What is The American Rodeo event?
The American Rodeo is an annual rodeo competition held during the first weekend in March at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. However, from 2023, the event has moved to the Globe Life Field where the Rangers play. Every year, since 2014, rodeo professionals, cowboys, and cowgirls take the dirt to rope and race towards a winner-take-all showdown. 2023 marks the 10th year anniversary of popular event.
The competitions span more than 8 rodeo disciplines, including Tie-Down Roping, Breakaway Roping, Barrel Racing, Team Roping, Rough Stock, and Steer Wrestling. Winners of each discipline also stand the chance to compete for the $1 million bonus this year.
