However, this event is particularly unique because it marks the last Monster Jam that will be held at EverBank before it becomes “The Stadium of the Future.”

News4JAX spoke to communications officials who said they’re still deciding on a location for next year’s Monster Jam and have begun the process of looking at potential venues in Jacksonville.

Before the festivities officially kicked off, people like Kevin Grant participated in a “pit party” where kids could be seen riding monster truck replicas and families could get an up close and personal view of their favorite trucks and drivers.

“It’s fun to see their level of excitement,“ Grant said. ”And to see pretty much the same level of excitement in their faces that I had as a child, it’s a great experience.”

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office provided a friendly reminder to the community, asking everyone to be patient and safe as they navigate traffic brought on by Monster Jam, which begins at 7 p.m., and Shane Gillis’s performance at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, which begins at 8 p.m.
