Bring earplugs: Monster Jam rolls into Stampede Park

Big trucks will entertain fans at GMC Stadium Grandstand this weekend when Monster Jam rolls into town

Calgarians going to Stampede Park this weekend might want to bring earplugs.

Monster Jam is back in town, entertaining fans at the GMC Stadium Grandstand.

Drivers promise their 12,000 pound trucks will perform high-flying action and jaw-dropping stunts.

Two fan favourites -- The Classroom Crusher school bus and Sparkle Smash, with its unicorn horn -- will be there.

“Absolutely pumped. It’s my first time here bringing the old Classroom Crusher to Calgary,” said driver Camden Murphy. “You’re gonna have an absolute blast. We’ve got two action-packed events this weekend, one Saturday, one Sunday, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

“We do Monster Jam racing, we do a two-wheel skills challenge and then we do freestyle which is what Monster Jam is really known for,” said Sparkle Smash driver Kayla Blood. “Having two minutes on the track to throw in anything and everything that you can to excite the fans, get them out of their seats and screaming, whether that be back flips, big air, crazy crashes -- which I’m very known for.”

There will be pit parties before both the Saturday and Sunday shows where fans can meet drivers and get autographs.

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
