Kit Palmer | May 6, 2016

Feld Entertainment announced today the 2017 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, schedule which includes a long-awaited return to Minneapolis on February 18, making its debut at U.S. Bank Stadium. The 17-race championship also includes return visits to Seattle’s CenturyLink Field on April 8 and Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium on April 22. Tickets for the 2017 Monster Energy Supercross Season will go on sale Friday, October 21, 2016.

“We eagerly anticipate the return to key markets like Minneapolis, Seattle and Salt Lake City that have such a strong legacy in Monster Energy Supercross, continuing the growth of the sport to more major markets where we can deliver a world-class fan experience live at the race, or via our broadcasts on FOX Sports,” said Todd Jendro, Vice President, Tour Operations/Motor Sports, Feld Entertainment. “We also want to congratulate Ryan Dungey on his remarkable championship victory as we prepare for the season-ending celebration this weekend in Las Vegas.”

“I’m really looking forward to chasing my fourth 450SX Class title in 2017 and what could be three straight championships with Team Red Bull KTM. It’s been a dream to achieve so much success together the last two seasons and I’m ready for the challenge of another title run,” said 2016 Monster Energy Supercross 450SX Class Champion Ryan Dungey. “It’s amazing to see Minneapolis back on the schedule. It’s my hometown race and I have a lot of great memories there racing in front of the hometown crowd, including a win the last time we raced there in 2013. It’s been cool to watch the progression of U.S. Bank Stadium and I can’t wait to bring supercross into that state-of-the-art facility. It’ll be memorable, for sure.”

The Minneapolis, Seattle and Salt Lake City rounds replace Santa Clara and the short-lived Foxborough events, as well as the second San Diego round.

The entire 2017 Monster Energy Supercross Championship will air live on FOX Sports family of networks, including an expanding footprint on FOX Broadcast Channel. In addition, the authenticated FOX Sports Go app will live stream each race.
