Monster Energy Supercross Returns to Mercedes-Benz!

Feld Entertainment, Inc. has announced that Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, will return to Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, February 29, bringing action-packed, two-wheeled excitement back to Atlanta.  Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, October 25. Monster Energy Supercross features the world's most elite athletes chasing their dreams onto U.S. soil inside America's most well-known stadiums. Three first-time champions, Cooper Webb (450SX Class), Dylan Ferrandis (Western Regional 250SX Class), and Chase Sexton (Eastern Regional 250SX Class) will be eager to defend their titles. Last season fans witnessed the closest finish in the sports forty-six-year history between Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen and Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Cooper Webb. Anything can happen once the gate drops and 2020 promises to be an exceptional season as the deep field of Jason Anderson, Marvin Musquin, Eli Tomac, Chad Reed, Justin Barcia, Justin Brayton,   and incoming premiere class rookie, Adam Cianciarulo continue to make their mark on the sport’s history.    You can check out the Supercross 2020 Season trailer video here. The Western Regional 250SX Class Championship will be contested at the following rounds - Anaheim, CA on January 4; St. Louis, MO on January 11; Anaheim, CA on January 18; Glendale, AZ on January 25; Oakland, CA on February 1; San Diego, CA on February 8; Seattle, WA on March 28; and Las Vegas, NV on April 25.  The Eastern Regional 250SX Class Championship will be contested at the following rounds – Tampa, FL on February 15; Arlington, TX on February 22; Atlanta, GA on February 29; Daytona Beach, FL on March 7; Indianapolis, IN on March 14; Detroit, MI on March 21; and Foxborough, MA on April 18. The East/West Showdown races will be held at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, CO on April 4 and Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT on May 2. East/West Showdown races became synonymous with the Las Vegas finale and were the only time in the season where both the Eastern Regional 250SX Class and Western Regional 250SX Class athletes raced together in what was originally combined non-points paying events. This changed in 2016 when the series changed the format to points-paying races as the only Main Event in the 250SX Class. 2020 will mark the first time in the sports history that the East/West Showdown races will take place in two new cities, in-an-effort to expose the younger 250SX Class athletes to new audiences. While athletes begin to qualify inside the stadium, Supercross FanFest will kick off outside the stadium in the paddock where the expansive 14-acre footprint will feature experiential activities for all ages - athlete autograph signings, enhanced Monster Energy demos and musical acts (select markets), lounging areas, charging stations, Kawasaki’s Z World (select markets), Monster Energy Supercross, the Official Video Game 3 Experience, Supercross Virtual Reality Experience, photo opportunity set ups, food and beverages, plus authentic Supercross and racer merchandise.  Fans can experience all of this while also enjoying in-and-out access to the stadium and track to watch practice and qualifying rounds.  WHEN:            Saturday, February 29, 2020 Gates Open / Practice & Qualifying starts at 10 a.m. FanFest hours: 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Racing starts at 4:30 p.m. WHERE:          Mercedes-Benz Stadium 1 AMB Drive NW Atlanta, GA 30313 TICKETS:        Ticket prices start as low as $20!
