The San Angelo Rodeo is on as as scheduled. And not only that, it will be held at 100 percent capacity with an additional $100,000 in prize money added.
This is big news for athletes as San Angelo is rich in Western heritage and several cowboys and cowgirls have this circled on their calendars every year.
“West Texans love rodeo as much if not more, than any other group of people, and they know what a good rodeo is. This is one of the only, if not only, location in the world that tie-down ropers get a louder cheer from the crowd than a bull rider. The fan base truly understands the work cowboys and cowgirls put into this career, and stand behind them completely,” the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo wrote on its website.
The rodeo will take place from April 9-24 at Foster Communications Coliseum. In December, the rodeo was pushed back from its usual February start date.
Overall, $500,000 will be paid out.
