Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff at Sports Venues in Phoenix, Arizona

Mortgage Matchup Center (Home of the Phoenix Mercury and the Phoenix Suns)

If you’re taking a fan group or youth basketball team to Downtown Phoenix to cheer on the Phoenix Suns or Phoenix Mercury at Mortgage Matchup Center, a private bus rental keeps your whole roster together. Navigating downtown one-way grids and packed garages is a breeze when a driver handles the drop-off. You can compare 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, and 56-passenger charter buses in one quick search!

Major Roadways to Mortgage Matchup Center

Most charter buses approach Downtown Phoenix via I-10 (the Papago Freeway) by exiting at 7th Street or Washington/Jefferson Streets, or via I-17 (the Maricopa Freeway) from the south using the 7th Avenue or Jefferson Street exits. From the East Valley and Sky Harbor Airport, Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) feeds directly into the downtown grid. Local surface access runs primarily along Jefferson Street (eastbound), Washington Street (westbound), 1st Street, and 3rd Street.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Mortgage Matchup Center

Charter buses cannot enter the attached Arena Garage due to strict low-clearance height limits, so all group unloading happens curbside. The primary passenger loading and unloading zone is located along Jackson Street on the south side of the arena (between 1st Street and 3rd Street) or along designated commercial white zones on 3rd Street. Because Phoenix enforces a strict 5-minute commercial anti-idling ordinance and Valley Metro Light Rail trains run directly along Jefferson Street and Washington Street, drivers may only stop for active boarding. Make sure your entire group is gathered outside the Main Pavilion Entrance before texting your driver to pull up to the curb.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Mortgage Matchup Center

There is no dedicated on-site charter bus parking lot attached directly to Mortgage Matchup Center, so your driver will stage off-site during the game or concert. Oversized surface parking is typically available in nearby downtown surface lots south of Jackson Street and along Buchanan Street or Lincoln Street between 3rd Street and 7th Street. When overlapping events occur at nearby Chase Field, downtown surface stalls fill up fast and must be arranged in advance. After you reserve your bus online through the national booking platform, our confirmation department will reach out to verify your exact post-game pickup spot.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Expect heavy congestion starting 90 minutes before tip-off, especially when weekday Suns games overlap with downtown commuter rush hour between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Phoenix Police frequently close 1st Street and 2nd Street between Jefferson Street and Jackson Street to vehicle traffic to create pedestrian plazas before and after events. Build at least 30 to 45 minutes of extra buffer time into your itinerary so your group can walk through security and grab concessions before tip-off.

Whether you’re bringing a Little League roster in a 25-passenger minibus or a corporate group in a 56-passenger charter bus with ice-cold A/C to beat the triple-digit summer heat, we make group travel simple.

Major Roadways to Chase Field

Chase Field sits in the southeast corner of Downtown Phoenix just north of I-17 and south of I-10. Drivers coming from the West Valley or Tucson typically use I-10 to the 7th Street exit and head south toward the ballpark. Groups traveling from Scottsdale, Tempe, or Mesa can take Loop 202 West to the Sky Harbor Blvd / 24th Street or 7th Street exits. Once downtown, 7th Street, 4th Street, Jefferson Street, and Jackson Street serve as the main arteries framing the stadium footprint.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Chase Field

Designated charter bus loading and unloading takes place on the east side of the ballpark along 7th Street (between Jefferson Street and Jackson Street) or along Jackson Street near the Right Field Gate. Have your group meet near the Rotunda Entrance at 4th Street and Jackson Street after the final out before calling your driver in from staging.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Chase Field

Oversized motorcoaches cannot fit inside the Chase Field Garage or the Right Field Garage due to vertical height clearances. Instead, pre-arranged charter bus and RV parking is located in designated surface lots east of 7th Street (between Washington Street and Grant Street) and in surface lots south of the Union Pacific railroad tracks along Lincoln Street. Contact the Arizona Diamondbacks group ticket and parking office ahead of game day to reserve an oversized stall for your vehicle.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Before and after D-backs home games and major stadium concerts, Phoenix Police restrict through-traffic on 4th Street and Jackson Street immediately adjacent to the ballpark gates. If a game coincides with an event two blocks west at Mortgage Matchup Center, traffic along Jefferson Street and 7th Street backs up heavily. Plan to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before first pitch for a smooth curbside drop-off.

State Farm Stadium (Home of the Arizona Cardinals)

Fill out our 30-second online quote tool to lock in game-day transportation to State Farm Stadium in nearby Glendale! Home to the Arizona Cardinals, the annual Fiesta Bowl, and massive stadium concert tours, this Westgate Sports and Entertainment District venue draws over 63,000 fans on event days. Booking a party bus or charter bus keeps your whole tailgating group together in one vehicle with plenty of undercarriage storage for dry coolers, folding chairs, and team gear.

Major Roadways to State Farm Stadium

State Farm Stadium sits directly along the Loop 101 (Agua Fria Freeway) corridor in the West Valley, just two miles north of I-10 (Papago Freeway). Charter buses typically exit Loop 101 at Maryland Avenue, Bethany Home Road, or Cardinals Way, or use surface streets like 91st Avenue and 99th Avenue as directed by your pre-paid parking pass.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at State Farm Stadium

Groups that are only being dropped off and picked up (without tailgating on site) use the designated commercial transit and bus loop at the 95th Avenue South Transit Center, located south of Maryland Avenue on the east side of the stadium. Stopping or unloading passengers along 91st Avenue, 95th Avenue, or Maryland Avenue outside of designated zones is strictly prohibited by Glendale Police. After the final whistle, gather your entire group at the 95th Avenue South Transit Center before signaling your driver to pull in.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at State Farm Stadium

If your group wants to keep the bus on site and tailgate before kickoff, oversized charter bus and RV parking is available in the East Preferred / Bus Lot or designated sections of the Green Lot and Orange Lot, depending on the event. You must purchase an official oversized vehicle parking pass in advance through SeatGeek or the Arizona Cardinals ticket office, as day-of cash bus parking is rarely available.Parking lots typically open four hours prior to kickoff, giving your group plenty of time to set up right beside the coach.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Traffic on Loop 101 and the I-10 / Loop 101 interchange slows to a crawl starting two hours before kickoff, especially when an event is also taking place next door at Desert Diamond Arena in the Westgate Entertainment District. Glendale Police implement reversible lanes and color-coded routing along 91st Avenue, 95th Avenue, 99th Avenue, and Cardinals Way, so your driver must follow the exact entry route printed on your bus parking hangtag. Pad your departure schedule by at least 60 to 90 minutes to beat the freeway bottlenecks.

Mountain America Stadium (Home of the Arizona State Sun Devils)

Find the right charter bus, minibus, or party bus for college football Saturdays at Mountain America Stadium! Whether you’re organizing athletic team travel or an alumni tailgate in Tempe, our network has vehicles for every headcount. Compare options online in under 30 seconds with no account needed!

Major Roadways to Mountain America Stadium

Located on the north edge of the Arizona State University (ASU) campus right along Tempe Town Lake, the stadium is easily reached via Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway) using the Scottsdale Road / Rural Road or Priest Drive exits, as well as from US-60 (Superstition Freeway) and I-10 via University Drive. Local campus access runs along Veterans Way, Rio Salado Parkway, Packard Drive, and Rural Road.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Mountain America Stadium

Charter buses can drop off and pick up groups along designated zones on Veterans Way near Desert Financial Arena or along Rio Salado Parkway north of the stadium, depending on game-day police perimeters. Because the Tempe Streetcar and heavy student foot traffic share the surrounding corridors, drivers may only stop briefly for active unloading.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Mountain America Stadium

Oversized charter bus parking on the ASU campus is located in the surface sections of Lot 59 (north of Rio Salado Parkway and east of Packard Drive) and must be arranged in advance through ASU Parking and Transit Services or Sun Devil Athletics. Standard campus parking structures like the Packard Drive South Structure have vertical clearance limits that cannot accommodate full-size motorcoaches. If Lot 59 is sold out, your driver can stage off-campus at commercial surface lots in Tempe and return to your agreed pickup spot after the fourth quarter.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On Sun Devil football game days, Tempe Police close Veterans Way between University Drive and Rio Salado Parkway, along with portions of 6th Street and College Avenue, starting several hours before kickoff. Mill Avenue and the surrounding downtown Tempe district also experience heavy pedestrian closures for pre-game block parties. If your group is coming from Phoenix or the West Valley, expect slowdowns along I-10 East through the Broadway Curve and on Loop 202 East approaching Scottsdale Road. Plan to arrive on campus at least two hours before kickoff so your group can unload smoothly ahead of the street closures.

Montgomery Stadium

Whatever brings your school athletic department, marching band, or fan club to historic Montgomery Stadium on the Phoenix Union High School campus, we make booking school and youth sports transportation effortless. Instead of calling five local bus companies and waiting around for callbacks, fill out one quick form to compare buses and rates side by side in under 30 seconds. You can book a single 18-passenger minibus for a coaching staff or an entire fleet of 56-passenger charter buses with undercarriage storage bays for band instruments and football pads. Best of all, there’s no account needed and no obligation to book!

Major Roadways to Montgomery Stadium

Montgomery Stadium sits in Central/Downtown Phoenix just south of the I-10 (Papago Freeway) tunnel and east of 7th Street. Buses can exit I-10 directly at 7th Street and head south for less than a mile, or approach from the south via I-17 and Jefferson Street / Van Buren Street using 7th Street, 5th Street, and Polk Street.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Montgomery Stadium

Because Montgomery Stadium is part of an urban school and biomedical campus footprint surrounded by historic buildings, curb space is tighter than at major pro stadiums. Charter buses typically load and unload student-athletes, marching bands, and spectators along 7th Street (between Van Buren Street and Garfield Street) or along Polk Street and Taylor Street near the stadium gates. Have a coach or group leader coordinate with campus event security upon arrival to confirm the exact gate entrance for your team. Remind passengers to keep all equipment bags together on the sidewalk so unloading takes less than five minutes.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Montgomery Stadium

On-site surface parking around 450 N. 7th Street is limited and primarily shared with Phoenix Union High School District facilities and nearby Phoenix Bioscience Core garages, which have strict height limits for passenger cars. Visiting team buses and activity motorcoaches are typically directed by school district event staff to designated surface lot staging along 7th Street, 9th Street, or Polk Street. If on-site school surface stalls are full during large district tournaments or multi-school track meets, your driver can stage at nearby commercial surface lots south of Van Buren Street and pull back up to the gate as soon as the event wraps up. Our confirmation department will review your itinerary after you book online so your driver knows your exact staging and pickup plan.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Because 7th Street is one of Phoenix’s main north-south commuter corridors and features reversible center lanes during weekday morning (6:00–9:00 a.m.) and afternoon (4:00–6:00 p.m.) rush hours, charter buses must stay in the outer curb lanes and watch for heavy traffic backing up toward I-10 and Van Buren Street. When afternoon high school kickoffs or band competitions overlap with downtown events at nearby Chase Field or the Phoenix Convention Center, allow an extra 30 minutes of travel time. Setting a clear post-game meeting spot along Polk Street or 5th Street away from the main 7th Street rush helps your team board quickly and get on the road home.

Quick Tips for Phoenix, Arizona Game-Day Charter Bus Groups

With one form on our website, you can compare vehicles for any sporting event in Phoenix, the cities around it, and all of Arizona—including Spring Training Cactus League ballparks like Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, Sloan Park, Camelback Ranch, and Peoria Sports Complex! Keep three golden rules in mind for Arizona game days: always pre-purchase oversized bus parking passes before event day, never ask your driver to idle at the curb for more than 5 minutes (per Maricopa County and City of Phoenix anti-idling laws), and beat the desert heat by booking a climate-controlled bus where your group can cool off with cold bottled water stored onboard. Once you reserve your vehicle online through the national booking platform, a dedicated confirmation team will verify every stop, stadium gate, and pickup time on your schedule so game day runs without a hitch!
