Do you support using public money for the new rodeo headquarters in Cheyenne?
The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association has completed final exterior renderings for a new headquarters and ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Cheyenne. Cheyenne LEADS, the PRCA board and Hall of Fame trustees signed a Development Agreement on April 24.
Why it matters
The move positions PRORODEO to serve the next generation of PRCA cowboys, contract personnel, stock contractors and rodeo fans. The project is funded through a combination of public and private money, tying the sport's future to Cheyenne's downtown development.
The complex is expected to cost $70 million and will cover 69,270 square feet, designed by MOA Architecture. Specific figures for the public and private funding split have not been disclosed.
The players
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)
The PRCA is the sanctioning body for professional rodeo in the United States and oversees the sport's competition and cowboy membership.
ProRodeo Hall of Fame
The ProRodeo Hall of Fame honors champions and contributors to professional rodeo and is governed by a board of trustees.
Cheyenne LEADS
Cheyenne LEADS is the economic development organization for Cheyenne, Wyoming, that works to attract and support business and development in the city.
MOA Architecture
MOA Architecture is a design firm with offices in Denver and Casper, Wyoming, that designed the new PRCA headquarters and Hall of Fame complex.
The details
The complex will sit at the southwest corner of Interstate 80 and Interstate 25 and anchor Cheyenne's Hitching Post District. The project was designed by MOA Architecture, which has offices in Denver and Casper, Wyoming, in collaboration with the PRCA, ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Cheyenne LEADS.
Timeline
January: A non-binding memorandum of understanding was signed to explore relocating PRCA offices and the ProRodeo Hall of Fame to Cheyenne.
April: The PRCA board and Hall of Fame trustees held a joint meeting and voted to move forward.
April 24: Cheyenne LEADS, the PRCA board and Hall of Fame trustees signed a Development Agreement.
Next month: Infrastructure work at the Hitching Post is expected to begin when the road is cut through the site.
Early 2029: Target completion date for the facility.
Season Trajectory
The project ties the PRCA's long-term future to a fixed home in Cheyenne, a commitment the complex is expected to sustain for the next 50 years. It follows a pattern of sports institutions anchoring themselves to host-city development districts rather than operating from leased offices.
For PRCA members, contract personnel and stock contractors, the new headquarters will centralize the association's operations in Cheyenne once the facility is complete. Rodeo fans visiting the Hall of Fame will have a permanent Cheyenne location to see the sport's history.
The takeaway
The Cheyenne project signals a long-term commitment to professional rodeo's future, with the PRCA and its Hall of Fame planning to stay in one city for the next half-century.
What happens next
Infrastructure work at the Hitching Post is expected to begin next month when the road is cut through the site, with completion targeted for early 2029.
