(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) has announced that it will move from its current headquarters in Colorado Springs to Cheyenne, Wyoming.

According to a press release from the PRCA, the Board of Directors has approved a “non-binding memorandum of understanding to seriously consider relocating the organization’s headquarters, along with the PRCA Hall of Fame and Museum of the American Cowboy, to Wyoming.”

The PRCA said the move to Cheyenne would bring rodeo to a state where rodeo is recognized as the official sport.

“The relocation represents a strategic move for the PRCA and underscores Wyoming’s deep-rooted connection to western heritage, rodeo and the cowboy way of life,” the PRCA said.

Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade issued a statement on the move, stating that the City put forth a generous offer to keep the PRCA headquartered in Olympic City.
