  1. Ford Field really isn't much bigger than most domes. Ironically, Vegas is one of the smallest stadiums MJ runs in.

     

    That's what really concerns me. After I saw Koehler's crash at WF7 and Blackwell's crash at WF10 I wondered just how safe the audience is when they have such high speeds and such large obstacles. There will soon be a point where these trucks just won't be able to be contained within such floor space.

  2. Okay well I've been doing some YouTube research since there's so many stadiums you've guys listed and I think I've ranked them by size pretty well. 

     

    1. Mercedes Benz Superdome (New Orleans)

     

    2. Olympic Stadium (Montreal)

     

    3. Edward Jones Dome (St. Louis)

     

    4. Citrus Bowl (Orlando)

     

    5. Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego)

     

    6. Ford Field (Detroit)

     

    7. Cowboy Stadium (Arlington)

     

    I'm not very good at judging distances, I'm just making assumptions based on how the trucks compared to the floor and how they maneuver in the stadium. I also compared each stadium's seating charts, but it was very inconclusive because some stadiums use different sized football field diagrams. :c

     

    Feel free to critique my findings and make some of your own. xP

  3. I've always wondered what the biggest floor Monster Jam or any monster truck organization runs on. I don't mean race tracks or airfields, but actual stadiums. I think monster trucks have gotten so fast and out of control that they have "outgrown" certain arenas (cough Sam Boyd cough).

    So for the largest stadium floor, I'd have to go with the Superdome in New Orleans.

    I took this from the highest section with my phone earlier this year. Just look at all the unused floor space.

  4. So New Orleans is getting Grave Digger®, Max-D℠ driven by Tom Meents, Monster Mutt® Rottweiler, Iron Man™, Advance Auto Parts Grinder℠, Bounty Hunter, Scarlet Bandit, Black Stallion, Iron Warrior, Bad Habit, Shock Therapy, Ground Pounder, Gunslinger, Incinerator, Scooby-Doo™ and Zombie℠!!

    Subject to change without notice.

     

    Notes:

    -Zombie and Scooby Doo. Lucky me. :wacko:

    -Luckily we'll get to see the pretty light-up Max-D. Because you know, if light up shoes make you go faster, a light up truck will make you go higher. 

    -Yay Iron Man, more pretty light up trucks.

    -Scarlet Bandit <3 YESYESYESYESYES. I hope Dawn is still running zoomies.   :wub:  

    -Black Stallion/Iron Warrior. I thought these trucks died or something,  :huh:

    -Gunslinger... aww... too bad Chris Bergeron won't be there to t-bone him.

    -Shock Therapy/Ground Pounder.. if there weren't any SIR trucks I'd be offended.

    -Grave Digger... no driver confirmed. Well Dennis, when you do come back to the Dome, instead of making an emotional speech, can you do Mr. Destruction pt. 2 with backflips and frontflips?  :lol:

  5. My dad works a job that requires him to work certain days which he simply cannot call off for. Hint: he uses guns and stuff. So we've never been able to establish any Christmas/Xmas traditions because he isn't always home for it. On Christmas Eve we take very long drives around the area and just enjoy the night, no music, seldom talking. It's very relaxing because around this time my mom scrambles to buy presents and all of that mess. Either we open presents on the Eve or on Christmas Day, but either way it's always a special moment,

     

    Christmas always seems to be the fastest day of the year for me. I know it is physically shorter because it's Winter, but it just seems to fly by. I often find myself reminiscing about the year and start wrapping it up to begin the next. Christmas isn't one of my favorite holidays simply because of the emotions it brings out in me. I always find it sort of sad. :c

  6. Well if no one is going to halp, can someone at least guide me to where I can get the stuff needed to take this on? xP

     

    If I'm being a bother, feel free to lock the topic. :c

  7. Baltimore 2011 is the most sentimental to me. Mostly because I was there, and it was right in front of me! That was the most exciting moment I've ever had in my life.

     

     

    Buttttttt. I have to go with New Orleans 2008. Mostly because I don't think a monster truck has ever been destroyed to pieces in a freestyle like that before, and still been able to run. That WAS Neil Elliot also, not Tom.

     

    I think that the run in New Orleans in 2008 summed up why the team is called Maximum Destruction, and why I think it deserves to win. I've heard drivers say they want to tear the truck up before, but Neil demolished it and sent parts flying everywhere.

  8. Name: SicЖiss (Sick Kiss)

    Body: Ground Pounder

    Chassis: Ground Pounder

    Paint: Black, white, grey, and pink.

    Side drawing:

    Details:

    I would like the side "SicЖiss" logo to be on a grey background. The borderlines between the different colors are supposed to be like tears in the body as if it were cloth. The front of the truck (hood, fenders) would be white, with the middle (sides, cab) being black, and the rear being white. If it is possible, I would like the headlights and taillights be made pink. On the hood I would like the SicЖiss symbol (provided below) on a grey background (similar to the side wording). On the tailgate I would like the same wording as on the side, but without the grey backing.

    If anyone is willing to attempt this for me; thank you in advance. 8D

    Hopefully it won't be too hard. :P

  9. I don't know where to ask this, but...

    Can you request a truck/skin to be made if it doesn't actually exist? This must be asked a million times, but I've gone through most of the requests and I haven't seen any that have been made by users here. >_>
