I’m not a big bull riding guy, but I’d honestly go to an event tomorrow if I was allowed to. That’s how desperate I am for sports.
The PBR is hosting an event for the great people of South Dakota, some fans will be let in and I’m sure it’ll be a great experience.

I don’t know what kind of audience you get with 35% capacity, but I know for sure it’s a lot better than nothing.
That much is for sure. People needs sports and we need a victory during the war against coronavirus. Fans being let into a bull riding contest in South Dakota is a hell of a step in the right direction.

Hopefully, it’s the first victory of many more victories to come in the war against coronavirus!
