Watch How They Transform Casper For The Rodeo Showdown

I don't know about you, but I think I can smell the approaching storm about to hit Casper. Not a tornado, hail, or rain, but the thunder of the CNFR is coming and will be here before you know it.

You'll see the top collegiate rodeo athletes competing to become the nation's top college rodeo performers in the following categories:

• Bareback & Saddle Bronc Riding
• Bull Riding
• Tie-down Roping
• Steer Wrestling
• Barrel Racing
• Breakaway Roping

If you haven't purchased your tickets, you can do so at the Ford Wyoming Center Box Office or on Ticketmaster.com. There are still great seats available, so don't miss out.

If you were at the FWC to see a sporting event, concert, or comedy show lately, you may be wondering how they turn the building into a rodeo arena. I'm glad you asked, because it takes quite a bit of work.

Powder River Livestock & Rodeo Equipment has jumped into action to get the job done. They posted a video on their social media pages that shows how big a deal it is to bring in the dirt and build the arena.

We're moving mountains of dirt to help prepare the arena for the College National Finals Rodeo, and this is just the beginning. Next comes the equipment that helps make the action possible.
As a proud sponsor of the CNFR, we're honored to provide the rodeo equipment trusted for one of the biggest events in college rodeo.

It's definitely a wild thing to see, especially if you've always wondered how it works. Here's a time-lapse video of the process that will get you fired up for CNFR action.
