    Went with my son when he was 4, and again when he was 5. He is now 7 and has no interest in seeing it again as long as it is in the Pepsi Center. It is just too small. Trucks simply just pop over 1 small set of smooshed cars. Thats it. Turn around, and go back. Park and the next one goes. The noise and seeing it the 1st time was awesome for him. The 2nd time had very little impact on him. I wish there could be a big venue for Monster Jam like you see on TV. Where they have the freestyle competition, races, and several other heats to the event.

    My two sons feel the same way. I'll take them out to Parker to see Grave Digger though.

    I have been wondering about these shows, My kids are still too young, but how often does this show run through here? This is the first time I recall seeing a monster truck show in years. Also, isnt the Can a bit small for this? Wouldn't Mile High be a better venue?

    Hopefully this is an annual thing?

    From watching the shows on TV (DVR coz my kid loves them) Most of the venues are definitely football stadiums. We went and saw a smaller show at the Denver Coliseum and they definitely dont get much room to romp but it can be just as loud and effective. Probably wont see huge air or backflips but entertaining nonetheless.

    We went once at the Coliseum, and it was just way too small a venue for that. Needs to be an outdoor thing.

    Loud is always a crowd pleaser, but that only lasts so long. It was rumored 2 yrs ago that the drivers were considering leaving Denver out of their tour. They HATE our venues where we have them run. Absolutely nothing like what you see on tv.

    I think you have to have a pit pass and it's usually prior to the start of the event.
