Private Gifts Allow for Improvements at Campbell Rodeo Complex

September 20, 2019

Project donors and members of the Northwestern Oklahoma State University administration stand in front of new pens constructed at the Campbell Rodeo Complex. 

Much needed improvements at the Campbell Rodeo Complex will provide new amenities for cowboys and cowgirls at Northwestern Oklahoma State University.

A new 24’ x 200’ structure will house 20 new horse pens for incoming freshmen and transfers. Integrity Construction completed the project earlier this summer. A new well also was drilled to provide water for livestock.

“It’s a significant improvement and one that will aid in recruiting competitors to Northwestern,” Stockton Graves, head rodeo coach, said. “Competitors have made significant investments in their horses and want to know they can be protected and cared for nearby. The Campbell Complex is a great recruiting tool for us, and we are grateful to those donors who supported this project.”

Donors include the Esther Blessington family, the Brass Spur family, Lee and Sharon Brandt, Mark and Gena Denton and the Glass family.

Northwestern’s rodeo teams have produced three individual national champions in the past two years and have one of the largest teams in the nation.
