About RFD-TV’s The American:
Taking place at Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium on Feb. 25, 2018, RFD-TV’s The American
is the richest single-day event in the history of rodeo. With $2 million on the
line, the best athletes in the world will gather in Arlington, Texas to battle for
the biggest single paycheck of their lives. The American invites the top athletes
from the 2017 PRCA, WPRA and PBR world standings and pits them against underdogs who
advance from the American Semi-Finals. If a nationally ranked athlete wins, the
prize is $100,000, but if a qualifier from the Semi-Finals – or an athlete who
earned an exemption – wins THE AMERICAN, that contestant shares in a $1 million
bonus pool. For more information, please
