The St. Cloud Bus Roadeo took place at the St. Cloud State University K-lot, next to the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.

Drivers were scored on their ability to navigate a timed obstacle course that imitated real-world situations. In the past, Metro Bus Operators have placed first at the Minnesota State Bus Rodeo 24 times, and have placed in the top four at national tournaments eight times.
