The GRAMMY award-winning duo will perform live in-arena before the final round on Championship Sunday.

 

The American, is an iconic western sports and entertainment weekend that occurs annually at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and represents the richest single-day event in all of western sports. Over the course of qualifier events across the country, rodeo athletes will all compete for what could be the biggest single-day paycheck of their careers.

 

Acquired by Teton Ridge, The American is a true open competition format bringing together top professional rodeo athletes and honest, hardworking cowboys and cowgirls in a winner-take-all showdown, meant to crown the finest talent the world has to offer.

 

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, non-stop rodeo action, live music, entertainment and more, the industry-leading event is the centerpiece of Teton Ridge’s western sports portfolio.

 

The American features competitors in all eight rodeo disciplines: barrel racing, breakaway roping, steer wrestling, team roping (heading and heeling), tie down roping, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. Semifinals will be held the week prior to the event.

 

Each qualifier who makes it to the 2022 finals will be eligible for their discipline’s $100,000 prize money and will also have their shot at the bonus millions. For the first time in the event’s history, women’s breakaway ropers will also be eligible for the $2 million added bonus.

 

In a landmark partnership between Teton Ridge and PBR (Professional Bull Riders), the weekend will additionally feature the 2022 PBR Global Cup USA on Saturday, March 5. The 2022 PBR Global Cup USA will feature five nations and six teams battling it out for national pride and the title of “Toughest Nation on Dirt.” Teams from Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico will attempt to upset host nation Team USA, which will be represented by Team Eagles and all Native American Team Wolves.

 

The PBR Global Cup, first held in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 2017, debuted in the United States in Texas at AT&T Stadium in 2019.  Team USA made history at the most recent iteration of the event in 2020, becoming the first nation to win the international team event on home soil. The Eagles contingent was led by 2016 PBR World Champion and Dallas resident Cooper Davis who is an anticipated front-runner to once again represent his home nation.

 

The legendary weekend of western sports and entertainment gets underway on Saturday, March 5 with the 2022 PBR Global Cup USA at 5:45 p.m. CST and then the nonstop rodeo action at The American begins at 12 p.m. CST on Sunday, March 6.
