Twelve-thousand-pound monster trucks will take over the Broncos’ home stadium next week when Monster Jam brings its Stadium Championship Series West to Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday, May 9.
The event will feature head-to-head racing, a skills challenge and freestyle competitions in which drivers pilot massive trucks through gravity-defying stunts, jumps and backflips. It marks the sixth time Monster Jam has performed at Empower Field.
Among the highlights: the Denver debut of Bailey Circuit, a brand-new truck created through a collaboration between Monster Jam and The Greatest Show On Earth, inspired by Ringling’s robotic dog. The truck will be driven by Cory Rummell.
