Cowboys and cowgirls, you’re not going to want to miss this year’s Ogden Pioneer Days rodeo! It has been a nationally recognized, Top 5 PRCA rodeo and was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 2017. As one of the top rodeos in Utah, Ogden Pioneer Days draws nearly 50,000 fans annually to its highly anticipated main event, which includes: bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, breakaway roping, tie-down roping, team roping, steer wrestling and bull riding. Held at the historic Ogden Pioneer Stadium, 668 17th St, the rodeo draws thousands of fans back to where it all started in 1934—and where the feeling of the American west still lives.

While the Ogden Pioneer Stadium is historic, vast improvements have been made throughout the years—and none are more significant than the new northside grandstand that has been outfitted with thousands of stadium seats that once were used in the Utah Jazz's Vivint Smart Home Arena. The seats were a gift from the Utah Jazz organization to Ogden. The new grandstands and seating are all possible due to contributions totaling about $1.3 million. Among the donors were the Larry H. Miller and Gail Miller Family Foundation, the George S. and Delores Doré Eccles Foundation, Weber County RAMP, Ogden City, Wadman Corporation and Ogden Pioneer Days Foundation.
Next up: Additional renovations are planned in other parts of Ogden Pioneer Stadium, including more upgraded seating—all done in an effort to make the Ogden Pioneer Days celebration even better for our fans.
