If you love the sound of revving engines and the smell of exhaust, then February has some fun in store for you. There’s not one, but two high-octane motorsports events taking place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, this month – Monster Jam, on Feb. 19, and round 8 of the AMA Supercross Championship, on Feb. 26. So grab your earplugs and get ready for all the action.
Monster Jam
If monster trucks are your jam, then Monster Jam is where it’s at! Some of the most famous trucks and drivers will show what they’re made of, as these supercharged, 1,500-horsepower mechanical beasts are pushed to the limit. You’ll see Grave Digger, El Toro Loco, Kraken, Max-D, and many more compete in various challenges including head-to-head races over, around, and through a punishing course built inside AT&T Stadium. There are also skills challenges, a donut competition, and a freestyle competition. The gates open at 5 PM and the action starts at 7 PM, on Feb. 19. Tickets start at $28 each and all fans aged 2 and older are required to have a ticket.
Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship

The 250SX-class riders will also compete. FanFest and qualifying rounds commence at noon, giving spectators an inside look as teams prepare, practice, and qualify for the main event.
