PBR World Finals Will Rock it Out!!

2016 PBR World Finals Rocks Out

Yes, I know it’s still over 100 degrees outside, but you gotta start looking towards the fall.  October 29 to November 6 to be exact.  That’s when our favorite sport shows up in Las Vegas.  That would be the Professional Bull Riders World Finals (PBR).  This year will mark the PBR’s 23 annual trek to Las Vegas to crown their champion.  And every year, they add a little more “something” to the mix to keep it more exciting, more alive and more interesting for the fans.  This year they move from the aged Thomas and Mack center to the larger, more modern T-Mobile arena.

This year will also be the first for a new, second-tier championship called the PBR BlueDEF Finals.  That will happen earlier in the week at the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center.

  • PBR BlueDef Finals at the South Point Arena – October 29 – 31 (Tickets)
  • PBR World Finals at T-Mobile Arena –  November 2 – 6 (Tickets)

One of the things we always love about the PBR World Finals is that they are never one event to stay where they are.  The new owners of the organization have added a bit more excitement than in past years.  Not only adding the BlueDef Finals to their week in Vegas but adding major musical acts to entertain and excite the fans.  This year we will see some new faces and crowd enthusiasm thats normally high, goes up a couple of notches as we see the new, up and coming athletes (both two and four-legged) that are getting the fans energized in the competition as the race to the finals tighten.

Not much being said thus far except for announcing some musical acts that will be performing in the arena for the fans as well as for free outside the T-Mobile arena, in the Toshiba Plaza, for free.  yes, we like that word.. Free..
