Marvel at the gravity-defying experience of monster trucks when Monster Jam arrives at NRG Stadium on Saturdays and Sundays from Saturday, January 30 through Valentine’s Day, Sunday, February 14, 2021.

For three weekends in January, the 12,000-pound monster trucks that highlight the world-famous tour known as Monster Jam will descend on Houston for seven spectacles of rip-roaring, car-crushing, show-stopping action.

Fan favorites like Grave Digger, Megalodon, Scooby-Doo and more will take to the dirt course for freestyle, skills challenges and racing competitions across each of the seven scheduled events.

Seating for the Monster Jam events at NRG Stadium will be reduced and confined to pre-determined “seating pods” that are physically distanced from one another. First run tickets are still available, but you may also find cheaper or better seats on the TicketNetwork resale marketplace.

Social Distancing & COVID-19

Businesses and organizations in Houston have opened under modified protocols, following guidelines administered by local health officials, the State of Texas and CDC. At this time, guidance from experts urges people to continue wearing face masks when in public spaces, practice social distancing of at least six feet, limit your touching of surfaces and frequently use hand sanitizer or soap and water to keep your hands clean.

Although vaccines have been approved and distribution has begun, supplies are still limited. Health officials have severely cautioned that it will take until late spring 2021 before the U.S. might be able to expect a level of herd immunity. In the meantime, masks are strongly advised to help curb the increasing spread of COVID-19 this winter.

Before heading out, take time to familiarize with your destination’s requirements or restrictions at this moment, and be sure to contact them ahead of time with any questions or concerns.
