The following guide will also break down everything you need to know about Stadium events and how they work, as well as all rewards, and several tips and tricks that will help you complete these events, edging you ever closer to that elusive 100% completion rating! This guide includes an update for the GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition release for Xbox, PC, and PS5.
What Are Stadium Events and How Do They Work
There are three stadia in the game--one in each of the cities, with a fourth arena event in Las Venturas available only on Mondays and Wednesdays. These stadium events are marked by silver trophy cup icons on the map. Go to the front of the stadium and step on the red marker there to be taken inside.
How to Complete All Stadium Events
With four events on offer at each stadium, here's a detailed breakdown of what you can expect from all four events, as well as the rewards on offer.

- 8-Track
- Blood Bowl
- Kickstart
- Dirt Track (Only available Mondays and Wednesdays)
8 Track - Los Santos Stadium Mission
Go to the stadium near your house in Los Santos to do this challenge. This is essentially a NASCAR style race where you must beat 11 other cars in a six lap race. You want to avoid scraping walls and other cars, because you only have one car to work with here. If it catches fire and explodes, you're out, so avoid contact as much as possible.
If you want to be devious, you can shoot at the other vehicles to damage them heavily and drop them out of the race.
8-Track Event Rewards: By finishing first, you'll gain $10,000 and make a Monster spawn in front of the stadium.
Blood Ring - San Fierro Stadium Mission
Go to the San Fierro stadium and step on the red marker to be taken inside and immediately thrust into this competition. The event is essentially a demolition derby with automatic weapons. The goal is to outlast all of your competitors. Stay alive and accrue as much time as possible in the Blood Bowl. You ultimately need to put together a full minute of time in the Blood Bowl, which is easier said than done.
To extend your time, drive through the vertical red lights around the arena. Your competitors will also be going for them, so when you see one appear, get there quickly! Don't worry too much about damaging your foes. Instead, focus on extending your time. If you need to heal, quickly grab one of the blue wrenches scattered around.
Blood Bowl Event Rewards: Reach a minute and you'll be rewarded with $10,000 and a Bloodring Banger will spawn in the parking lot in front of the stadium.
Kickstart - Las Venturas Stadium Mission
Go to the Dirtring stadium in Las Venturas on any day but Monday or Wednesday to trigger this challenge. The idea here is to pilot the Sanchez motorbike through a series of coronas--this is very similar to a challenge from Vice City.
You have four minutes to get as many points as possible. Green coronas are worth 1 point, amber are worth 2, and red are worth 3. You have to get to 26 in order to pass the challenge. Doing that will require you to do some of the more difficult runs in the game, going across narrow planks and up treacherous loops to get the prize.
Kickstart Event Rewards: Upon setting the record, a Dune will spawn outside the stadium on the days this event takes place.
Dirtring Track - Las Venturas Stadium Mission
This event, as previously mentioned, is ONLY available on Mondays and Wednesdays, at the same Dirtring track as the Kickstart event takes place. This is a six-lap race against 11 other bikers, and you have to finish at the front of the pack in order to win.
Aside from controlling the bike well (you may want to go to Bike School to make it easier), you'll want to avoid your fellow racers as much as possible... especially the scrums that occur when there is a multiple-person wreck. Take it steady. This is a long, long race and you have plenty of time to separate yourself from the rest of the pack.
Dirt Track Event Rewards: Winning the race will get you $25,000 and will spawn a BF Injection in front of the stadium on the days of the race.
