5/3/2023 0 Comments Monster truck jam dallas texasWe spent the rest of the time snacking on overpriced sno cones and dinner, which was actually all quite tasty. $75 dollars later, the twins and I had our motor sports hearing sets (my stubborn dad chose to use the small, disposable ear plugs which do absolutely zero for the noise). We used this time to go buy our hearing protection, which ended up being $25 per headset. ![]() Plus, trucks!!Īfter the pre-show there is about 1.5 hours of waiting for show time so they can get the trucks in place. My boys loved this aspect of the show and it was a great photo opportunity. Dragging two groggy kids and my fashionable, clear bag down an estimated 154 ramps of the stadium seems easy enough, right? We were only down in the pit for about 45 minutes before the party ended, but it was enough to get two 3 year olds up close to some of the trucks. No one warned me that the walk down to the pit was about a ten minute walk down a maze to the bottom of the venue, and the hardest cardio workout I’d have all month. The pre-show is usually an extra charge and a 3 hour event where you can walk on the stadium floor and get up close to several of the trucks and their drivers parked for display. Naturally, on the way there, my small children fell asleep so we were late to getting down to the pre-show pit tour. I also borrowed a clear bag (aka: a purse for sporting events) so I could carry my personal items and I felt prepared for show time. People told me that you could buy this protective hearing gear for children for about $10 each, which was on par with an Amazon purchase, so I waited to buy them at the stadium. The number one thing people mentioned was to get hearing protection. The first monster truck show we went to I thought I had done my research. So with a little coaxing, I got local show tickets and pre-show pit tickets so we could have a fun outing with our Papa. This wasn’t some old family tradition, but I liked the idea of starting new traditions for my children. This reasoning was amusing to me since my parents had NEVER taken me to a monster truck show as a child. This tradition started when they were about 3 and my father insisted this was a thing he’d want his grandsons to remember going to them when they grew up. ![]() ![]() Monster truck shows are an annual tradition I’ve had with my twin boys for years.
