The Professional Bull Riders are coming to Uncasville this weekend for the final stop of the 2009 season.  Considered by some as "the most dangerous eight seconds in sports,"  you can expect "three days of non-stop competition," according to the PBR.

You can also expect cowboys, bullfighters and barrel men.   And the folks who love them.

Of course, this is not  your Grandfather's rodeo.  "Each event is wrapped in a rock-concert-like environment, complete with pulsating music, explosive pyrotechnics and fast-paced production," they say.

The first go-round is Friday, October 16 at 8pm, followed by Saturday, October 17 at 7:50pm and Sunday, October 18 at noon.

Tickets vary in price from $10 to $100.
