Dale Pahlke Rodeo Arena
2428 Longspur Trail
Dale Pahlke Arena at the Dakota Community Bank & Trust Rodeo Grounds
Project Description
Providing a permanent home for the annual professional rodeo in combination with other western and equestrian events bolsters Mandan’s claim to being “Where the West Begins”. Upgrades will get Mandan’s rodeo arena back to the stature it once was, allowing the Fourth of July event to grow and remain legendary! City of
Mandan visitor funds are providing a foundation on which to build, but additional support is needed for essential Phase I components.
Grandstands need to be larger and covered to improve the spectator experience. The permanency of the facility, along with ground and equipment improvements, will draw additional volunteers and attract even more top-notch contestants to further enhance the festival.
The Dale Pahlke Arena will feature a ticketing booth, open concept pavilion, digital board, larger arena with improved drainage, new fencing and gates, new announcer stand, audio visual system, 4,000 seat ADA accessible grandstand with covered canopies, open area for the potential to have food trucks, livestock pens, contestant warm-up area, future exhibit hall and a maintenance/storage shed. Dacotah Centennial Park updates will include accommodating ADA upgrades to the bleachers. The Dale Pahlke Arena and the existing Dacotah Centennial Park facility will share the existing parking lot.
