The most macho, chest-thumping event of the year is set for this weekend. The four-wheeled daredevils of the Monster Jam series return to First Ontario Centre (Copps Coliseum) in Hamilton. The arena is downtown at 101 York Blvd in Hamilton, so make sure to get there early if you expect to park in the same postal code!
Back in the day, these 12,000 lb beasts with their 1,500 supercharged V8s would put on a high-flying show at the Sky Dome each January. But the smaller Hamilton hockey arena doesn’t allow for the same speed, or height off the ramps. It’s much more of a precision driving display as the trucks get up on two-wheels to perform stunts in a more controlled chos.
Here’s a quick video of the 2022 event!
