The American Rodeo is an annual event that has taken place during the first weekend in March since 2014 in Arlington, Texas.[1]

History

The American Rodeo or RFD-TV’s The American debuted in 2014.[1]

Current day rodeo

The American Rodeo is an annual western sports and entertainment experience that occurs each year at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and represents the richest weekend event (it started as a one-day event) in all of western sports. Over the course of qualifier events across the country, competitors will all battle for what could be the biggest two-day paycheck of their careers. Owned by Teton Ridge, The American is a true open competition in format, the iconic event brings together top professional rodeo athletes and hardworking cowboys and cowgirls in a winner-take-all showdown, meant to crown the finest talent the world has to offer.[citation needed]

Occurring annually at AT&T Stadium the treasured Sunday event represents the richest two-day event in all of western sports. In just nine short years since its inception, The American payout earnings have rivaled that of the Kentucky Derby, with an unmatched total purse of more than $3 million in 2022.[citation needed]

From the preliminary rounds beginning in late February, the top competitors advance to the Qualifier Semifinals and then will compete in the “Contender Round” Finals for a chance to move on to AT&T Stadium and their chance to become a champion, earning what could be the biggest two-day paycheck of their careers.[citation needed]

The Top 10 athletes who make it to 2022’s final field on Sunday will be eligible for their discipline’s $100,000 prize money and will also have their shot at the bonus millions.[citation needed]
