What ever the exact figure, it ranks among the top sports in America, just behind football and baseball as a crowd-getter. This sport is unusual in that it is of native origin. Other popular spectator sports of this country have all originated in some similar form in other sections of the globe Rodeo however, first saw the light of day, as such, in the Southwest, The term rodeo itself has been rather late in arriving. Until the 1920's contests such as those found in present day rodeos were known by various titles such as stam pedes, roundups and frontier Days, Rodeo is still principally a com munity project, organized by local groups as a form of entertainment found most satisfying to the great est number of people. There is no way to estimate ac curately the attendance at all ro deos since there is no way to even count the contests held each year outside the jurisdiction of the Ro deo Cowboy Assn. A generally ac cepted figure is that all other ro deos, including junior, high school, collegiate and amateur contests should add another II or 12 million to the overall attendance.
