I vote for massive BHW protest at the 2014 NFR in Vegas. |

Location: North Dakota | Well that's a terrible move. As much as I want to visit the NFR and visit Florida, a 40% increase in prices would make that impossible for me. Not to mention plane tickets to FL in December is probably going to be more expensive. I hope they don't follow through. |

I don't think they are saying tickets will be 40 percent higher in fl. Vegas events is saying that if the matched the Florida deal ticket prices in Vegas would have to increase by 40 percent. |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | Although it is within 5 hours of my house, I say it sucks. Nov-Dec are the busy times of year for Orlando, (as if they weren't always busy). The traffic is a night mare no matter what time of the day. Hotel rooms are sky high and so is food.
While change is never easy, I say it was the wrong move. The only good thing is that it will not be cold. |

Location: NC | Wait I am confused... When I read it I get from it that they are moving to FL because to STAY in Vegas it would require a 40% increase in ticket prices.....
If that is the case I can see why they felt they needed to move. It won’t be the same, but I am sure they will do their best to make it a good show for the contestants and the spectators. |

No, Las Vegas events is saying to match the money Orlando is offering they would have to increase the cost of tickets by 40 percent, at Thomas and Mack.

bring it !!! this may close the door to some and will open it for others. its a change. it will all be fine. on to the next challenge !!
If they make this move it may very well be the final nail in the PRCA coffin.
Don't for a second think that LVE will give up that Dec. draw. That means another rodeo with Vegas money behind it. Guess where the Contestants are going to go?
We'll see, I'm betting this is posturing and negotiations but you never know.

this is what I was thinking
I think overall, vegas is a better venue for something like the NFR. However, I understand that the contestants want more money... I guess we shall see |

I don't think it will be the nail in the coffin. Karl Stressman said one of the reasons they are actually able to consider the move is because they are financially sound now, where in the past that hasn't been the case. He said before when LVE would offer a nickel more they would have to jump on it because they had no other choice pretty much.
Also the number of prca rodeos and prize money offered is actually up quite a bit. So it sounds like to me they are on the right track for the most part. |

Yes, I think as long as they are able to sell the venue out eventually and the added money is able to increase substantially it will succeed. While Las Vegas has become a tradition for the nfr now, unless that translates into more money for the prca and the contestants, I think moving will only help.
I personally would like to see it in Dallas. But I don't see who would put up that kind of money to get it here. |
