so did anyone go to the show in Houston? i went last night and it was awesome. The Fords out there really wrecked shop.

 

I took the family .. we had a blast. Tickets are a great value. Everyone invloved with the show is great. I would highly recommend it. My wife even enjoyed herself.

The venue, on the other hand. someone needs to slap the reliant stadium people up side the head.

4 bottles of water, 4 hot dogs. 39 freaking dollars. what a rip off the food was. We still had a blast though.

 

and a couple more .. Starting with my 4 year old son .. You have to educate them when they are young.

 

What motor powers those Fords

 

That looks great

I'm going when they come to Tampa in about two weeks

 

i know what you mean. a small coke was $4. i still had fun though. it was awesome watching Maximum Destruction tear his truck apart at the end.


EDIT: a monster jam commercial came on right as i finished typing this.lol Kids seats are still just FIVE DOLLARS!!!

 

took my 7 and 11 year old and a friend of my 11 year old, had a great time.

maximum destruction made the show.

the 4 wheeler race was like wrestling on 4 wheels.

on a sad note, a guy right by us had a heart attack, i dont think he made it.

 

man that sucks about the guy. if i was gonna die though. i'd want it to be at Monster Jam with my family. it was a great show. i wish i could go to the Freestyle day on the 19th. my phone died last night from all the video and pictures i took. probably the most fun ive had this whole break

 

I went but ticketmaster screwed up our tickets. The date was wrong, but the event name was correct. Tried to just buy tickets but it was SRO by 8 so we gave up. I always enjoy these shows

 

that sucks. i got there at around 7. then waited in line for about 20 minutes to get tickets. by the time i made it to my seat it had already started. we missed grave digger get disqualified.

 

i got to the ticket line, waited 30 minutes to be told that it was standing room only. (cant believe it sold out)

found a scalper, paid $30 a seat and the seats were awsome. we missed the first 30 minutes.

does this event typically sale-out?

 

It has the last couple years, surprising how popular these events are.

What did Gravedigger get DQ'ed for?

 

Yes. they almost always sell out .. and there is usually 20k or so of walk up ticket sales

Traffic is horrible for the shows as well. The best way is to get Pit party passes and get there really early. The pit party runs from 3:00 to 5:00, and allows you to walk around on the floor, and meet the drivers, and take pictures with the trucks and drivers.

We got the the stadium about 2:30. Went inside about 3:15, walked around and took pictures with the kids and the trucks and drivers, got some autographs, then left the floor about 4:30 or so and got some food.

Then we went to our seats, and watched them clear the floor and start setting things up .. pretty cool, and it takes the stress off of fighting the crowds at 7:00.

The start of the show is one of the best things, because all of the trucks are out running and jumping at the same time .. Loud as hell.


I posted some more of my pictures on Webshots ..
