ALWAYS LIKED THIS EVENT..... STILL DO AFTER ONE OF FIVE ROUNDS AT THE
T-MOBILE ARENA LAS VEGAS STRIP.
FOLLOWING ARE THE USUAL THOUGHTS AND RANDOM REACTIONS TO THE EVENT.
I HATE CHANGE AND THIS MY FIRST VISIT TO THE T-MOBILE ARENA....I WAS
PROGRAMMED TO NOT LIKE IT....THERE WERE ISSUES...
IN LOVE WITH THE PERFECT THOMAS AND MACK ARENA UNLV CAMPUS FOR
MANY YEARS....IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE THERE AND THEY DIDN'T.
NOT BAD HERE .....JUST NEW....AND HARD TO GET TO...
40 RIDERS TONIGHT ONLY 6 OF THE FIRST 28 RODE...THEN 6 OF THE LAST 12
KAIQUE PACHEO LEADER COMING IN AND LAST TO RIDE AND DID ON ORGANIZED
CRIME FOR 84.25..
CHASE OUTLAW 89.5 TOOK THE ROUND..
INTERESTING COMPLICATED SCORING FOR THE ROUND AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP
ARENA ANNOUCERS WILL LET YOU KNOW..
ADVERTISED AT 630 KICKOFF....I LEFT THE ORLEANS AT 350.....20 MINUTE WALK
FROM PARKING.....SMALL PRESS ROOM (NO PEPSI HERE)...IN THE BUILDING AT 415...ENTERED THE ARENA
AT 620 AND ENDURED OVER 30 MINUTES OF THE WORST NOISE ON EARTH....WHEN
I GET TO HELL THIS IS WHAT THE WILL PLAY FOR ETERENITY AND LOUD AND LOUD AND LOUD..
NOBODY LIKES THIS...AT 702 THEY INTRODUCED THE RIDERS AND THEN ANOTHER
OVER DOSE OF THIS NEAR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WHILE 39 RIDERS STOOD IN THE
ARENA...ANTZY TO GO....WHILE PLUGGING THEIR EARS LIKE ME..
7:20 BEFORE WE SAW A BULL.....GREAT PLANNING WOULD ALLOW ONE TO ENTER
50 MINUTES AFTER THE ADVERTIZED KICK OFF.
ANYWAY.....I LOVE THE EVENT AND THE WORLD CLASS ENTERTAINER FLINT
RASMUSSON....HE IS A GLAD YOU WENT DEAL IN HIMSELF...
BEING A JOURNALIST I LOVED THE RING ANNOUNCERS CLINT ADKINS AND BRANDON BATES....ALWAYS ON TOP OF IT AND ALWAYS ACCURATE...
18,000 ISH ARENA ...MAYBE HALF....MELLOW CROWD TONIGHT 4 DATES TO GO..
DID NOT SELL OUT THE ARENA AT THE T & M AND ARE GIVING AWAY TICKETS
ON WEB SITE FILASEATS HERE...
WAITED FOR 28 RIDERS TO GO BEFORE THEY RAKED THE ARENA WITH THEIR
BOBCAT GRADERS..... FOR SOME REASON I LIKE THE WAY THESE TWO WORK...
SHOWED A VIDEO OF ARENA SET UP IN FAST FORWARD...EXCELLENT...
LOTS OF GIVEAWAYS IN THE USUAL FAN FRIENDLY PATTERN....GOT LOVE IT...
PBR BROUGHT THEIR OWN 4 SUPER SCREENS IN HIGH DEF FOR INFO AND
REPLAYS AT THE THOMAS AND MACK....NOT HERE ....FOUR SIDED ARENA VIDEO
BOX MAYBE AN EIGHTH THE SIZE.....NOTABLE DOWNSIZING....HIGH DEF WAS GOOD.
GAVE AWAY A BOAT TO ONE OF THE RIDERS STETSON LAWRENCE...ASKED
HIM HOW HE LIKED IT....HE SAID..."WELL WE ONLY HAVE THREE MONTHS OF
FISHING IN NORTH DAKOTA"....BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT....HE WON TWO YEARS
AGO....BLIND DRAW...AMAZING...
ARENA SET UP FOR CLOCK...STANDINGS AND INFO.....NEEDS UPSIZING AND
RESTRUCTING....
A NEW PBR RULE NOW STATES THAT ALL NEW RIDERS BORN AFTER 1998 HAVE TO
WEAR A HELMET....GREAT IDEA....SOME STILL DON'T...
SCARY MOMENT FOR AARON ROY....8TH OF THE NIGHT ....8TH OFF....GOT TIED UP
AND BULL FIGHTERS HAD A TOUGH TIME GETTING HIM OUT....BULL ROLLED OVER
ON HIM.....SILENCE...STILL....NECK BRACE...STRETCHER....ANNOUNCED BROKEN
FEMUR....OUT OF THE EVENT...WISH HIM A GOOD RECOVERY.
TONS OF MERCHANDIZE AND MARKETING ON THE CONCOURSE.....GREAT PBR EFFORT...
ONLY 4 RIDERS GO BEFORE A COMMERICAL TV BREAK....HERE WOULD BE THE
PENULTIMATE REASON TO WATCH ON TV WITH 9 OF THESE BREAKS AND AN
INTERMISSION..
RAN OUT OF THREE CHUTES TONIGHT ....THE UNNECESSARY STAGE IN THE
FOURTH CORNER...ONLY TWO AT THE T & M
T-MOBILE ...BIG......HIGH ....ROOMY....VERY CLEAN
I LOVE THIS ACTION IN ITSELF.....GREAT EVENT.....WORKING ON HITTING KICKOFF RIGHT ON THE NOSE....I GOT PARKING....I WAS THE SECOND OLDEST IN THE ARENA
NEXT TO THE COOPER FAN OF THE NIGHT WHO WAS HONORED ON HIS 84 BIRTHDAY...SALUTE...
F FOR BEING SO LATE...
