Monster Jam roared into Capital One Arena on Saturday, January 27th. Arriving at the venue with my son, we were both in awe of the of the arena’s set up. As we made our way to our seats, one of the usher’s asked had we ever been a Monster Jam show, before to which we both replied no, and the usher informed us we in for an exciting night.
Monster Jam is best described by their website as “the most live action packed event on four wheels.” Fans of the show would be inclined to agree, and many of the drivers in the show would as well. I spoke with Cory Snyder, one of the stars of the show and a D.C. native. We talked a little about his personal history with Monster Jam and what it means to him. I have to say, I was quite surprised.
