If you’re not going to be at the Wrangler® National Finals Rodeo (NFR) this year, you can still be there! Globe Life Field (GLF) in Arlington, Texas, will play host to the most celebrated event on the rodeo calendar Dec. 3-12, 2020. Though not everyone will attend the NFR in person this year, they will be able to have their own personal 2D DoppelWrangler in their place!

Organizers are making it possible for fans to have a nearly life-size image seated for the rodeo and possibly even end up on TV! Now through Oct. 31, fans can order a 2D version of themselves (or a loved one) – known as DoppelWranglers – to be in attendance for the Wrangler NFR.

“We’re getting creative and this is going to be a fun way for fans to participate, even if they can’t be there in person,” said George Taylor, chief executive officer of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). “And we’re helping some very worthy causes at the same time.”

Other sporting events have used this approach to help fans to engage more deeply when they can’t attend in person. The PRCA and GLF are kicking it up a notch. Three different tiers of

DoppelWranglers can be purchased, with varying benefits at each level and with the proceeds going to fund four great charities.

• The Fan level DoppelWranglers will be placed randomly throughout the arena. This first option will sell for $100.
• The Cowboy DoppelWranglers will allow a cowboy hat to be worn in the image and will be placed randomly. This option is available for $125.
• The Gold Buckle DoppelWranglers may include a cowboy hat and will be placed in the most likely televised seating locations during the Wrangler NFR, which will air live on The Cowboy Channel. This option will be available for $200.

To reserve a DoppelWrangler for the 2020 Wrangler NFR, fans need to go to the same portal as for tickets at https://www.mlb.com/rangers/fans/national-finals-rodeo-fan-cutouts. DoppleWranglers must be ordered by Oct. 31, 2020. Proceeds from DoppelWrangler sales will benefit four nonprofit charities: Jr. Rodeo, Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund, Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy, and the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation.

“We are thankful that Rangers fans and NFR fans can join us at Globe Life Field in person and as DoppelWranglers,” said Neil Leibman, chief operating officer, Texas Rangers and chairman of the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation Board of Directors. “The funds raised from the sale of cutouts will make a significant impact on the communities the Rangers Foundation serves and on the work of the Jr. Rodeo, ProRodeo Hall of Fame and the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund.”

Jr. Rodeo

The Jr. Rodeo Association is the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s youth program. Jr. Rodeo promotes the best rodeo experiences and develops youth contestants. The association is built on three pillars of success: Education; Fundamental Skills; and Competition Platform. Jr. Rodeo is for youth, ages 8-19, who want to learn about rodeo through participation in Jr. Rodeo Camps, schools and events. Jr. Rodeo sanctions rodeos for qualification into the Cowboy Channel Jr. National Finals Rodeo. For more information and to join, visit www.jrrodeo.org.

Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund

Recognizing that serious injuries can be traumatic enough without the additional burden of financial worries, the Justin Boot Company formed a partnership with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association to establish the fund that provides need-based financial assistance to athletes injured through their participation in professional rodeo. For more information visit www.justincowboycrisisfund.org.

ProRodeo Hall of Fame

The ProRodeo Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy provides education about rodeo, its history and impact on Western American culture. The Hall of Fame recognizes rodeo notables of the past and present and serves as an inspiration for the future. For more information visit www.prorodeohalloffame.com.

Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation

The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of those in our community – especially children, the military and first responders, and their familiars – through educational, health and athletic programming and partnerships that bring meaningful change to our communities. For more information visit www.mlb.com/rangers/community/foundation/landing.

FAQs

Q: Where will my DoppelWrangler sit?

A: DoppelWranglers will be placed throughout the arena. After DoppelWranglers are placed, you will receive an email directing you to a webpage where you can see which section your DoppelWrangler is sitting in.

Q: Can I choose my seat?

A: No, seat assignments are random. We will make our best effort to seat DoppelWranglers from the same order next to each other, but not guaranteed.

Q: How many can I purchase?

A: Each fan can purchase a maximum of 10 DoppelWranglers per transaction.

Q: How do I upload my photo?

A: You can upload your photo through the purchase form found at https://www.mlb.com/rangers/fans/national-finals-rodeo-fan-cutouts.

Q: Are there any restrictions?

A: Yes. The PRCA/Texas Rangers have the right to refuse any image that includes profanity, political messages, other sports or other teams. The image must be of you, and please do not upload an image of a celebrity. All cutouts will be made the same size and seating locations will be chosen at random.

Q: Can two people be in one photo?

A: We would prefer one person per photo. If there are two you’ll have to stand in front of each other – not next to each other – and someone may not be fully visible in the seat. Check out our photo guidelines https://www.mlb.com/rangers/fans/national-finals-rodeo-fan-cutouts.

Q: What’s the difference in base, cowboy hat and premium DoppelWranglers?

A: Base DoppelWranglers are those without cowboy hats in the image and will be placed randomly throughout the ballpark. The Cowboy hat option means a cowboy hat may be worn in the image and will be placed randomly throughout the ballpark. Premium DoppelWranglers may include a cowboy hat and will be placed in the most televised seating locations, but still at random in those sections.

Q: After the event, can I get my DoppelWrangler shipped to me?

A: DoppelWranglers will not be shipped because there is no guarantee on the condition following the 10-day Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (October 13, 2020) – The date is set, and the cowboys and cowgirls will be in the arena. The 2020 Wrangler® National Finals Rodeo (NFR) participants will be introduced to the world and receive their back numbers on December 1 at the NFR Welcome Reception at Dickies Arena, the home of the Fort Worth (Texas) Stock Show & Rodeo.

This evening event will effectively start the 2020 NFR and will set the pace for 10 days of rodeo that will match the year’s greatest competitors in each of the sanctioned events. The event is one of the most anticipated moments at the NFR before the chutes open.

“This is where it all starts,” Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price said. “The very best cowboys and cowgirls from this last year, along with the greatest names in rodeo will gather to kick off the 2020 NFR. We are so proud to host this event in a spectacular facility right here in the cultural center of Fort Worth. We are honored to be bringing the NFR back home this year to the real home of rodeo!”

The NFR moved to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, this year so the event could have a live audience.

The selection of back numbers signifies the contestants’ qualification to the NFR. It is a rite of passage and a confirmation of their success over the past year. All the training, discipline and preparation have brought these athletes – the very best of the best – to this event.

The Welcome Reception will start at 6 p.m. on December 1 and will be open to PRCA 2020 Convention attendees. Fans not attending the convention can purchase tickets to the reception for $30 beginning November 1.

The official gift show of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and prestigious junior rodeo are staples of the NFR Experience

With the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo’s move to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas for 2020, two of its most popular ancillary events – Cowboy Christmas and the Junior World Finals – are also on the move for one year. Las Vegas Events has partnered with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) to host Cowboy Christmas inside the Fort Worth Convention Center and the Junior World Finals at the Cowtown Coliseum.

Both events will run concurrently with the Wrangler NFR, Dec. 3-12, 2020. The Fort Worth Convention Center is located 20 minutes from Globe Life Field. Cowtown Coliseum is in the Fort Worth Stockyards, just minutes from downtown. Built in 1908, the historic Coliseum was home to the world’s first indoor rodeo. Today, the Stockyards are undergoing a renaissance with restoration of more historic buildings from the Old West.

“While it’s unfortunate we will not present Cowboy Christmas in Las Vegas, we look forward to sharing this unique Western shopping and lifestyle experience with our fans in Fort Worth,” said Las Vegas Events President Pat Christenson.

Held every year since 1986, Cowboy Christmas has grown into the ultimate shopping and interactive experience. Attendees will find unique products, including custom-made jewelry, western wear, boots and spurs, furniture, original art, handmade crafts and home goods. Cowboy Christmas also offers the best source for official Wrangler NFR and PRCA merchandise. Admission to Cowboy Christmas is free.

“Fort Worth is thrilled to host Cowboy Christmas and the Junior World Finals this December,” said Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price. “As the city of cowboys and culture Fort Worth is the ideal location for these events, and we can’t wait for visitors to experience our rich heritage and hospitality.”

To add the overall experience at the Fort Worth Convention Center, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s Hunter & Outdoor Christmas Expo will be co-located with Cowboy Christmas. The show is one of the largest outdoor and hunting-related expos in the country.

In addition to the shopping, attendees will find a variety of entertainment and offerings. The Rodeo Live Stage will host four live daily shows, including RFD-TV’s Western Sports Roundup, Outside the Barrel with Flint Rasmussen, Cowboy Revival with host Shane Minor and RMEF’s Cowboy Calcutta. NFR Central, an area featuring interactive displays, will host the NFR Extra podcast broadcasting daily.

More than 250,000 square feet of exhibit space for 250 exhibitors and interactivity will be utilized for the show. Full daily schedules, parking information and hours of operation will be announced at a later date.

The Junior World Finals will be held for the fifth consecutive year. There will be qualifiers and finals in nine events (with various age groups per event): bull riding, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, girls and boys breakaway, pole bending, team roping, tie-down roping and barrel racing. More than 700 entries are expected to compete in the Junior World Finals.
