I thought I was the only one who noticed that.
One of them was announced several weeks back - the Mohegan Sun Invitational (Uncasville, CT), which will now be the new final event of the season.
Seriously, why haven't they said anything about any of those dates? It is kinda getting late, I agree.

The one in August was supposed to be at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, just a half hour from me, but they've taken that off the schedule. However, when I was checking Diamond G's website to see when we'd see White Magic again, they are still listed as going to LA at that time. I wrote to PBR and they wrote back saying that they can't confirm anything yet. I'm really hoping it's near here so I can go to another one.

I was told they have not released any additional dates as they are still trying to finalize contracts etc.
However the rumor is that Reno is out as an event this year. One of the dates will be Edmonton Alberta Canada, the weekend after Grand Rapids may be Jacksonville FL and that they are still looking at doing LA but trying to make it two days rather then just one.
Hopefully they will release a final schedule or at least the July and August dates soon!

I really believed Charlotte would be back this season. It appeared to be a huge success both days, even on a Sunday afternoon.

Sorry for a double-posting, but they have announced four cities (though one of them I already knew about - Mohegan Sun): www.pbrnow.com/release/?id=3694So looks like L.A. is definitely a go for them. No outdoor events, I knew it. Just a small gripe and I know that it's supposed to be BIG cities and all. I think, though, that leaves one city still to be determined....no wait, make that two, because Mohegan Sun was already on the list. So there are still two cities left to be announced!

Well they updated the press release to list the official dates to still be TBD. I believe that it is because they are still trying to make this a two day event. Which makes more sense as more and more people travel to PBR events and are more likely to go to a 2 day event.
I am guessing one of the TBD is the Canada event. If the Reno quotes are right that leaves the final event a toss up between the two WI locations and New Orleans.
Obviously my vote is for the WI locations since it would be almost litterally in my back yard if they select Milwaukee. After having gone to the New Orleans event last year I would certainly also argue that Milwaukee as a city has a lot more to offer the fans. Finally if the attendence at the yearly Madison ET event and the ET event in Milwaukee are any indication it would certainly be a sell out. With almost no promotion the Bradley center was 1/2 - 3/4 full for the ET event. Watch out if they do decide to come to Milwaukee as I promise it will be one H**** of a party!

Well the PBR has announced changes to it's just released schedule!
Los Angeles has been announced for Sept 6 (not the August 23 originally announced)
Earlier today the Web Site had Edmonton listed as stop 24 July 24-26 however that date is back to being TBD.
So that now leaves July 24-26 and August 23-25 TBD.
It looks like they are still working on it but at least making progress. Hopefully the final two dates will be locked down and announced shortly.

I hope so too. I've heard no rumors on what the last event is, so it's very much open.
Maybe they'll consider Pueblo, seeing as they should have a home event again (like Colorado Springs back when the HQ was there). But it's in the air right now, evidently.

I bought my tickets for LA this morning. My dad, who's never been able to make a live show, will be here that weekend, so I get to take him. I'm looking forward to it.

Well, L.A. has been taken off the schedule.
Seriously, PBR? Set your priorities straight.

What?!
Man, my dad was so excited he was marking his calendar while we spoke.
I'm going to be really disappointed if they tell me it's canceled.
*sigh* Thanks for the heads up, Homeslice.

Still no press release on it, but L.A. is definitely gone.
And meanwhile, they just announced the final dates for the Cincinnati event (it'll be in October, before Columbus).
Seriously, PBR. There are still two dates left. Fill them up already!
