World’s Toughest Rodeo™ stampedes into Saint Paul for two thrilling shows Friday-Saturday, February 1-2 at Xcel Energy Center starting at 7:30 p.m. each night. Tickets start at $17 for adults and $9.50 for kids 12 and under. “Like” the World’s Toughest Rodeo on Facebook for special seating and discounts.

World’s Toughest Rodeo features champion cowboys from around the United States competing in bareback riding, saddle bronc riding or bull riding, while the ladies will be vying for the championship title in barrel racing. The top two in each event will return for a second time to go head-to-head to determine the night’s champion. Before the rodeo each night, fans are invited to come early to meet some of the competing cowboys and the rodeo clown. Fans will also have an opportunity to get autographs and photos with these real life cowboys. The first 500 children (12 and under) Friday night will also receive a free cowboy hat.

A new feature for 2013 is the introduction of American style bull fighting, where the bullfighters, or “cowboy lifesavers,” pit their agility and skill against specially bred rodeo “fighting” bulls. It is a scored competition where the object is to get as close as possible to these fast and cantankerous bulls without getting gouged (or “hooked” as they call it in rodeo vernacular) – it’s new to Saint Paul and will surely keep fans on the edge of their seats.
