Dirt in the Dome: Monster Jam comes to Syracuse on Saturday

“Imagine that moment, you get to the Dome, you get that energy, like with basketball and football, you feel it,” Bryce Kenny, driver of Great Clips Mohawk Warrior, a monster truck competing in the Monster Jam series said. “You can almost smell the dirt. Then you get to your seats and you see the eight-foot-high jumps.”

For one night every year, the Carrier Dome transforms from a court or a field to an obstacle-filled, dirt racetrack for monster trucks.

“I like to say: It’s an assault on your senses.”

That’s how Kenny, who has been driving in the Monster Jam circuit for three years, describes what any Syracuse Orange fan who might just have some free time this weekend should be thinking if they venture inside the Dome.
