Colorado State University announces pro bull riding event will return in 2026 for three nights
Colorado State University has signed an agreement to bring Professional Bull Riders Inc. back to Canvas Stadium in 2026. The university announced that they will not only bring back the rodeo and concert series event in 2026, but the event will expand from two days to three. CSU and PBR hosted their first-ever partnered event on Monday night, with thousands of rodeo and country music fans in attendance. This marked the first time Canvas Stadium hosted a major event outside of a football game or graduation. The stadium opened in 2017 and was designed to be multi-purpose. The 2025 event was only slated for two nights, taking place on Monday, July 21, and Tuesday, July 22. In 2026, the event is scheduled for Canvas Stadium on July 10, 11, and 12. CSU President Amy Parsons took to social media to celebrate the extension of the event partnership. Athletic director John Weber told CBS News Colorado's Dillon Thomas he was excited to bring back PBR to Canvas and continue to expand the ways the stadium can be used as a gathering place for entertainment. Cross Canadian Ragweed played the stadium on Monday night, marking the first time a band has played at the stadium outside of CSU's marching band. The first act was originally slated to be Tim McGraw, but he pulled out of the event, citing health concerns. Tuesday night, John Pardi is scheduled to perform. The musicians to play in 2026 have not been announced yet.

Big Sky Remains Good for Ski and Snow, But Summer Has Entered the Chat
Last year the rustic-chic Lone Mountain Ranch unveiled Auric Room 1915, a members-only supper club and venue where overnight guests can retreat into cowhide-swathed booths to enjoy fried chicken and pours of 18-year-old Elijah Craig bourbon. True to its cattle-ranch roots, the hotel still devotes Thursday nights all summer long to the rodeo, a rowdy, locally beloved spectacle of cowboy and cowgirl culture complete with Montana beef brisket sandwiches and plenty of beer. Auric Room 1915 at Lone Mountain Ranch Lone Mountain Ranch Finally, in the Spanish Peaks, Montage Big Sky, which opened in 2021, expanded its lodging options last year with 47 new residences—including 15 freestanding Mountain Homes, each with five or six bedrooms—adding to the resort's 100 original rooms and suites.
