CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The aircraft carrier is being transformed into an arena fit for extreme cowboys known as the Professional Bull Riders.

"They will erect an entire professional bull riding arena on the bough of the flight deck," Steve Banta, executive director of USS Lexington Museum said.

Banta said it takes 300 tons worth of equipment to get everything ready.
And while there's some heavy lifting involved, it's nothing the USS Lexington can't handle.

2. They usually do

3. I'm worried about injuries to the bulls -

The surface on an aircraft carrier doesn't have nearly as much give as the surface they normally use (natural ground). I see they are dumping dirt on the surface - but I can't imagine the surfaces will be close enough to be safe.

4. They're hauling in 300 tons of dirt to lay over the steel deck

This is really not a whole lot different from bull riding events held in sports arenas with concrete floors.

5. I'm only familiar with the ones I grew up with -

none of which are held in sports arenas with concrete floors.

6. Regional events are old school and outside

The moneyed events are another story.
