VIDEO 2022 PBR World Finals Load In Dickies Arena

For the first time in history, PBR (Professional Bull Riders) will hold its prestigious season-culminating World Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, at Dickies Arena May 13-15 & 19-22, crowning the 2022 PBR World Champion, and presenting them the coveted gold buckle and $1 million bonus.
Before the intense action can get underway, Dickies Arena must undergo what is arguably the greatest transformation of the year. To become an arena suitable for professional bull riding, among other items, the venue will be filled with upwards of 750 tons of dirt. Additionally, PBR’s skilled team will assemble a maze of steel paneling totaling to the length of six football fields, creating both the arena and necessary pens for the bovine athletes.
The conversion, however, will be completed twice as between the PBR’s two weekends of competition, Beatles front man Paul McCartney will hold a concert inside Dickies Arena on Tuesday, May 17. Given the midweek performance, the skilled staff of the PBR will vacate the venue following Round 3 on Sunday, May 15, and then reassemble the entire event in less than 24 hours in time for Round 4 to being on Thursday, May 19.
Enjoy the beginning of the transformation of Dickies Arena in the time lapse video of the load in beginning Monday, May 9th.
