Monster Jam Comes to East Rutherford on Saturday

(EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ) -- Experience big-time family fun at Monster Jam®. The most unexpected, unscripted and unforgettable motorsports experience for families and fans in the world today returns to East Rutherford for an adrenaline-charged weekend at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at 7:00pm.

This action-packed summer event is highlighted by the first-ever Monster Jam competitive debut of Sparkle Smashä, the all-new six-ton unicorn with colorful charisma and a bold attitude, recently revealed at Monster Jam World Finals® XXIII last week – plus the East Rutherford truck debut of the JCB DIGatronä truck as well. At Monster Jam, world champion athletes and their 12,000-pound monster trucks tear up the dirt in wide-open competitions of speed and skill.

The excitement begins at the Monster Jam Pit Party held in East Rutherford on Saturday. Fans can see the massive trucks up close, meet their favorite drivers and crews, get autographs, and take pictures. Activities include the Sand Box play area, UNOH tire demonstration, coloring and temporary tattoo station, and new photo ops, including the chance to take a photo with the championship trophy. This fun-filled experience is the only place that allows people to get up close access to the Monster Jam teams and get an insider’s look at how these trucks are built to stand up to the competition.

Fans are encouraged to get to their seats early to experience Monster Jam Trackside approximately one hour before the event start time. Featured festivities include competition previews, driver interviews, giveaways, opening ceremonies and power rush truck introductions.

East Rutherford fans will be on the edge of their seats as the world’s best drivers show off crazy skills and all-out racing in fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championship. Engineered to perfection, the 12,000-pound Monster Jam trucks push all limits in Freestyle, Skills, and Racing competitions. Monster Jam drivers are trained, world-class male and female athletes who have mastered not only the physical strength and mental stamina needed to compete, but the vital dexterity to control 12,000-pound machines capable of doing backflips, vertical two-wheel skills and racing at speeds up to 70 miles-per-hour to produce jaw-dropping, live motorsports action seen around the world.
