COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Our fans spoke, we listened, and the result has been spectacular.
Less than two weeks after the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) announced that the 2020 Wrangler® National Finals Rodeo (NFR) – the greatest annual event on rodeo’s calendar – would move to Arlington, Texas, at Globe Life Field, December 3-12, 2020, all available seats at Globe Life Field were scooped up during pre-sale for season ticket holders and public sales this morning. With the Thomas & Mack Center at UNLV in Las Vegas, home to the NFR since 1985, unable to accommodate an event with fans in person this year, the PRCA polled fans and more

and local health authorities to design an event that will be safe and fun. The 2020 Wrangler® National Finals Rodeo is going to be one for the ages.” Tickets for the Wrangler NFR are being sold in blocks of four so that families and close friends can sit together safely. Each block of four seats will be separated to retain healthy physical distance for fans during the rodeo performances. Globe Life Field is working closely with state and local health officials and they have created a wait list for fans if additional tickets become available at www. texasrangers.com/NFR. Fans who sign up for the wait list will be given first opportunity to buy any tickets that might be made available. Limited suite rentals at Globe Life Field are still available for each performance.
