Kinja'd!!!

I am a redneck in my soul and this is the most redneck thing you can do as a southerner. Monster Jam in a basketball arena.

That’s not a tractor pull or a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, 7/10 on the redneck scale.

Sometimes you just have to embrace your inner redneck. It is a good thing.

We bought regular tickets and my friend got us into the suites. It’s fantastic.

Monster trucks in a SEC basketball arena. This is waaaay better.

Seeing this made me wonder if there’s more than one Gravedigger since it seems to be at every monster truck event ever. So I googled it. There are 9.

But it’s basketball. The south doesn’t care that much about it. If it was in the middle of Neyland, I’d give more points.

I took my son to a monster jam a few years ago. There’s nothing better than monster trucks to put a giant grin on a little boy’s face! The Baton Rouge arena isn’t much bigger than what you saw. It makes for a very LOUD experience.

Yep, it’s not a dirt track or tractor pull. I gave it a 7/10, but now that I think about it, I’m gonna lower it to a 6, because it’s not a mud bog either.

Yeah 6-7 range sounds about right.

I’m surprised the crowd is that thin. They come here to Houston and virtually sell out NRG Stadium three times each year.

On the plus side, the small arena makes the trucks even louder.

On the minus side, there’s no room for them to really do anything cool.

I’m surprised they did it at a basketball arena

They always host it at the Bucaneers football stadium. 100 yards seems like plenty

Throw in a ball and two goals and you’ve got a IRL Rocket League, standard match.

Do they have room to do ANYTHING?

Some of the best people watching I ever encountered, was when I took my son to Monster Jam at the GA Dome. Seriously, Nascar, Walmart at midnight can’t hold a candle to MJ.

Monster Mutt came out and flipped on the very first timed race. Other then that it was a annoying because every time someone would start doing something fun like Donuts, they would get a “stop doing that” flashing red and green light.
