I wonder if some of the performers might be wanting to back out?
Wouldn't happen if you had real performers who played good music.

14 cases in the Houston area out of what, 3 million people? Stupid decision.
Could be that they decided to shut down because the official numbers are complete BS. The Houston lab has run maybe 75 tests since they went operational last week.
Stock show is still up and running and checking in animals. Will be interesting to see what happens there
This...in my "idiotic, selfish post" I was primarily focused on the entertainment portion. Operating under the assumption that prize animals would still be sold etc. Would like to know more...elfurioso92 said:

So kpop closes the show?
It's a charity event that raises money for scholarships, not a for profit concert series.
It's not my personal preference, but I get why they do it, and ultimately it's better for the kids to get more scholarships, no?

Yep...if they really want to raise max money they could do ALL pop/latino/rap/R&B...I think eventually this is where we end up. Maybe with 1 (2 max) designated nights for country music. Instead of the other way around like it used to be.Waltonloads08 said:

For someone who hates to be "that guy", you sure are "that guy" pretty often. I hope you're not the insufferable, narrowminded, bigoted ******* in person that you are online. You must be pretty miserable.Boo Weekley said:
I hate to be "that guy", but I am kind of glad this is happening. Selfishly, I hope it knocks HLSR down a peg or two. As someone who would like to see more Cody Jinks and Jamey Johnson type acts and fewer homo erotic K-pop bands and Bad Bunny wannabes.
And we all get spared Lizzo's fat naked body! This is great for everyone.
I really do feel bad for the volunteers etc. But maybe we can go back to having badass country and classic rock acts and one day for the Tejanos.
Username checks out.

I think it's smart to not oversaturate with one genre, and overall attendance reflects the benefits of mixing it up. You are looking at it from a musical purist prospective, and I from a revenue maximization prospective. Sure it's weird that EDM has a night, but weird is what sells, not lining up singer after singer crooning about beer and his gal (Im a big country fan, so just making fun of myself too here).
Is it too late to recall the Mayoral election? Single case of community spread in a separate county to declare a health emergency?
So how much money does the city and county get for these emergency declarations?!
Forced to shut down by the city.

In the interest of public health, the City of Houston and the Houston Health Department have ordered the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo to close. The Rodeo will respectfully and dutifully comply with the City's order.
The Rodeo is deeply saddened; however, the safety and well-being of our guests and our community is our top priority. Out of precaution, the City has decided that this is the best course of action for our community.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has been a fabric of this community since 1932. Having to close early is extremely difficult as guests, volunteers, exhibitors, rodeo athletes and entertainers look forward to the 20 days of the Rodeo each year.
We look forward to the 2021 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo to continue to promote agriculture, education, entertainment and Western heritage. We will provide additional information as it becomes available. Updates will be posted at rodeohouston.com/2020.
Yes, very clear this was not the intent of HLSR. This was a City decision.aTm2004 said:

Has anybody said specifically that the livestock show, specifically the steer show, part is shut down as well?
I'd imagine Lina "My Eyes Are Up Here" Hildago and Sylvester "Mitchelow Ultra" Turner forced it all. Good job Beta *******, you elected fear mongering asshats who go off of feels.
All public events will cease on grounds effective 4pm today.jschroeder said:

It is now being reported that one of the current local people with the virus was at the BBQ cookoff friday night
So the Montgomery county guy who tested positive was at cook off on Feb. 28th ?

I sure hope they still have the Livestock Show, my daughter is showing an animal this weekend. She has worked her ass off for this to be shutdown, I don't care if she has to show in an empty arena, but she has earned that right to show her animal.

Go to the -22min mark to hear from the Rodeo spokesman.

Re: scholarships: they will be fulfilling annual contribution and commitment to youth and education.
Can they seriously not hold the livestock show somewhere else??? Carnival, vendors, and concerts aside, the stock show is the reason for the whole thing! Those kids and their families have spent THOUSANDS of dollars on their animals.
Extension agents are telling kids it is cancelled.
**** people griping about rodeo ticket refunds. Those kids are absolutely screwed.

His quote basically " We do have livestock and horse shows ongoing that will be winding down today as well."

That's a damn shame, I would hope they could pivot and find a place outside of the city where they could show their animals.
What a joke. Shutting down rodeo over the sniffles. I can only assume it is in Mayor Turner's best financial interest to shut down the rodeo since that is the only way he knows how to make decisions. The only questions I have are who is paying him and why?
It's not about location.
It's about the gathering of lots of people.

I understand, the City has shut it down, but they could do it outside of the city and limit the number of people that can attend. I am not asking for thousands of people to be around, I am asking for limited amount of people to attend and allow these kids to show off what they have accomplished.
