Cal Poly Rodeo media manager Anna Grace Durham said they're calling this year's event the 'royal return.'
"We're back in 2026 bigger and better than ever. There's been some construction to the stadium, so it's actually increased our capacity, and we're excited to have the biggest attendance we've had," Durham said.
The rodeo runs through Saturday and organizers said it will go on rain or shine.
