A professional bull riding competition in South Dakota will allow fans back into the arena, becoming one of the first sports organizations to bring back a live audience
, which is owned by UFC parent Endeavor, will allow fans – albeit not a packed house – to attend a July event in South Dakota.
For the PBR, allowing the return of fans comes as major sports leagues like the NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball wrestle with how to safely return to play. Most of the models call for games without fans, at least in the shorter term. Also, there will be a four-to-six-foot buffer between ticketed seats, the locations for which will minimize the potential for crossover of fans entering or exiting. Facial coverings will be provided for fans.
The ticketed event is the culmination of a five-week, made-for-TV team tournament designed to take advantage of the dearth of live sports programming due to the virus.Participants in The PBR Monster Energy Team Challenge will be tested for COVID-19 prior to entering the facility each weekend, PBR said.
