Each time a registered fan enters a designated location, the GPS-enabled technology will acknowledge that activity and provide an additional entry into the Prize Barn. Fans are able to collect ‘tags’ at the designated locations each day of the Wrangler NFR, Dec. 1-10. The more ‘tags’ fans are able to collect, the more chances to win. One first-place winner will receive a pair of all-session plaza tickets to the 2017 Wrangler NFR. Three secondary winners will receive a 2016 Wrangler NFR contestant jacket.
