The Casey Tibbs South Dakota Rodeo Center
About the Center Senate Commemoration

"For those who became champions and those who were good 
but never had the chance to prove themselves"

The Casey Tibbs Rodeo Center will occupy a unique place among America's efforts to preserve its western heritage. Tightly focused on the rich details of the rodeo world, the Center will capture the spirit of a sport that has flourished for over 100 years.

Originally a test of the day-to-day skills of working cowboys, rodeos have evolved into a celebration of a way of life.  The intimate connection between animals, the land and the people who work them is at the heart of rodeo - and as a result is the underlying theme of the Casey Tibbs Center.
