Monster Jam, the monster truck rally that descends on the Q each year, turns the arena floor into a racetrack by dumping truckloads of dirt and building a series of jumps and obstacles. At approximately 12- feet high and 12-feet wide, Monster Jam trucks sit atop 66-inch-tall tires that allow them to roll over just about anything. Competition commences at 1 and 7 p.m. today and at 1 and 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, and pit parties take place on both days at 10:30 a.m. Tickets start at $15. (Niesel)
