By the way San Angelo is going forward with the full rodeo, stock show, midway, the whole deal this year.






Some events are being carried live on RFDTV if you're feeling nostalgic.
Also on something called the Cowboy Channel: https://www.facebook.com/sanangelostockshowandrodeo/

Would love to hear the actual reasoning behind it. My guess is that Hidalgo wanted one more final "look how careful I am" feather in her hat for whatever office she's running for next and made then cancel. County owns the stadium so they could have easily worked with the rodeo to make it work with smaller crowds. 3 months is a really long way away given how quickly vaccines are ramping up.
Wonder why rodeos are more likely to spread the virus than football games?


Because they will say that's where it all started.

So THIS one is his last one...Until the next time he comes back.

Considering the circumstances with the rodeo over the last couple of years and the impact it had on his career, he probably feels obligated to do something. And they probably offered him an insane amount of money to get a top headliner on the books.

Oh I don't blame them for getting him again.

It's just funny each time it's talked up like it's his last one. Like it's 'This cowboy's last ride' but nope a couple years later and here he is again.

Yeah, laaaast time...for this year.

I doubt he'll tour again. An occasional show for $1mm+ will be the norm.

To be fair, he never said he was retiring, just want going to tour anymore. Although the first time the rodeo did market it as the last time he would be there.

I'm sure he'll probably still do some Vegas shows here and there That's 3-4 weekends a year for probably an absurd amount of money. I saw him there a few years back and he did all 60 of his #1 songs on back to back nights at the T-Mobile arena on the strip. Definitely one of the best concerts I've been to.

I have my season tickets, but I'm leaning hard towards selling them. I'd be more interested if they got Lyle and REK back to open, instead of whoever it was they got.

Floor and nosebleeds are the only thing that was available, everything else is season tickets.

No floor when I got in at 10:11. Sent me to the rafters

The Honorable Mayor Turner and Honorable Harris County Judge Hidalgo have said not NO but HELL NO.


This is mainly a big deal for white people. Neither of them give a **** about whitey.

You haven't volunteered or set foot in the carnival in decades, have you?

Does anyone happen to have 4 on the aisle in Club Level they would be willing to swap for 4 in section 340?

So I guess I'm not too hip to current country music trends or FM radio in general. Is Cody Johnson a big enough star to require a presale and online waiting room, or is the email today just to pump up volunteers to buy tickets?

He's pretty damn big. But it's also being done to build up excitement for the 2022 season

I have no knowledge of this but I'd guess the timing of the George Strait and Cody Johnson pre-sales is to get some cash in the bank sooner than normal. Last couple of years have hurt cash flow.

It's a smart move.

I cant remember if he sold out the fill in show he did, but he has been a sell out ever since

they are marketing the crap out of HLSR 2022 already. Each week there are different announcements.

I was talking with the season ticket office the other day and they said they're going to be announcing the performers one at at time this year instead of the typical dump in Jan.

The frequency and volume of emails lately have started to make me feel like a real rodeo insider.

Makes sense though, since a lot of us had nothing to do this Spring and weren't around to see stuff that we would normally see in person. I wonder what the volunteer retention will look like. We had some new people last year that I hope we don't lose. Good that the leadership understands the challenge. Might take some unusual work on the part of captains.

Indeed, I am getting some spam in my email because I was a past season ticket holder

Those part of HLSR must be worrying given Lina Hidalgo and Sylvester Turner are key decision makers for their event.

The odds just improved. Bun B might make Lina and Rodney Ellis think twice about putting the kibosh on the big cracker party.

Fair enough. It was hyperbole so shouldn't have used absolutes. Point remains though.

I assumed it was sarcasm, because that's gonna be the most Tine board of all tine board nights of HLSR ever.
