1. Unmatched Excitement & World-Class Athletes

Get ready to cheer for your favorite team because all eight PBR teams will be visiting the Lone Star State for the 2nd annual PBR Gambler Days presented by Tecovas.  During the event, the Austin Gamblers will face the Kansas City Outlaws (August 25), Texas Rattlers (August 26), and Oklahoma Freedom (August 27). There’s something electrifying about witnessing the sheer power of the battle between bulls and cowboys. As the bulls are released from their chute with a cowboy atop their back, you can feel the energy in the air, building up as the riders try to make the eight. The intense anticipation and heart-pounding action will keep you hooked from start to finish.

PBR bull riders are some of the toughest and most skilled athletes you will ever come across and the ones competing in the PBR Camping World Team Series are no different. In fact, most of the top riders in PBR are on a PBR Camping World Team Series roster. For example, the Austin Gamblers have three riders that finished in the Top Ten of the 2023 Unleash the Beast Tour, PBR’s premier tour for the individual season. All the athletes dedicate their lives to mastering the art of bull riding, combining courage, physical strength, and mental fortitude. The PBR Camping World Team Series brought a new dynamic to the previously individual sport, where winning an event is dependent on the team’s performance rather than the individual rider. Watching these riders face off against the mighty bulls is a testament to their incredible skills and determination.

2. Live Music

Austin is known as the “Live Music Capital of the World” and the Gamblers are proud to show fans why.  Join the Gamblers in the Dell Technologies Plaza at Moody Center for three days of live country music! Break-out country music star Warren Zeiders will kick off PBR Gambler Days presented by Tecovas with a pre-show concert on Friday from 6:15-7:15 PM.  The fun continues Saturday where fans will be treated to a special performance by William Clark Green from 5:30-6:30 PM. To end the weekend with a bang, Texas Country and Billboard hot country chart-topping artist, Kevin Fowler will take the stage from 12:30-1:30 PM on Sunday. How could you not take advantage of such a great opportunity in the best music-driven city in the world?

3. Family-Friendly Entertainment, Giveaways, & Ticket Offers

One thing the Gamblers pride themselves on is their mission to connect the sport of bull riding with families. I believe they are demonstrating just that with the amount of family-friendly entertainment, giveaways, and ticket offers they are providing fans.

And, on Sunday, the first 500 kids will receive a Gamblers belt buckle from Rock & Roll Denim!

Third, their ticket offers cannot be beaten. They understand the role that fans play in their sport and want to make the event as accessible as possible. During Gamblers College Night on Friday, the Gamblers are offering colleges and universities a $24 student discount. To celebrate the college-filled night, there will also be live music, drink specials, and special appearances by the University of Texas football team, cheer and pom squads, alumni band, and Hook ‘Em.

4. Austin & the Moody Center are THE Places to Be

In my opinion, there’s no better home-based PBR event to attend than PBR Gambler Days presented by Tecovas. The Moody Center, named the world’s “Best New Concert Venue” by Pollster, is in the heart of downtown Austin, not only making it accessible but also giving you a plethora of things to do while you’re in town. I recommend giving yourself a couple of days to enjoy the event and everything else downtown Austin has to offer. Whether you’re a foodie or a music lover, Austin has something for everyone. Some highlights of downtown Austin include:

How could you not be entertained in Austin? How could you ever be bored? Not one team in PBR can compare their weekend event to the one annually hosted in Austin.
