The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) held their very first event in April 1993 at Cowtown Coliseum. In late December 1993, the venue would be the first stop of the PBR Bud Light Cup Series’ 1994 inaugural season.[1] In February 2021, the PBR’s elite series, now known as the Unleash the Beast Series, returned to Cowtown Coliseum for the first time since 1993 to host an event. The PBR hosted a lower-level event, the Cowtown Classic, at the Coliseum every New Year’s Day for several years. Beginning in 2022, the PBR’s Challenger Series hosts Sunday events known as PBR Sundays at Cowtown at Cowtown Coliseum from June through August.

The Coliseum also houses the Bull Riding Hall of Fame.
