Meh… and a few zzzz’s
by Oh Snap on 3/27/24XL CENTER - HartfordThe pit party was disappointing. 2 of the main drivers including grave digger closed their lines 40 minutes in advance to the end of the session. I’m I paid to see them - not very fan friendly right? Security said the drivers asked to close the line early. The event is loud which is fine. Just bring ear protection and all’s good. It’s way too long and I live these trucks. Half the field either breaks down causing delays or cannot execute their stunts, at all! Terrible to watch. It’s amazing that 12000 points monster trucks can be boring but it was. My son of 13 and friend characterized certain sessions as snooze fests. Come on. The best part of the show outside the very beginning when they all come out is the motocross stunts intermission. The announcer continuously pointed out that the stadium shows are better than the arena and they will do their best - I paid money for an arena show so what are you talking about. And NO it absolutely didn’t make me want to see a stadium show if that was the angle. Stop hosting arena shows then and taking peoples money if it’s not to standard. I hear the hot wheels monster truck show is better more lights and spectacles. Overall a decent day with my son and his bud but I won’t be back. Disappointing and I wanted to love it so badly. May be better shows to spend your hard earned money on. They really need to take it up a notch and get creative. And maybe have the two drivers who shut down signature lines 40 min early rethink their decision. The fans make the show!!
