7,500 Tons Of Dirt Dumped Into Gillette Stadium For Monster Jam
FOXBORO (CBS) -- Things are getting dirty on the New England Patriots' home field – literally.
About 250 truckloads, or 7,500 tons, of dirt was being dumped inside Gillette Stadium on Wednesday as preparations begin for Saturday's Monster Jam "Path of Destruction."
Turning the stadium into a Monster Jam track requires 30 dump trucks, 100,000 square feet of plastic and 6,000 sheets of plywood to cover the field, according to organizers.
The event will feature 25 crush cars and four crush vans, and kicks off at 7 p.m. on Saturday. It's the second year Gillette has hosted Monster Jam, and a crowd of 35,000 is expected.
