The grounds around NRG Park will see over 250 teams competing for top honors. In addition, 13 trail rides will converge on Memorial Park in preparation for the Downtown Rodeo Parade on Saturday, Feb. 27.

The trail rides travelled a combined 1,800 miles with one group coming from Reynosa, Mexico.

Saturday will also have more than 10,000 runners taking to the streets of Houston for the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run.
