Location: Back in MT BABY!!! | I took it...felt bad I couldn't reacall a lot of the sponsors!!! I did remember a few though :)
My biggest concern....People not knowing the rules. I realize it's only on it's 2nd year but those who are announcing and doing the broadcasts should know those rules inside and out or not comment if they don't know. |

Location: Deep South | I could remember RFD TV and Polaris because those are the only two sponsors repeatedly shoved down your throats throughout the entire event and plastered all over every inch of the arena.
I realize that they put up a tremendous amount of money to put it on and I am very grateful for all that they do to give us this rodeo, but I can't help but feel badly for the other sponsors that are contributing money and getting zero recognition from the audience because RFD and Polaris are so in your face at every moment.

| I had to guess at some of the sponsors. Agree, Polaris was so "present" that you could help but remember it. For me the size of the place, 2 arenas a big platform between them, so much going on it was impossible to notice sponsors. While I watched from the comfort of home, I couldn't help but be perplexed at why anyone would pay to attend when the audience was sooooo far away from the action; I did mention this in the comments. If I have to pay to watch on a big screen TV, I'll stay home and see it better, no lines for the bathroom, food, or traffic. I like smaller arenas where you can see all the events and well. Didn't care for all the holding pens in the arena either. My opinion - but a horrible venue for a rodeo. |

| Because I don't sit through commercials, I had NO clue who the sponsors were! That's when I get up, fold clothes, do the dishes, mop the floor, clean the bathroom, etc.  |

Location: EDGE OF INSANITY | yes, now that you mention it, i do remember the cinch cam lol. I was only half watching between trying to do housework and kids saying "mama" every three seconds. But when the barrels came on, i locked myself in my bedroom and told everyone to leave me alone

 Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | I took it - it's important to let them know we appreciate the sponsors efforts to bring an event like this to us.
Cinch
Vetricyn
Animal Health
Polaris
Kabota
RFD-TV
Maybe we don't agree with exactly how it was run, but cut them a bit of a break. It's evolving. It's pretty darn incredible what they've managed to do for the sport of rodeo. It's not that big of a deal to take a minute and thank them for it.

Ariat and Classic Equine/Equibrand
I just wish we could have watched the pre-show on the big screen while we were waiting for the rodeo to start. That's one thing I kinda liked better about being at home. The two arenas is somewhat annoying because I think it would be pretty tough to get good seats for all the events. Oh well, it's not going to stop me from going next year so I'm not complaining too much! |

Location: Randolph, Utah | After the question about the sponsors I remembered most of them. I did put in the comments the rules seemed to made up as the go along, and specifically put the bull riding and steer wrestling. I didn't put my email becuase I hate getting emails I know I'll just delete. |
