[LudeRoca]

what is monster jam. is it like the monster truck show?

[shawtie]

^^ yes

[handsomebassman]

I hope its not at saddledome again, last time i went it was at saddledome, and despite it being wicked awesome testosterone concentration in there, it was just too damn small to have them really do anything.

[88CRXGUY]

^^^^Yeah its at the Saddledome...

[GTS Jeff]

Monster truck shows are white trash. Sorry.

[l8braker]

^ that's half the fun of going, seeing the trailer trash. forest lawn, dover, blackfoot trailer park all empty out and converge upon the saddledome, saddledome, saddledome.

the trucks are fucking sweet though, always went when i was small :thumbsup: good memories, coming out smelling like crap, and not being able to hear anything for the next week.

[HTN SWCHS]

FUCK YAH going to see it tomorow, 23.00 21.50 and 15 for tickets 5bux off if you buy at napa auto parts or partsource (dont know which one?)

[Foz]

Alright, time to bring and use my oxygen tank with mask.

[Vypros]

[HTN SWCHS]

BUMP for 2022

I'm going tomorrow but it's sure not cheap anymore! $312 for 4 tix! :/
I assume we need ear plugs, but would we also need earmuffs for the kids?
It's at GMC Stadium (Stampede Grandstand) so hopefully they can get some speed and make it extra exciting. My kids are surprisingly excited about it, LoL!!

[nismodrifter]

Yeee haw

[03ozwhip]

The only thing better than the trucks are the mullets.

I brought earmuffs last time for the kids and glad I did. The Grandstand is still pretty tight compared to the big events you see in the States so don’t expect anything extreme, but it was still a good time.

Just got home from the event. Some good people watching for sure. Also, parking in the infield lot is stupid. Would have to rather taken the ctrain.

[BensonTT]

Took my boy a few years ago, left during 2nd intermission.. It was quite boring lol

[danno]

Got the wife to drop me off. Looked like a gong show trying to get in. The people in front of me didn’t get in till 410 it was over at 5.

Took the train home and someone decided to fall off the platform at heritage so that was a 30 min wait. So whether you drove or took the train it sucked.

Bring ear plugs, it’s loud. Doesn’t bother me but for the kids for sure. Lineups for food and drink were to long but you can bring your own food and pop. Just no beers, beer line wasn’t to bad though.

What time did you get there before start?
Tomorrow starts at 3pm and I don't want to fuck that up.

[arcticcat522]

Go early. Traffic to get in is dumb....like aim to be there for 2. We got there just after 2 and the races started while I was in the beer line. After I got food for the fam....unless you train it, then I do t think it would be too bad. After we got parcked, it was quick.
Edit 2: when I say got there around 2, I mean in the car waiting to get parked

Fuck.
I was thinking of parking near a train and taking it in.

[arcticcat522]

See edit.....it should be ok if you train it

[danno]

I think the train will be safe aim to be there at 230. Wife dropped me off at 230 and we walked in. If I parked I would park along cemetery hill and walk in at 215. No one was parked there when we drove by.
My boys wanted a train ride other wise I would have drove. Do not park in the grounds waste of time.

[sabad66]

Went today with my son. I got the pit party passes so we got there at 1245 and parking wasn’t too bad being almost right in front of the entrance. We left about 10 min before it ended to beat the rush and it was super smooth leaving. Pretty much drove straight out with no wait.

Bro - did you just win the award for the whitest non-white person in Calgary?!
There are stacks of evidence to suggest that you are certainly not a pasty white guy (*cough schurchill39) and may in fact be partially Middle Eastern, non?
I get a full chubby when I hear about Iranian or Lebanese people going to NASCAR or Monster Trucks shit like this. I fuckin love it.
Respek, Habibi!

[schurchill39]

a pasty white guy (*cough schurchill39)

You're spittin' facts.

[sabad66]

Lol yeah we are very white washed Lebanese. Kiddo had fun at the pit party. Even got his shiny new overpriced grave digger toy signed by the driver

But yeah def go early. I ran into someone there that showed up at 3 and didn’t get in til halfway intermission

[ThePenIsMightier]

This was awesome and paying extra for infield seats was totally worth it. I don't see how there could be better seats than where we ended up The extra $70 for a t-shirt, hat and programme, was a bit of BS.

My Vishnu, do kids ever love this. Absolutely vibrating with excitement and completely freaking the fuck out over the strangest things during the show. Which is pretty fuckin cool.

And the event was pretty awesome. I would definitely go again. It was far better than I expected. Dirt bike jumping during intermission was also a fantastic add.
