wow doesnt feel like it should be on the same list as the other 4 but that is awesome news.

Meanwhile the only thing I’ve heard about it since I last went is it went down the tubes…
But I guess you’re probably not getting an award for an all out shitshow like it was in the good ole days

Wow, they’ve come a long way since my day.

Yeah, I remember driving through a field of cow patties to park and walking to a set of old wooden bleachers to watch fratboys get tossed off bulls.
Apparently now it is a high dollar production with big name music acts that come in at night.

My experience was amateur hour as well years ago. That’s cool!

OG rodeo will never be rivaled. What a fantastic shitshow. The car lines stretching down south college tailgating in truck beds was so much fun. It is a shell of its former self now.

It was a blast. Just drag a keg out in the field, drink and party all day long while watching a poor skinny bull try to throw some 400 lb AG guy.

Post-rodeo 2012 I had borderline alcohol poisoning. I’d do it again in a heartbeat

Lol it must've came a long way since my college days

I figured with how crazy it had gotten they’d eventually have to make some changes. Some of my best memories. Where is it held now?

I think it moved around some from back in the day. Now it looks like it is held down off US-80 south of Beauregard - between Marvyn and Little Texas - almost a straight line due south of Chewacla.

How can a frat house goat riding contest, rival the last full week of July in Cheyenne?

It can't. As mentioned by someone above, Auburn Rodeo seems out of place with any of the other 4 nominees. But they do apparently pull talent for the concert and draw a crowd.
But Cheyenne is on another level. I've been once, and I'll sell my house to go back the next time George Strait is one of the music acts for Frontier Nights. I've see him multiple times live, but him in Cheyenne is a bucket list item.

I lived there. You don't go to the Rodeo until the last two days .... after the future Rodeo stars have been eliminated.
I went to the Calgary Stampede. Because my Rep had tickets for me ....after she learned that I really enjoyed Frontier Days. To show you how long ago that was ....Roy Rogers Sons of the Pioneers group was still playing as one of the feature bands.

Have you heard what constitutes for country music now days? It’s pop with worse voices.. less country means more award nominations now days

Back in the day, it was Sons of the Pioneers and Hank Williams Jr.
While there my Dad was called to investigate a Thunderbird's Plane Crash. The promotions Officer flies in three days before the team comes in. We were in a massive thunderstorm, the passenger plane that landed before he came in hydroplaned and barely got stopped. The tower decided to bring the fighter in ...He hydroplaned, went to afterburners to get back up, hit the trees at the end of the runway, sheared off the wings and spun down the driveway between all the rodeo RV's without hitting anything. They both ejected, the pilot was fired straight into the ground and his second seat into a hot dog stand. Papers called the pilot a hero ....after losing the wings, he was nothing but a unguided missile.
Don't have to say the widows ...almost owned the airport and the City for a long time.
