I love big sky country, ranches, horses, wide open fields, the prairies, etc. I just don't see any of it at that stupid 1960s concrete jungle they call Stampede Park! The sky is obscured by the smoke from dozens of overpriced corn dog carts and outdated plastic seat gondolas that are way past their age. The mountains are obscured by the concrete brutalism that is the Rodeo grandstands and the horrific Casino. It's mostly that park I hate. I think it has no aesthetic value and is just ugly.
