The Wild West show occupied 14 acres between 62nd and 63rd street on the south side of Chicago, between the train tracks and Stoney Island Boulevard. There were two shows each day - 3PM and 8PM, rain or shine.
The area is now mostly townhomes. The northern entrance to the grandstands is now a school.
