MONSTER JAM Comes to Tacoma Dome, Today

Monster Jam Triple Threat Series, the most family-friendly, action-packed motorsport in the world races back to "Rock The Dome" to keep Puget Sound motorsport fans on the edge of their seats with adrenaline-charged, high-flying, four-wheel excitement that is fun for the entire family.

Featuring the eight most intense athletes of Monster Jam, Tacoma fans will witness a fierce battle for the championship that tests the versatility of the athletes as they go head-to-head in seven different competitions driving three customized high-powered vehicles: the larger-than-life 12,000 lb.

These extreme athletes battle for points in challenging Racing and Freestyle events that push themselves and their machines to the limit - delivering what fans want to see the most... more trucks, more racing, more freestyle, more donuts, more wheelies, more action!
