Windy City, HERE WE COME!
By Andrew Hatfield
BUCKING BY THE BEAN: This weekend, PBR’s elite 2025 Unleash The Beast returns to Allstate Arena in
Rosemont, Illinois. The eighth stop of the 24-event 2025 individual season will mark the 15th time in history and the second consecutive season the premier series has traveled to the Windy City. Chicago will host the PBR for two days of action on Friday, January 10, at 7:45 p.m. CST, and Saturday, January 11, at 7:45 p.m. CST.
MR. 1000: No. 31 Joao Ricardo Vieira’s out against Sin City in Round 1 on Friday will make the veteran’s 1,000th career premier series out, making him the fifth cowboy in PBR history to reach the millennial milestone, joining 2004 PBR World Champion Mike Lee (1,181), three-time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves (1,175), 2008 PBR World Champion Guilherme Marchi (1,174) and two-time PBR World Champion J.B. Mauney (1,086). Still in search of his first gold buckle at the age of 40, the 2013 Rookie of the Year went 1-for-3 to finish 21st in New York City last weekend, topping Wild Card for 87.25 points in Round 1. The 2023 PBR Teams Championship MVP with the Texas Rattlers is currently 6-for-14 (42.9%) on the season.
