Monster Jam 2013: Colonial Life Arena
Friday, Feb 8-Saturday, Feb 9, 2013
If you're not familiar with the phenomenon that is Monster Jam, here's the skinny: at Monster jam shows, monster trucks face off in both racing and freestyle competitions. Freestyle competition allows each driver 60 or 90 seconds to freestyle drive and bring the fans to their feet in a mechanical ballet of spectacularly high jumps and frenzied maneuvering. Cars, buses, caravans, boats, large trucks, and even airplanes may show up on the track as obstacles for the drivers to tackle. Experience Monster Jam 2013 at the Colonial life Arena. For show times and ticket information, visit the Colonial Life Arena's event page here! To find out more about the 2013 Monster Jam tour, visit the official website here!
