flow through the complex and enhances the safety of visitors moving between facilities at The Ranch.

 

  •  Construction on three additional minor roads through the campus were completed in summer 2023. The minor roads provide easy access to specific buildings and parking areas. These include:
    • Richard Rule Road on the northwest side of the campus, adjacent to the 4-H, Youth, and Community Livestock Arena.
    •  Show Ring Road on the northeast side of the campus, which allows trailer access from Andalusian Road to the Mac Equipment, Inc. Indoor Arena.
    • Clydesdale Parkway on the south side of the campus, which connects to Crossroads Boulevard and offers an additional entrance and exit point for events.
  •  The relocation provides better control over access and parking coordination during multiple concurrent events. It also allows for the expansion of the core campus to accommodate future buildings.
  • The old Arena Circle has become a service road for back-of-house services.
  •  A temporary access road will be added to Lot AA north to allow for easy access for 4-H, youth and community events at the McKee 4-H Building. The access road will be available for use in early 2024.
  •  We are looking to increase Lot E to accommodate more guest parking. Also added a dedicated staff parking area.
  •  Adding easier access from Lot E to Andalusian Road with the expansion of Lot E.

Arena Circle Updates

Arena Circle was completed in summer 2023. Visitors are now advised to use the two new entrances on the southwest and northern boundaries of the property at Andalusian Drive, and Fairgrounds Avenue and Arena Circle. The new intersection light at Andalusian Drive and Fairgrounds Avenue increases safety and efficiency for visitors enter and exiting events. The intersection light at Arena Circle and Fairgrounds Avenue will ease ingress and egress for events and is the new main entrance for the Complex.
