TULSA, OK -- Some of the best cowboys ride into Tulsa on Friday as the PBR "Built Ford Tough Series" starts at the BOK Center.

But before the first bull flies out the chute, there's a lot of work to be done. Crews spent the day hanging lights, wiring sound systems and cleaning off the big LED video screens.

And, of course there's a lot of dirt to haul in - about 50 truck loads. It's all local soil, custom blended just for this event.

Workers say putting on a show like this is worth all the sweat.

Tickets start at $10. Find out more.
