One thing i have to explain to non houstonians and even some hometowners is that the rodeo brings in more money than the nfl. football fans here wanted an open air stadium but the rodeo needed a roof, there was compromise but you might as well say the rodeo dictated its terms. bye bye george
Not a lot of mention of the rodeo in this article. It was mainly about the George Strait concert. The next to the lat sentence did mention 2.5 million in attendance.
i can't find the exact article, i read it in the print edition of today's opinion section. its about how the rodeo has transformed, how there are more non country acts. i'll try to find the right one
