The Monster Energy AMA Supercross is returning to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough for round 12 of the 17-race Supercross series. The race will take place on Saturday, April 5, at 6:30 p.m. Doors will open at noon.
The Monster Energy AMA Supercross is an indoor dirt bike racing championship, a contemporary version of motocross.
According to a statement on the Supercross website, "Whereas motocross takes place on long courses built primarily on the dirt and terrain offered up by nature, Supercross races are made from dirt hauled into stadiums. The track takes all the exciting obstacles of outdoor riding — jumps, turns, and bumps — amplifies them, and puts them in easy view of spectators."
A WickedLocal.com report stated that 26 million pounds of dirt, approximately 500 truckloads, will be dumped onto Gillette Stadium's floor to construct the track for the event.
