Monster Jam Is Coming Back To Tampa Bay This Summer

Author Stiffy

This SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER, Monster Jam is coming back to Tampa Bay. But your favorite Monster Truck won’t be invading Raymond James Stadium like they do in January and February. This time they’ll be going wild at Amalie Arena!

Bring noise cancelling headphones with you Saturday, August 19, because I’m willing to bet it’s going to be LOUD inside Amalie Arena. If you want to go to the Pit Party, you’ll need Pit Passes. Those will run you $20 each, but you’ll be able to see the trucks up close, meet the drivers, get autographs, and take pictures. The Pit Party is from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

This year is the debut of ThunderROARus! The newest truck in the Monster Jam lineup. Here’s the list of the other Monster Trucks coming:

  • Grave Digger
  • Megalodon
  • Monster Mutt Dalmatian
  • El Toro Loco
  • Wildside
  • Overboard
  • Just Get R Done

They’ll be two shows, 1 p.m. and 7 p.m where the monster trucks will compete in freestyle, skill, and racing competitions with a champion being crowned at the end of the show.

You can grab your tickets at the Amalie Arena Box Office or at  ticketmaster.com
