 The event was absolutely amazing. I was a vendor, but the lighting poll was completely out, so I had to pack up early due to the lighting. I would love to return as a vendor again.

 The event was visionary! The music, food, games, horse riding bull riding, and culturally festive atmosphere was excellent. I'm proud to have attended this first annual Dayton Black Rodeo event.

 5-Stars! It was outstanding. The only thing I would add is having signage on where the areas are and/or having a placard with the Event agenda on it. I plan to attend again if it comes back to Dayton.

 Major operation management failings: - technology failure at front gate for ticket entry - no directional support or signage - No horseback riding or notice of cancellation - No coverage for DJs and their equipment - Food trucks weren’t ready nor was mechanical Bull ride - Not the proper dirt for the horses; one almost got injured - Nothing to do for adults besides eat and wait for rodeo

 Over all great time. The lines to enter the stadium were very busy and confusing at times. The person scanning tickets should have a partner with them to add wristbands to help The line move along or to keep from having to explain you already had your ticket scanned and who scanned it. There should be a separate line for those that already have a wrist band to enter or a rope to Separate them and people know where the reentry line.

 I liked the experience and the event. Whenever the hosts mom got on the microphone to explain the costs that explanation was very much winded and could have been shorter. While we love the vision that she had, it may need to be adjusted. One thing to consider is the economy and the clientele of Dayton. Country workers can make as little as $17 while other jobs pay even less in the community. That makes attending an event where one ticket total cost would be $100 impossible.

 I purchased the early bird tickets, weeks later the tickets were on sale for cheaper than what I purchased this defeats the purpose and benefit of purchasing early. I commend the organization for bringing this event to Dayton I do believe more knowledgeable workers should have been available to direct people where to go instead of a more follow the leader atmosphere. There also should have been a more organized approach to the long lines and purchasing tickets if need be.

 It was a good first event. There are things to improve, such as : - clear signage. Where is the entrance to parking? Where is the entrance to the event (ie, through security)? There should be separate lines for those who pre-purchased tickets and those buying at the event. Or at least some indication of what to do if your ticket was scanned: my ticket was scanned before I parked but I waited in line for 20 mins. Also, a printed schedule of event, plus a vendor directory.

 The event was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT, because I came to see the Rodeo and you couldn't hear or see the event due lack of seating and/or music being played during the event. We drove 3 hours to this event and were disappointed.

 There was a miscommunication somewhere and We were informed after setup that we could not serve alcohol at our tent. After while we got things figured out but the situation was very frustrating.

 Too many login screens and information is harder to hone in on a majority dark background. Ticket data a bit confusing based on what adult plus child means. It was strange when being scanned.

 I had a good experience, the only problem was the actual Rodeo. We could not see due to many standing in front of us that were seated. That was the main attraction for my family and I and there were 11 of us who were in attendance. Once we returned to the field to watch it on the big screen there was no commentary. The event was phenomenal and we plan to attend next year.

 There were some things that should be addressed before next year: First, the line situation at the entrance, a line for ppl that still needed to get tickets separate from those had them/Investing in a ticket scanner!!! Second, possibly sell water/drink while ppl are waiting in long lines. A young lady in the line did faint. Lastly, there was no ambulance standing by for medical emergencies.

 charge to much for tickets I brought mind at the beginning as a senior and was charged 65 dollars where as I purchased your 10 pack only to find out later the prices were reduce. Also at the beginning it stated that all children were 45 dollars and i paid that extra for my 5 year old grand daughter and then find out she was suppose to be free. That changed alot with me about supporting you guys

 The event was extremely well put together being the first.The marketing was great. The time & effort it took to motivate the city to feel safe coming to an event that would be for them to enjoy with family and friends.There were minor things that could be adjusted but overall for the first event it went very well.I’m excited to see how much this event will grow and expand. I want to thank everyone who was apart of the machine that made this event possible . Job Well Done!

 Overall, the event has potential but needs better organization and operations management to keep your customers engaged at all age levels. Keeping the rodeo members visible I think should be done as well like a parade or something with the riders and animals. I’m happy to see something like this brought to Dayton, but it could’ve been executed better.

 If one wants to also bring their family members it would be even more. To put this in perspective I recently brought convert tickets to see big Sean and Miguel and those tickets with insurance were $88. Tickets to see khelani were also around that price range. I would love to see this event next year and I loved the food vendors that were present. The location of the area for the cowboys should be changed to inside the arena so that a good view for the show is had.

How did you like the event?

 The event was great. I loved the vendors and of course the rodeo. I will say it was difficult to see on the rodeo side and when it was live streamed you couldn't hear it. I was also a little upset that I purchased my ticket early and paid the full price but others attended, purchased later, and got their tickets for a fraction of the price. Next time to rectify this at least offer a VIP swag bag or something. I just felt like I was punished for purchasing ear

 Needed more and higher stadium seating around the rodeo events. Better speakers: it was difficult to hear announcers. Again, more signage (white sheets with info printed and taped up will work). Also suggest a dedicated seating area for families to be sure children have seating. Needed map or signage: where to go once we get through security?

I also believe seating for the arena was an issue. Next year, higher bleachers would be a great addition. The vendors did not disappoint and the concert was fun. Overall a 7.5/10

How did you like the event?

 First, the parking should be cash only the day of the show, attempting to utilize Cash App, Venmo and Zelle led to long lines. Secondly, there should have been separate lines for prepaid guests and guests needing purchase tickets. Third, When and how where VIP tickets available? Finally, the main event (The Rodeo) wasn't able to be viewed and HEARD on the stadium field due to the music. This was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT.

 LOVED THIS EVENT! CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR! Rodeo may be my new favorite sport! All of the athletes were so cool! They put on quite a show! 😍💖 GOD BLESS THEM! Don’t take Cincinnati personally a lot of us don’t know spectator Etiquette. (You should see us at the Macy’s music festival 😅) The north did a number on us up here! Thank you to the commentators for helping us understand what to do when! 💕✨

How did you like the event?

 We loved the event. Plenty of food vendors, not much of variety. The rodeo would’ve been best on half the field for better viewing options. The DJ instigating after 8p was GREAT!! That’s what really brought this to life. More of that during the day and throughout would’ve made there event even more grand. Maybe add local artist, drill teams, marching bands, or other types performers/artists.

How did you like the event?

 The event was phenomenal, as most initial events there always links to work out. I was unable to see the actual Rodeo due to seating and people standing, so we went back to the field to watch it on the big screen but we could not hear the commentary the DJ kept playing music. Perhaps the rodeo needs to happen inside of the actual stadium where we all can sit in the stands to watch if permissible. Thank you for bringing this awesome event to Dayton Ohio. See you next year.

 Next year there should be separate lines to enter the parking lot and separate lines to enter the event for those who prepaid and those who didn't. It took a long time to get into the event after arriving. Great event overall!

How did you like the event?

 There should’ve been a schedule on the website. Ex. Rodeo starts at 3:00, performance at 5:00 etc. Events were missed due to this. Also, check in at the door was an unorganized mess. Tickets weren’t all being scanned, and many people were just walking right in. Lastly, making people pay for parking passes when welcome stadium has free parking is very scam like behavior! The parking attendant didn’t even check for parking passes or proof of payment.
