This is no rodeo coming to Birmingham! The Professional Bull Riders Velocity Tour is two hours of intense bull riding action by a star-studded lineup of athletes. One night of heart-pounding, bone-crushing action between some of the fiercest bulls in the country and some of the best athletes in the sport.
The PBR VelocityTour will bring all the high-energy sound, lighting, special effects and edge of your seat action that fans have come to expect from the World leader in the sport of bull riding. The event will be at the Legacy Arena of the BJCC on April 1st at 7 pm.
