Good show, but rain put a damper on quality
by Derek on 4/23/24Gillette Stadium - FoxboroughAs always, it was a lot of fun attending the annual show in Foxboro. The competitor line-up was solid, and I am glad they are trying to innovate some of the course layouts this year. Unfortunately a small cell of rain hit the area roughly 30 minutes before show time, and soaked the entire track. Having seen rain affected shows in the past on television, I was weary about how the show's quality would be affected, and unfortunately it did take a hit. Very little traction was available for the trucks to grip the thick mud, and the drivers could only do so much. The skills competition suffered a lot, and freestyle was the biggest let down, because I know this field of drivers can perform a lot better with a dry track. The lack of huge air, saves, and traction unfortunately took the event down a few pegs. Overall it was still a decent show. The drivers did try the best they could with the rain/mud, but were limited. I would still absolutely recommend monster jam to anyone interested. Still makes me feel like a little kid again, especially being a fan for over 20 years now. Just be mindful if you are attending an outdoor event, and rain is in the forecast.
