Disclosure: I am a Feld Family Ambassador, and in exchange for my time and efforts in attending shows and reporting my opinion within this blog, as well as keeping you advised of the latest discount offers, Feld Entertainment has provided me with complimentary tickets.  Even though I receive these benefits, I always give an opinion that is 100% mine.

We attended the opening night of Monster Jam, it was action-packed with flips, tricks, vertical two-wheel skills, and racing at speeds up to 70 miles per hour to produce jaw-dropping, live motorsports action.  All this weekend you can catch Monster Jam. As Big As It Gets!™ Save $5 on select seats with offer code DIGGER.

Our family loves going to Monster Jam, the crowd gets into cheering for their favorite truck and drivers. The energy inside the Golden 1 Center is so exhilarating! It really does take so much skill to maneuver those huge trucks in such a tight spot.


There are competitions between the trucks and you can vote for your favorite right on your phone.  They start out with a racing competition, then a 2-wheel skills challenge, there is a donut competition, and our favorite the freestyle competition. All the drivers bring excitement and fun but the driver of El Toro Loco Elvis Lainez was definitely our favorite of the night. He made everyone want to get up on their feet, he even did the griddy dance. He also proudly represented the Latin community, making my Latina heart happy. Speaking in Spanish and English, he encouraged the young people in the arena to dream big and follow their passion, I loved it! El Toro Loco was the winner across the board for Friday's Opening Night. 

Another favorite part of the show is the motorcycles! They also get in on the action, doing jumps and doing flips, and tricks in the air.  If you want a sneak peek check out my TikTok or Instagram Stories @BlogAboutItAll.

Things to know before you go:

Golden 1 Center has a no-bag policy. Only small clutches and wallets smaller than 8"x6"x1" are allowed, they are strict on this, so leave your purses and bags at home, or consolidate them into a small fanny pack size bag.  They permit infant bags and medical bags.  All bags must go through an X-ray machine.  The entry line we were in, went rather quickly and smoothly.

The concession stands accept Apple Pay, which I love because then I just need my phone. They had Monster Jam merch and souvenirs for sale as well as snow cones, popcorn, and Golden 1 Center Food (nachos, hot dogs, pizza, and more). 

Popcorn is $15, and it comes with a Monster Jam tote bag. Cotton Candy is $20 it comes with a mask. They have two different Snow Cone cup styles, which are $20 and $25. The Golden 1 Center has a souvenir bottomless soda cup for $10. 

If you have never attended Monster Jam, it is really loud, if you have younger kiddos, bringing ear protection or some kind of earplugs is important.  They do have ear protection you can purchase there, but if you want to save some money, buy them before you arrive.  

You can reserve your parking spot ahead of time at SacPark.org. You can also use the Spot Hero App. We typically park at the Wells Fargo Center, it is a short walk, the in-building elevators have you exit right next to the Il Fornaio Restaurant. The Wells Fargo Center Parking Garage costs $13.
