Monster trucks will invade Syracuse when Monster Jam comes to town on Saturday April 6th.

Enjoy big-time family fun at Monster Jam, where the worlds best drivers and their 12,000-pound monster trucks tear up the dirt in wide-open competitions of speed and skill. Witness massive stunts, big-air, backflips and fierce head-to-head battles for the Event Championship. You will be on the edge of your seat watching the worlds most popular trucks like Grave Digger, Max-D, Megalodon and more push the limits in Freestyle, Skills and Racing competitions.

If you're curious about what goes into Monster Jam, here's a rundown on all the facts. Each truck is over 10 feet tall, 12.5 feet wide, 17 feet long and weighing approximately 12,000 pounds. The tires alone are 43 inches wide and 66 inches in diameter. Thanks to each trucks supercharger, they generate 1,500 horsepower. These bad boys are transported in special trailers designed to carry the massive trucks.
