Cleveland's Monster Jam Prepares with Special Dirt and Precautions

Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse transforms with 70 loads of unique dirt for the thrilling weekend event.

Cleveland's Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse transforms into Monster Jam arena with 70 dump truck-loads of special local dirt.
The dirt, free of rocks and debris, is rented annually and has the consistency of perfect snowman-making snow.
Preparations for the event include protecting the floor and seats, with work starting at 2 a.m. to be ready for the weekend.
Monster trucks like Grave Digger and Bigfoot will race and jump on the carefully prepared dirt track.
The dirt is stored about a mile away in an industrial area, kept outside in a pile all year.
