Monster Jam returning to St. Paul for first time since 1994
Trucks are going to fly through the air in St. Paul in ways they haven't in decades.
For the first time in more than 30 years, Monster Jam is back in the state's capital, rolling into Xcel Energy Center for three events on July 12 and 13.
The monster truck rally, which has most recently been held at U.S. Bank Stadium, in Minneapolis, last visited the capital in 1994 at the long-gone St. Paul Civic Center. Now, it'll make its debut at the home of the Minnesota Wild.
The event features drivers competing in four categories: racing, skills, donuts, and the freestyle competition, where the 12,000-pound trucks perform absurd feats. Throughout the event, fans can score drivers in real time, helping to crown the Event Champion.
For connoisseurs of the monster truck arts, the tentative lineup includes Grave Digger, Megalodon, El Toro Loco, Scooby-Doo, and the unicorn-styled Sparkle Smash, among others. The brother-and-sister team of Brandon and Mikayla Tulachka and the Robbins brothers are among the drivers expected for the Xcel event.
Monster Jam will also let fans get up close to the show's stars with a Pit Party before each day's competition's. Those separately ticketed events will include the chance to meet drivers and snap selfies with the hulking trucks.
Tickets for Monster Jam are on sale now for Monster Jam Preferred Customers. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, June 20.
