Good monster truck event. My first time to this type of venue and this particular track. The locals let you park in their yard for the same price as at the track but a lot quicker exiting. The track dirt mounds made for some good aerial hang time. They serve beer here at a reasonable price for a track.
So much potential, so much heritage, so much missed opportunity. NASCAR is a dying sport at the local level, and Stafford has not been immune to this downturn. As a venue it's accessible and plenty large, but the owners seem more interested in pocketing the profits (which I'd guess are diminishing) than investing in the facility. Bathrooms are unacceptable (even for a race track), concessions are sub-par, and the facilities themselves (buildings, etc) are in a general state of neglect.
A dirt race track. It's was for a monster truck show. Plenty of parking amd lots of bleacher seats. Good spot for what it is. If anything I would like to see is more concessions for food and gifts. Having said that this venue is the perfect spot for a monster truck weekend.
I had a not so pleasant experience last night at Monster Jam. First, my family arrived with our tickets, which we purchased through Ticket Master (they are a whole separate story with their fee structure). We had printed them at home and the bar codes got a little messed up. It took 15 minutes for someone to figure out how to scan them properly. The first young man who was trying to help us got yelled at by another employee for leaving his post and trying to help us resolve the issue. Then there were the concessions. The only somewhat healthy choice of a sandwich was chicken wrapped in a pita for $14. $14!!! That is outrageous for a sandwich from a concession stand. I know the rain wasn't the speedway's fault, but when we attempted to stand under the stands to avoid it, we were told to move. The employee who told us to move even chased a young lady with what appeared to be a very young baby from under the stands. There is nowhere to go for protection if the weather gets bad. We were there about a total of 2 hours and decided to leave. The Monster Jam show was entertaining, but the speedway needs to make some changes to how they handle various issues and not rob people when it comes to the food that they sell. The ticket prices are a tad high, especially if you are forced to bail like we were. Everything is cash only, some come prepared with the green stuff. The ATM machine fee is $4.
To the ownership: find ways to increase your racer turnout, rumor has it that inconsistent rules and policies have driven people off. Clean up the campus so the buildings meet a higher level of cleanliness. Raise your standards and going to the races will appeal to a wider demographic.
Went here for the first time to see monster truck show. Parking took a long time to get out after the show. Food was expensive. One of the 4 pretzels we bought was discolored (grayish green) and rock hard. Didn't realize til we were back in our seats. Seat numbers are barely visible if at all + poorly marked areas. Seemed to be a lot of confusion in "reserved" seating. Listened to another attendee tell person after person that the seats near her were for" reserved" ticket holders. And watched people with reserved tickets have to ask others to get out of their seats. Awkward! Seams the whole seat problem could be solved with better signage and seat markings. All and all show was good and fun was had by all!
Instead of tough-truck events and Subaru meets, build a road-course on the premises. Track-day events are growing in popularity and will provide concessions and track-rental income all week. (If you can get it past the town).
