HOUSTON -- The bull who ran loose in Reliant Stadium's parking lot will perform inside the arena on Wednesday, KPRC Local 2 reported.
The bull named "Hardball" broke through two gates and ran into one of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's parking lots on Sunday evening. Rodeo officials said he ran after he got spooked by some chuck wagons.
Police tried to stop Hardball with a Taser gun, but that didn't work. Wrangler Bronc Boehnlein jumped on a horse and lassoed Hardball.
Rodeo officials said they have taken steps to make sure a bull never gets loose like that again.
Boehnlein has already returned to his home in California. Cowboy Tyler Thomson will ride Hardball.
Hardball has been ridden 24 times since 2005 and has bucked his riders off 79 percent of the time.
