The "New" Mesquite Championship Rodeo (MCR) delivers rock'n roll rodeo just 12 minutes from dowtown Dallas. Recently nominated for 2009 Rodeo of the Year by the PRCA, MCR features PRCA sanctioned events with top-ranked contestants, famous livestock, along with lasers and pyrotechnics that add up to 2 hours and 15 minutes of non-stop Texas style fun. From Texas BBQ to high-energy bull & bronc riding, you'll get a real sense of Texas tradition. Resistol Arena is a year-round facility home to MCR as well as concert, MMA, motocross and much more. Events for 20 to 6,000 in the arena and all-inclusive suites for 10 to 100 are available.
