Coors Field (Home of the Colorado Rockies)
For baseball fans and youth teams traveling south from Westminster to Downtown Denver's LoDo neighborhood, Coors Field at 2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205 offers an unforgettable ballpark experience. Renting a private bus lets your whole group skip the headache of circling Lower Downtown for parking before first pitch!
Major Roadways to Coors Field
Most charter buses traveling from Westminster take US-36 East (Denver-Boulder Turnpike) to I-25 South, exiting at Exit 213 (Park Avenue West) to approach the ballpark district. If I-25 is backed up near the Mousetrap interchange with I-70, your driver can also use Federal Boulevard or Washington Street as alternate surface routes into downtown. Once in LoDo, buses navigate along Park Avenue West, 20th Street, and Wazee Street to reach the northern gates. Plan to depart Westminster at least 90 minutes before first pitch to stay ahead of weekday rush hour and game-day congestion.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Coors Field
Charter buses can drop off and pick up passengers along the designated commercial loading zones on 22nd Street between Blake Street and Market Street, or near Gate A along Park Avenue West. Because Denver enforces a strict 5-minute commercial engine idling limit, your group should step off together as soon as the bus pulls up to the curb. After the final out, gather your entire group at your agreed gate before calling your driver in for pickup.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Coors Field
Dedicated oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is available in Lot B and Lot C on the northeast side of the ballpark, accessed via Park Avenue West and Wazee Street. Bus parking permits should be purchased in advance through the Colorado Rockies parking and transportation office, as game-day spaces fill up quickly during summer series and fireworks nights. If you only need a drop-off and pickup, your driver can stage off-site outside the downtown core and return to 22nd Street when your group is ready. Remember that venue parking fees are separate from your bus quote, so let our confirmation department know if you plan to tailgate in the bus lots!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Roughly two hours before first pitch, the Denver Police Department closes portions of Blake Street (between 19th and 22nd Streets) and 20th Street around the main home-plate entrances to protect heavy pedestrian traffic. Post-game traffic clears out slowly along Park Avenue West and the I-25 on-ramps, especially after Friday night fireworks or sold-out weekend games. Setting a meetup spot a block away near 22nd and Market Street or 27th and Blake Street in RiNo can help your bus exit toward I-25 North much faster. Always Pad your schedule with 30 to 45 minutes of extra buffer time when overlap occurs with downtown conventions or concerts.
Ball Arena (Home of the Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Avalanche)
View instant online quotes in under 30 seconds for a party bus or charter bus to Ball Arena at 1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204! Whether you're cheering on the Nuggets, the Avalanche, or the Colorado Mammoth, your group arrives together without splitting into surge-priced rideshares.
Major Roadways to Ball Arena
Groups departing Westminster typically hop on US-36 East to I-25 South and take Exit 210B (Auraria Parkway) or Exit 212B (Speer Boulevard South) straight toward the arena. Speer Boulevard, Auraria Parkway, and Chopper Circle frame the venue and provide direct access to the surrounding parking lots. During weeknight tip-offs or puck drops at 7:00 p.m., heavy commuter traffic on I-25 South between 104th Avenue and Downtown Denver makes leaving early a must.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Ball Arena
Charter buses and minibuses can unload passengers along Chopper Circle near the main Grand Atrium entrance or along the outer curb of Auraria Parkway on the south side of the arena. Curbside waiting and unattended parking are strictly prohibited along Chopper Circle and Speer Boulevard. To make your post-game exit seamless, have your group meet outside the Grand Atrium Plaza or near the Ball Arena Team Store before texting your driver. Once everyone is accounted for, your bus will pull up for a quick curbside boarding.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Ball Arena
Oversized vehicles, full-size motorcoaches, and limo buses can park on-site in the Toyota Camry Lot or the Rav4/ Tundra Oversized Lots accessed off Auraria Parkway and 9th Street. Review the Ball Arena parking and directions guide ahead of your game to pre-purchase an oversized vehicle pass, or have your driver stage off-site and return after the final buzzer.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Expect temporary lane restrictions on Chopper Circle and heavy pedestrian crossings along Speer Boulevard and Auraria Parkway for 60 minutes before and after every game or concert. If an afternoon Broncos game at nearby Empower Field or a convention at the Colorado Convention Center overlaps with your event, build an extra 45 minutes into your Westminster departure time.
Empower Field at Mile High (Home of the Denver Broncos)
Keep your whole tailgating group together on Broncos Sundays with a private shuttle to Empower Field at Mile High, located at 1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204! Instead of designating multiple drivers or hiking a mile from distant surface lots, your group rides down from Westminster in climate-controlled comfort with plenty of room for coolers and game-day gear. You can compare 15- to 50-passenger party buses and 56-passenger charter buses with under-floor storage bays in one quick search!
Major Roadways to Empower Field at Mile High
From Westminster, the most direct route is US-36 East to I-25 South, exiting at Exit 210B (17th Avenue / Colfax Avenue) or Exit 211 (23rd Avenue) on the west side of the river. Federal Boulevard (US-287) is another popular north-south artery leading straight from the Westminster and Northglenn area to the stadium's western lots without touching I-25. Local connectors including Colfax Avenue (US-40), Bryant Street, and Mile High Stadium Circle ring the stadium complex. Because stadium lots open four to five hours before kickoff, arriving early is the best way to beat the wall-to-wall traffic on I-25 and Federal Boulevard.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Empower Field at Mile High
For groups doing a drop-off and pickup rather than parking on-site, charter buses typically use the designated commercial loading area along Mile High Stadium West Circle near Gate 2, or drop passengers along Bryant Street north of 17th Avenue. Buses are not permitted to enter the rideshare-only zones in Lot A or idle along Federal Boulevard. After the fourth quarter, gather your group near the Broncos Mane Line statue on the south side or outside Gate 2 before calling your driver in.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Empower Field at Mile High
On-site charter bus, RV, and tailgating parking is located in Lot M and Lot J on the north side of the stadium off 20th Avenue and Bryant Street. Spaces in Lot M require a pre-purchased oversized vehicle permit through the Empower Field parking office and sell out well in advance for NFL games and summer stadium concerts.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On game days, Mile High Stadium Circle is restricted to permit holders, and Denver police close select turns off Federal Boulevard, 17th Avenue, and Colfax Avenue before kickoff and during the post-game exodus. Plan to arrive at least two to three hours prior to kickoff so your bus can clear security checkpoints and get your group settled without rushing.
Dick's Sporting Goods Park (Home of the Colorado Rapids)
Make your next soccer match or tournament outing effortless with a charter bus or 25-passenger minibus rental to Dick's Sporting Goods Park at 6000 Victory Way, Commerce City, CO 80022! In addition to hosting MLS matches for the Colorado Rapids, this massive complex features 24 surrounding grass and turf fields that draw youth soccer clubs and regional tournaments from across Colorado. Because public transit doesn't run directly to the stadium gates, a private bus is the easiest way to move players, families, and fans from Westminster together. Plus, your team can store tent canopies, coolers, and gear bags right onboard!
Major Roadways to Dick's Sporting Goods Park
Traveling east from Westminster, your driver will take I-270 East or I-70 East to Quebec Street (CO-35) North, then connect to E. 60th Avenue or Prairie Parkway into the complex. Groups coming from northern Westminster can also take I-25 South to I-76 East and exit at 88th Avenue or E. 64th Avenue to approach from the north.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Dick's Sporting Goods Park
Charter buses drop off and pick up passengers along Victory Way on the west side of the stadium near Gate B and the Eighteen76 fan zone, or directly adjacent to the assigned tournament fields for youth athletics. Have your group assemble near the main box office at Gate C after the match so everyone boards together without holding up the loop.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Dick's Sporting Goods Park
The complex offers expansive surface parking, and oversized vehicles and team buses are typically directed to the gravel and paved lots on the north and east sides, such as Lot B, Lot G, or Lot H. Check the Dick's Sporting Goods Park parking map before your event to confirm whether your tournament or concert charges an oversized vehicle fee.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
During sold-out Rapids matches, Fourth of July fireworks, and Phish Labor Day weekend concerts, E. 60th Avenue, Quebec Street, and Prairie Parkway switch to event-control traffic patterns with police directing inbound and outbound lanes. Arriving 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff helps your bus bypass the bottleneck at the Quebec Street and 60th Avenue intersection.
Centennial Stadium (Home of Denver Summit FC)
From cheering on Denver Summit FC in temporary NWSL home action to supporting local high school football and track championships, booking a bus makes game day a breeze! Groups heading to Centennial Stadium in Centennial on the south side of the metro can skip the long drive in separate cars. Share your itinerary once and let a driver handle the I-25 corridor for you!
Major Roadways to Centennial Stadium
To reach the southern metro stadium district in Centennial from Westminster, charter buses take US-36 East to I-25 South through Denver, exiting onto E. Arapahoe Road (CO-88) or E. Dry Creek Road. If central I-25 is gridlocked, your driver can route around the west side via I-70 West to C-470 East, or take I-225 South on the east side.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Centennial Stadium
Buses unload and reload fan groups and visiting rosters along the designated stadium perimeter loop and south entrance turnaround zones, keeping passengers clear of main commuter lanes. Coordinate with your driver to meet outside the main West Gate ticket plaza after the final whistle so your entire group can step straight onto the bus.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Centennial Stadium
Oversized bus parking is accommodated in the designated outer perimeter surface lots reserved for visiting team buses and fan charters. Because suburban stadium lots share space with tailgaters and general admission vehicles on match days, let the confirmation team know your arrival time so your driver can secure a bus stall early. If perimeter lots reach capacity during major soccer matches, buses can stage at nearby commercial lots off Arapahoe Road and return in five minutes for pickup.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Match days bring heavy volume along the I-25 Tech Center corridor, Arapahoe Road, and local stadium access drives, especially when weekday rush hour (4:00–6:30 p.m.) overlaps with pre-game arrivals. Local traffic officers convert stadium entry drives into one-way inbound lanes prior to kickoff and outbound-only lanes after the match ends. Building a 45-minute cushion into your Westminster departure ensures your players or fans arrive relaxed and in their seats well before kickoff.
