2015 Monster Energy Supercross Schedule Announced
The 2015 Season to go On-sale Exclusively to Cross Club Members May 5
AURORA, Ill.
(May 2, 2014) – Feld Motor Sports® announced today the
17-race schedule for the 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM
World Championship, season. The world’s premier off-road motorcycle
racing championship will once again visit the most
prestigious stadiums across the U.S., including a pair of new stops. In
total, the world’s best riders will visit 10 different states and 14
different venues in 2015.
Monster
Energy Supercross will make its debut at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara,
Calif., home of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers, and Petco
Park in San Diego, Calif., home to Major League Baseball’s San Diego
Padres. Levi’s Stadium will serve as the 15th race of the
season, on April 18, resulting in two visits to California’s Bay Area
with the annual race from Oakland’s O.co Coliseum,
on January 24. In addition, the championship will have two stops at
Atlanta’s Georgia Dome. The Atlanta race has been home to the largest
capacity crowds each of the last few years and will host races on
February 21 and February 28. The Georgia Dome joins
Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., as the only two venues with multiple
races.
“As
Monster Energy Supercross continues to grow and expand its fan base, so
does the championship schedule,” said Charlie Mancuso, president of
Feld
Motor Sports. “We are proud to welcome two new state-of-the-art venues
to the schedule with Levi’s Stadium (Santa Clara) and Petco Park (San
Diego) next season and we are excited to bring an additional race to the
southeast with back-to-back Atlanta races.”
As
it has for over two decades, Anaheim will once again kick off the 2015
Monster Energy Supercross season on January 3 for the first of three
races
inside Angel Stadium over the first five weekends of competition
(January 17 and January 31). Widely considered to be the “home” of
Monster Energy Supercross, Anaheim will host its 64th, 65th, and 66th races in 2015 to maintain
its legacy as the most visited Monster Energy Supercross city of all time.
The
2015 season will also feature the championship’s second consecutive
visit to the New York area with a return to MetLife Stadium in East
Rutherford,
N.J. After an incredibly successful debut at the venue last week in
which Ryan Villopoto made history by becoming just the second rider in
history to win four consecutive titles, the world’s premier media market
will once again host the penultimate stop of
the championship on April 25.
Also
making its return for a second straight year is Detroit’s Ford Field,
which welcomed Monster Energy Supercross back to the Motor City in 2014
with the signature lane built into the seats. The one-of-a-kind venue
will play host to the championship again next season, on March 21, as
the 12th stop on the schedule.
“With
new stadiums and another year of a premier television package on FOX
Sports 1, the 2015 Monster Energy Supercross season is going to be
bigger
and better than ever before,” said Todd Jendro, Feld Motor Sports, Vice
President of Two Wheel Operations. “We are in the midst of the most
competitive and compelling era in the history of the sport and the 2015
schedule will provide even more emerging story
lines. With Ryan Villopoto gunning for a record fifth straight title,
and the likes of James Stewart, Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey, Ken Roczen and
more all looking to bring his reign to an end, we’re in for an
incredible 2015 season with some great new venues to
showcase the sport.”
"The
2015 Monster Energy Supercross season is going to be very exciting,"
said Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto. "We have a couple of new
stadiums on the schedule and after how successful the event was at
MetLife Stadium, I'm really looking forward to going back there and I
know we will have a great time at the brand new stadium in Santa Clara.
Also going to Petco Park in downtown San Diego
will give Feld a chance to get a little more creative with the track
design in the baseball stadium."
