How can you not be a fan of Grave Digger? Well, if you are or aren’t, you get the chance to see him live when Monster Jam comes screeching into Cincinnati next month. He’ll be at all three shows playing in Cincinnati this year. We wish the show was in July (we actually just wish it was July), and outside at the stadium, but as we missed seeing Monster Jam completely in Cincinnati last year, so we’ll take it at US Bank Arena.
Here’s the official blerb on the show for you:
“Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam®, starring the biggest performers on four wheels: Monster Jam monster trucks! The twelve-feet-tall, ten-thousand-pound machines will bring you to your feet, racing and ripping up a custom-designed track full of obstacles to soar over or smash through! Monster Jam provides a massive night’s entertainment tailored perfectly for your family’s budget, and these colorful, larger-than-life beasts are sure to capture the hearts of both young and old.”
My family loves this show: we love the kitsch; the jumping and crashing; the hoopla; and even the noise.

Did you know this about Monster Trucks? Approximately 12 feet tall and about 12 feet wide, monster trucks are custom-designed machines that sit atop 66-inch-tall tires and weigh a minimum of 10,000 pounds. Built for short, high-powered bursts of speed, monster trucks generate 1,500 to 2,000 horsepower and are capable of speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. Monster trucks can fly up to 125 to 130 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side by side) and up to 35 feet in the air.
