****PBR Review****

So....I'm originally from Texas and grew up going to the Houston Rodeo yearly. I've also seen bull fighting in Central America. However, I've never been to a bull riding event, until now.

First of all parking was $25.

PBR was over two hours of relentless, thrilling bull riding action.

Awesome music was blasting the entire event. Not sure if the guy was a clown or just someone to keep the energy level up, but he kept that energy pumped. He also has (had) great dance moves.

Bulls are beautiful, ginormous and oh so fast. I realized that riding a bull with one hand while keeping the other hand off the bull and your body is an amazing display of bravery and athletic skill. Wow...8 seconds can feel like a long time.

I was pleasantly surprised and the PBR really went beyond what I thought it would be. I had a blast watching the bull riders.

Something new I learned: The strap underneath a bull is not tied around the bull's testicles like I've heard for my entire life. The rope is meant to motivate the bull to kick more with its back legs while bucking, which really puts a rider's skills to the test in staying on.

Went for the UNM vs Texas A&M Corpus Christi basketball game with the family and a great game and time was had. Finally got to wear my signed Marlow White jersey and hangout with the family at a game and enjoysomegood food. Great environment food all around and plenty of good people to enjoy the game with.

We took our family and grandchildren from Omaha to see a lobo's game. It was the first for any of us in years and an absolutely wonderful experience!

There is no bad seat. Every seat has a great view. I was there for the PBR

Excellent place, the facilities very clean and tidy, the staff very attentive, everything very well organized, easy access to find our place, very good atmosphere and an excellent show.

Went to PBR day 1, overall terrible experience. When we got there, people were in our seats, and didn’t want to move, but with much hesitation on THEIR end, they moved and took someone else’s spot. When the people showed up for those seats, the two from ours that moved there didn’t move, so there were 6 people smushed into seats for 4 people.

A fight broke out in front of us, a kid was hit, which is unfortunate but thankfully he was okay.

At the very end, the last rider was going and everybody was standing and cheering. While standing, someone from the back threw nachos and it landed on myself, my husband, and the people in the row in front of us. To be covered in nachos, cheese and jalapeños on brand new outfits was absolutely horrendous and disgusting beyond belief.

Security needs to be better about making sure people are in the correct seat because you’re paying for it after all! And also need to make sure to catch the ghetto, trashy people who THROW FOOD because they think it’s funny, when it’s actually assault/battery. Trashy and terrible experience. Won’t be going back. I guess that’s just Albuquerque for you

The venue is big. It was very crowded. There are plenty of food places to choose from. Lots of parking space but you can park at nearby places. You will need to pay to pay to park.

Always a great time at The Pit for Lobos games & other sporting events. Food & drinks are a lil pricey but to be expected. My only knock on this arena is there shouldn't be a place in NM serving canned green chili. Keep it fresh & authentic in the 505
