Monster Jam Review – Sacramento August 2024 #MonsterJam

August 17, 2024 by Stefani Tolson 13 Comments

Last night was the opening night for Monster Jam in Sacramento. Watching monster trucks is something my whole family enjoys so know that we were there to see the new Sparkle Smash truck in action. My family has always been a fan of the Grave Digger but over the years I have added more favorites to my list, like El Toro Loco and Megalodon.

Last night most of the trucks were driven by females which makes me happy! I have 3 daughters and seeing those female drivers behind the wheels of those big trucks puts a smile on my face. The new Sparkle Smash truck was driven by Kayla Blood who I have seen on the Monster Jam track in the past. Last night was the first time that we seen a female driver behind the wheel of the Grave Digger. To make it even more cool, the truck was driven by Krysten Anderson who happens to be the daughter of Monster Jam Hall of Famer Dennis Anderson. She isn’t a new driver but the first time I seen her driving the iconic Grave Digger truck!

Last night was definitely fun! I have to say that I LOVE the look of the Sparkle Smash truck so I just may be adding this truck to my list of favorites. I even bought myself a little Sparkle Smash truck souvenir to put on my desk. Who else thinks this truck gives them Lisa Frank vibes?

My family loves when Monster Jam comes town. We are all EXCITED to attend the opening night next Friday at the Golden 1 Center where we are going to see the first-ever Sacramento Monster Jam competitive debut of Sparkle Smash! This truck is a unicorn with colors that give me Lisa Frank vibes… 🙂

I like most of these big Monster Jam trucks. El Toro Loco, one of our family FAVORITES will also be at Monster Jam in Sacramento next weekend. I love seeing this truck do its tricks.

The excitement begins at the MonsterJam Pit Party held in Sacramento prior to the events on Saturday and Sunday. Fans can see the massive trucks up close, meet their favorite drivers and crews, get autographs, and take pictures. Activities include the Sand Box play area, UNOH tire demonstration, coloring and temporary tattoo station, and new photo ops, including the chance to take a photo with the Series trophy.
