Feld Motor
Sports announced today that due to the improvements that the Los
Angeles Dodgers intend to make to Dodger Stadium during the offseason, the
Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, race that was
originally scheduled to be held at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on January 19,
2013, has been moved to Angel Stadium of Anaheim, in Anaheim, California. In
addition, the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam event, which was
scheduled for February 16,, 2013 at Dodger Stadium, has been cancelled.
“Our
expectation is to be underway with enhancements to Dodger Stadium in
preparation for the 2013 baseball season during the time these events are
scheduled,” said Bob Wolfe, Executive Vice President of the Dodgers. “In order
to avoid any possible impact on the January 19 Monster Energy Supercross race
and the February 16 Monster Jam event, we, along with Feld Motor
Sports, came to the decision that it would be best to have the event moved to
another location on January 19.”
“We
are working diligently to make the change from Dodger Stadium to Angel Stadium
for the Jan 19 Monster Energy Supercross race seamless for the
teams, sponsors, and most importantly the fans,” said Ken Hudgens, Chief Operating
Office, Feld Motor Sports. “The collective effort between the Monster Energy
Supercross staff, Dodger Stadium staff, and Angel Stadium staff to make this
venue change has been very positive.”
Refunds
to the two Dodger Stadium motorsports events can be obtained at the point of
purchase. Tickets for the January 19 Monster Energy Supercross race at Angel
Stadium of Anaheim will go on-sale Friday, December 7 at 10am PST.
