What is PRB? Well, you can experience the thrill of bull riding in Chicago with PBR (Professional Bull Riders)! PBR is not just a sport; it’s a raw and unyielding challenge where cowboys face off against powerful bulls, aiming to stay on for a heart-pounding 8 seconds. No timeouts, no strategic plays – just one cowboy, one bull, and the quest for victory.

The roots of PBR trace back to 1992 when 20 courageous cowboys broke away from traditional rodeos, investing $1,000 each to create a standalone organization dedicated solely to bull riding. Their dream has since transformed into a global phenomenon, with PBR awarding over $200 million in prize money.

Not stopping there, PBR has expanded its reach globally, being broadcasted in more than 130 countries and territories. It has even launched a separate team league, further solidifying its status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of sports.
