The College National Finals Rodeo will call Casper home for the next 10 years, officials announced during the event’s championship rounds. The city has hosted the rodeo for 28 years, and local organizations have worked to expand its local footprint.
Economic Impact
The event brings a significant economic boost to area businesses, with nearly $3 million generated last year, according to Visit Casper CEO Annette Pitts. The WYO Sports Ranch, which opened in 2025, features the Mercantile, a shopping event with dozens of regional vendors, serving as an ancillary event to help retain the rodeo in Casper.
