Live Events Rumble Back Into Town

Monster Jam, ComicCon lead the family event line-up

Published: July 26, 2021

The BB&T Center put the brakes on events during the height of the pandemic, but now, the venue is slowly accelerating, welcoming back a variety of entertainment.  

This month, Monster Jam rolls into Sunrise for an action-packed weekend of family fun Aug. 7-8.  Spectators can witness a high-energy spectacle as world-class athletes control 12,000-pound machines capable of doing backflips, vertical two-wheel skills, and speeds up to 70 mph. 

The all-star truck lineup includes legendary Grave Digger, driven by Krysten Anderson; Great Clips Mohawk Warrior, operated by Elvis Lainez; Monster Energy, driven by two-time Monster Jam World Finals Champion Todd LeDuc; and Scooby-Doo, operated by reigning Monster Jam World Finals Freestyle champion, Linsey Read. Other fan-favorite trucks scheduled are Jester, Kraken, Xtermigator, and FTI Torque.

The BB&T Center continues to monitor government mandates, health guidelines, and industry standards related to the pandemic. Information about the BB&T Center’s safety policy and WELL Health Certification can be found at http://www.thebbtcenter.com.

Other South Florida venues, including the Sunrise Civic Center, Broward Center for the Performing Arts, and the FTX Arena (formerly American Airlines Arena), have reopened their doors, too. 

On Aug. 14, Sunrise ComicCon entertains families with open-play gaming, a cosplay contest, artist and author appearances, and more at the Sunrise Civic Center. 

Looking ahead, WWE Monday Night Raw heads to the FTX Arena in Miami on Sept. 6, and Paw Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure takes to the stage Sept. 11-12 at the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale. 

Monster Jam will be held at the BB&T Center at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Aug. 7 and at 1 p.m. Aug. 8. A Pit Party takes place from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets start at $25. Pit Passes cost $15 each. The BB&T Center is located at One Panther Parkway in Sunrise. Tickets are available online at http://www.ticketmaster.com.
