What has been your favorite experience at the Houston Rodeo this year?

Did you try anything new this year?

We're in the final stretch of the rodeo -- there are only five days left -- so it seems like a good time to reflect on our experiences. This year featured a few new musical acts, several new foods and the same country feel. And the good news is that it's not over yet.

We'll definitely miss the rodeo when it wraps up. The best thing about March 18 is that the countdown to the release of next year's lineup begins.

Nickelback is one of the most controversial popular bands of their generation.

However, more than two decades after its breakthrough, Nickelback can still fill arenas. They played The Woodlands Pavilion last summer as part of the Get Rollin' Tour, which made $25.6 million from its first 28 shows, according to Pollstar.

They'll be at the rodeo tonight. Will you be cheering or booing?
