Upcoming Event in Calgary: Monster Jam

 Upcoming event in Calgary 

There is a “Monster Jam” coming to Calgary at GMC stadium on September 14,15, 2024. It is one of the most action-packed and intense motorsports on four wheels. In a simple way, huge buggy trucks with good suspensions flip, jump, wheelie, and spin crazily. Basically all moves you don’t want your car to do, however, it’s exciting to watch. 

This is happening at GMC stadium where we have Calgary Stampede Rodeo shows every year. For this event, they have build dirt lumps and parks ready for the wheels to rage.
