NEW ORLEANS – Feld Entertainment® announced tickets for AMSOIL Arenacross, the most intense motocross racing on the planet, are now on sale. AMSOIL Arenacross will be at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on Saturday, March 11, 2017, with racing starting at 7:00 p.m.
AMSOIL Arenacross is one of the most extreme racing environments in the world with unparalleled levels of competition and a fully engaging environment for fans, event organizers said. These fearless and highly talented athletes will compete on man-made dirt battlegrounds built inside the country’s most well-known arenas for 19 nights of high-speed, high flying fierce racing competition. Ticket prices start at $15 and are available at Ticketmaster and the Smoothie King Center Box Office.
The 2017 AMSOIL Arenacross season will consist of a 14-round battle for the coveted Ricky Carmichael Cup. The championship will travel across 13 different states including new stops at Portland, Oregon’s Moda Center on March 18, and Sacramento California’s Golden 1 Center on April 1.
The 2016 season showcased a battle for the title between a trio of teammates that went down to the final lap of the last Main Event in Las Vegas. In the end, AMSOIL Arenacross welcomed Gavin Faith as the 2016 champion and the first recipient of the Ricky Carmichael Cup. As he seeks to defend his title, Faith will have an exceptional challenge ahead of him as he chases back-to-back championships against elite contenders like Chris Blose, Jacob Hayes, Travis Sewell, and more riders set to topple Faith.
