Albany Ny times union center Show 9/18-19

[MCMsports]

Any one have any info all i kno is that FF Bf #15 is going to be there pretty much the only reason y im going cause im never seen 15 its on BF webpage

[Jjd92186]

What is the website that you found this on?

[Jjd92186]

Found the website, but no information on the trucks or show.

[Crazyman9]

I sent an email to the promoter & the Times Union Center asking for show information, just waiting for a reply. I'll post whatever information I get!

I also might take a drive down to the box office later this week and ask them about it!

[destructiondigger]

got my email back from the promoter and it said

The Albany Monster Truck Show will be at the Times Union Center, Sept
18 and 19. Tickets will be on sale soon. Bigfoot will be one of the
many trucks . Thanks cycle city promotions

..not much info than we already know lol

[Disturbingly Perfect]

not 100% but rick long was called on this show. dont know if it is him or not. nothing confirmed. that is the only truck i know/knew of.

[Jjd92186]

IDK why they are so tight on information. You would think that they would give you as much information as they can so more people would attend. From my stand point it seems ridiculous that there is nothing on the website especially since I am interested in possibly attending.

[destructiondigger]

its only 1 month away and still nothing im wanting to go too

[Adamsvilleusa]

It's just Bigfoot with Rick Long vs. me and my Wheely King. We'll be signing autographs after the show. Don't worry about autograph lines because nobody will ******* be there!

[KD58]

Rick and 15 are on the schedule I looked at today. As of the day I left Truk Wurks, the Eliminator and Defender were also scheduled on the show. As for any remaining trucks, I don't know off hand, but I would imagine that there would be 2 or 3 more to round out the field. I'll be there announcing and doing show production.

[Crazyman9]

Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the shows, not sure what the work schedule will look like. KD, if you need an extra set of hands I'd love to help out, I live about 5-10min from the arena.

[Disturbingly Perfect]

KD.... was with you last for honesdale and gaithersburg and did not know you were on here. it was nice to meet you regardless and well i might go help rick. ill have to talk to him next week when i see him. great job by the way in maryland.

[ProTruckChallenge]

what size is the show floor? is it worth a 5 hour drive?

[Adamsvilleusa]

what size is the show floor? is it worth a 5 hour drive?

It's not very big but it's big enough for a talented driver to put on a great show. I.e. Rap Attack this past January!

Here's a shot of the floor:

Same goes for me. If anyone needs help just let me know. We'll spread the word about the show.

[destructiondigger]

what do you guys think about the show being dirt or non dirt ?

[Adamsvilleusa]

what do you guys think about the show being dirt or non dirt ?

I hope they keep it pavement for this show. I thought it was pretty good in Jan. this year. Skip the dirt the put some nice van stacks in and it will be great!

[Crazyman9]

Here's the response I got from them:


Dates: September 18-19, 2009

Times: 7:30 PM both nights

Format: 5 Monsters and Pro Quad Racing

Track: Non-Dirt (concrete)

[look-out]

I will drive by the arena tomarrow morning when I get out work to see if theres any flyers around. I live about 15 blocks from the arena.

$23? Kinda steep. It had better be a good show or im sure there will be more complaining.

Same complaint I hear from everyone I know in the ny state capital region that goes to the times union center for monster trucks, "It cost more than lebanon valley and wasnt even half the show!"

One other thing, I've heard absolutely NO advertising for this show (radio, tv, nothing). I listen to a fairly wide variety of radio stations and seeing this thread tonight really suprised me.

I think most people on this forum will know what they're getting into for this show. Your average fan will probably compare to West Leb if they went a be disappointed. I think West Leb tops most if not all shows I go to so I still go for support and for the "love of the game!" It would be nice if everyone compared apples to apples because this will probably be a good show!


I've also heard ZERO advertising (aside from this forum) for this show! It's too bad because we're finally getting some nice shows in this area besides West Leb and it would be nice if several promoters would make the Capital Region a regular stop!

I was speaking about fans not on ths board. I am probly most people here would know what type of a show to expect. But the fact is anyone who talks to me about monster trucks always has that comment to say. I also understand why it costs more, just giving the average fans perspective.

Terrible

[MichelleLeah]

So there is only going to be 5 Monster Trucks there and the rest of it is just side shows?

[destructiondigger]

[ProTruckChallenge]

[MCMsports]

What trucks are gonna be at middle town ?

[Jjd92186]

theres a pit party on saturday night 5 :30 too bad its the same day as the night of destruction at the orange county speedway in middletown :(

I am going to the Night of Destruction at Orange County Speedway as well. I am planning on buying my tickets on Monday. It sounds like a lot of fun. When I went to the Eve of Destruction at Lebanon Valley Speedway earlier this year it was awesome and I am hoping for more of the same at Orange county Speedway.


For the above question there will be no monster trucks, but it should be a great time.

[MCMsports]

Well i thin im gonna go see Bf #15, do the whole pit party thing never seen Bf #15 so mite as well

[Jjd92186]

Have fun! Take some pictures for us!
