The Nashville Stampede, Music City’s very own Professional Bull Riders (PBR) team, took over Broadway and Bridgestone Arena this past weekend and won two of their three matches in front of sold-out crowds.

The Stampede picked up two huge wins in Nashville as their first wins of the season, allowing them to break their recent eight-game losing streak.

On Friday night (Aug. 19), Stampede’s closer Silvano Alves delivered a walk-off win against the Missouri Thunder. The 88-0 win marked the first of the season for the team as they competed in Nashville for the first time since winning the 2022 PBR Teams Championship in Cinderella fashion.

The next day, Nashville Stampede stumbled during the action for their PBR Camping World Team Series event, falling by one ride score to the Kansas City Outlaws.

Kansas City jumped to an early 90-point lead in the opening frame, as Cassio Dias delivered a mammoth ride, the Stampede was never able to finish a ride in the requisite eight seconds. The host team’s game once again came down to closer Alves, but he was unable to convert for his team, and the Outlaws beat them 90-0.

The Nashville Stampede fell to 1-1 inside Bridgestone Arena, and hoped to bounce back for their Sunday closer.

On the final day of ‘Stampede Days,’ Nashville picked up a thrilling win off of an 90-point ride from 18-year-old Kaiden Loud. Loud failed in his first attempt, but was able to have a re-ride where he reached the requisite eight seconds for a mammoth 90 points, causing the crowd to erupt. While the judges reviewed the out, the initial call was upheld as Nashville surged to a commanding 90-point lead.

Next, the Nashville Stampede will head to Austin, Texas for the ‘Gambler Days’ this weekend (Aug. 25-27 ), where they will look to carry their momentum into more matches.
