We went to Monster Jam 2009 Saturday evening. We bought the tickets shortly after Monster Jam 2008 last January. Last year, I took Joshua and his friends Julia and Zach. This year, all four of us went. The adventure started right away since we decided to take Phoenix's new light rail downtown. Here's a picture of the Price 101 / Apache Road station, which is about 6 miles north of our house and where we parked our car.
Here's a picture of Jacqueline holding our tickets:
It definitely was NOT quicker, but it was a lot less hassle and the tickets were cheaper than parking. We paid $5 for two all-day passes for me and Brandi and $1.25 for an all-day pass for Joshua. Jacqueline (being under 6) was free. It took about 40 minutes to get downtown and since were were dropped off behind the stadium, we had to walk a bit to get there. Once inside, though, we had a great view of the action:
We stayed for the whole thing! I was worried that it'd take forever to get back on the train, but they had empty trains showing up ever couple of minutes to take people back. We were sitting down in about 5 minutes after leaving and I asked a kid on the train to take our picture:
Overall, a great time! The rest of my pictures, and Joshua's, will be posted on our SmugMug site soon.
Thanks,
Matt
