Professional bull riding returns to Oklahoma

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Professional bull riding returns to Oklahoma tonight at the Lazy E Arena near Guthrie, and fans will be in attendance.

Officials say several precautions have been put in place to keep everyone safe at Bullnanaza.

One of those precautions is limiting capacity to 50%, and fans will sit in pods next to whomever they're with, socially distanced from other groups, but PBR officials are excited to bring Oklahomans live entertainment.

"We understand that there’s a pandemic going on, but we also understand people still need an escape. People still want to compete, and we want to help be able to provide that in the most safe and efficient manner that we possibly can," said Kosha Irby the Professional Bull Riders Chairman.

Riders will also have to be tested once they arrive in Oklahoma to lower the risk of spreading COVID-19.

The event runs through tomorrow, Aug. 15.
