National Finals Rodeo 2020 moving from Vegas to Texas Rangers stadium

Well that dipshit governor of Nevada is on a roll. No rally, as we know how a Trump rally can be, for Trump and now no finals rodeo for the PRCA. The governor and his EO of no events with more than 50 people in attendance is really cutting his fat hog in the arse. Of course the casinos are running at 50% capacity. That is okay. FWIW, the rodeo is the highest money grossing event for the year in Vegas.

This year’s National Finals Rodeo will move from Las Vegas to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association and Texas Rangers officials have called a news conference Wednesday morning at which they will announce the temporary relocation.

PRCA CEO George Taylor did not return a call seeking comment. But Texas Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed the move in a tweet Tuesday night, adding, “This event belongs in Texas!”

The NFR has been held in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center since moving from Oklahoma City in 1985, selling out 10 nights of events every year and filling local hotels. But state restrictions limiting ticket sales to live sporting events amid the coronavirus pandemic has fueled speculation the PRCA would seek an alternative site for this year’s rodeo.

Las Vegas Events annually projects 17,000 people in attendance at every performance at Thomas & Mack, or 170,000 total. The event has an economic impact of an estimated $200 million every year.
