HISTORY-MAKING NFR • The 2020 Wrangler NFR was the first non- baseball event held at the newly-construct- ed Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. • Since 1985, the NFR has been held at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, but because of coronavirus restrictions in Ne- vada in 2020, the venue was unavailable for live entertainment with fans. • In 1959, the very first NFR was held in Texas at the Dallas State Fairgrounds and remained there for three years until it was moved to different state. • The 2020 championship offered fans the full NFR experience; the prize money re- mained at $10 million for contestants.
