Southern Arkansas University’s Story Arena is hosting an inaugural SAU Bull Jam at 8 p.m. on May 30, 2015.
“This will be bull riding action at its best,” said Rusty Hayes, SAU rodeo coach and director of farm operations. “There is going to be ‘danger zone’ seating, a shark cage for the bull fighters and reduced arena size for better viewing.”
The event is a part of Bullriders of America’s “B. Tuff Tour,” and professional PBR bullrider and two-time World Finals qualifier Justin Koon is scheduled to have a meet-and-greet with fans. Crowd favorite rodeo clown “Pork Chop” will provide his humor throughout the evening, as well.
Ticket prices are as follows: $15 for adults 13 and older, $7 for youth ages five to 12, and free for children four and younger.

There is also an opportunity to win the best seat in the house with three of your guests with the “Magnolia Regional Medical Center Danger Zone.” This box seating will be elevated overlooking the bucking chutes, and it includes a catered meal from Backyard BBQ. To enter, $25 donations for each chance can be made at the main branches of Peoples Bank and Farmers Bank & Trust in Magnolia.
Limited box seating will also be available at $180. Each box includes six seats and two VIP parking passes. To reserve a box, contact Story Arena Manager Megan McCurdy at (870)235-5197.
McCurdy said that Story Arena will be closed in June so that various construction projects can be completed, but that she is steadily booking private and organization events for later this summer and beyond. To find out about rental pricing or other information, visit www.SAUmag.edu/Story-Arena.
