Monster Jam shakes up Amerant Bank Arena (includes video story)

Monster Jam shook crowds at Amerant Bank Arena on August 22 and 23. 

Small arenas like the one in Sunrise offer an intricate view of the driving and darting and flying the trucks often do.

“I really tell people that this is going to be the up-close and personal Monster Jam show,” said Krysten Anderson, driver of the iconic black and green Grave Digger. “You’re going to be within 40 or 50 feet of a monster truck doing a 20-foot backflip.” 

Anderson won the final of the three-weekend event on Sunday afternoon. 

Monster Jam will return to Florida in 2027.
