Location: In the Hills of Texas | Dash4KJ - 2016-03-22 2:07 PM sodapop - 2016-03-19 5:44 PM I wonder who will be announcing the ERA rodeos live in the arena. Anyone know? I also wonder who will be commentating the tv telecast of the ERA rodeos. Anyone know? I'm watching Rodeo Houston with 3 announcers. The younger guy impresses me....can't think of his name..... I hope the ERA doesn't use an announcer who feels the need to stretch out every single word with a strained type voice. Hopefully they get someone entertaining who will draw in "non rodeo" people. If I was not a rodeo fan, I would have turned the channel on Rodeo Houston shortly after it started. They are the in arena and tv announcers. The one younger guy by himself would be fine with me. The two veteran announcers straining and stretching their words to near losing breath is not my preference. Different strokes for different folks. I like the strained voices holding and stretching notes in soul singing not in announcing. LOL That would be Anthony Lucia from Rodeo girls.
Anthony was on horseback in the arena at the Gold Buckle match in San Antonio. |

| I am assuming the shareholders & or contestants are making some money from tickets sales, sponsorship, merchandise sales, etc. Then their big payoff would be their finals in November from all of the things like I mentioned plus any winnings. I don't know the November finals payout. I wonder if every rodeo they have pays the same or if it individual to each rodeo? I didn't read the posted article yet so sorry if it answers in the article. I am also wondering since the rodeo is a 2 night perf if they have an average payout as well which would up the potential money to be won. Round money and average money. Then the average winner would be the overall winner of the rodeo or tour stop......or do they have a shootout round or anything like that?

Sold out could mean season ticket holders for the venue who didn't come to this particular event. I'm not sure. Local sponsors could have purchased tickets too I guess as giveaways. |

I have no idea but the article says that the total prize money for the tour is $4.6 million. With 80 contestants that would be an average earning of $57,500 for the entire tour. |

| From the pictures on the ERA Facebook page they had a good turnout. The stands looked pretty full. They show a lot of interaction with the contestants which isn't a big deal to me at a rodeo, but would be a big hit with a lot of spectators. Give them credit for trying something different in their format. I didn't eee any more about payout or if they have an average. I did see on their website their world standings is based on a point system. It's not listed as money won. Why do any sports of any kind call the big winner a "world" champion since the whole world didn't participate?
