Sports Saturday: Monster Jam

February 12th, 2011 by WLOY Staff

Monster trucks. Monster drivers. MONSTER JAM.

That’s right, the carnival of carnage is coming to Baltimore at the end of February, setting up shop at the 1st Mariner Arena from the 25th until the 27th. Monster Jam is a live motorsport event that tours the country, allowing fans to look on as enormous trucks destroy smaller ones salvaged from scrap yards only to meet a more painful demise. Appearing in four separate installments, there will be competitions in both racing, as well as performing freestyle tricks with these monstrous machines. With names like “Grave Digger,” “Martial Law,” “Aftershock” and “Mechanical Mischief,” it’s almost impossible to turn away from the mayhem.

Ticket prices vary by seat, and times vary by day, yet all the information can be found on the Monster Jam official website. Ticket prices jump up an extra $2 the day of the actual event, so act quick to stay on track of the college student budget.

Also, be sure not to miss the one time only Pit Party on Saturday morning from 11:30am-1:00pm. I hear they get pretty wild.

The 1st Mariner Area is located at:
201 W. Baltimore Street
Baltimore, MD 21201
