A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Catch the Action at Aurora Sports Park

As the premier destination for competitive youth and amateur sports in the region, the Aurora Sports Park is a massive 220-acre complex that hosts everything from state soccer championships to national softball tournaments. With 23 soccer fields and 12 baseball/softball fields, this venue draws thousands of athletes and spectators every weekend. Navigating the internal park roads during a major tournament like the Colorado Showcase can be a logistical headache for teams arriving in separate cars.

Planning a tournament trip for your club? Make it one they won’t soon forget and keep the whole team focused by booking a private motorcoach. Our 56-passenger buses offer undercarriage storage for goals, nets, coolers, and equipment bags, keeping the aisles clear and safe. Your team can relax in climate-controlled cabins, avoiding the high-altitude sun between games. For visiting teams, we provide seamless transfers from Denver International Airport (DEN), located just 15 minutes away via E-470, ensuring your players arrive at the pitch refreshed and ready for kickoff.

Address: 19300 E Colfax Ave, Aurora, CO 80011

Charter Bus Parking: The park offers designated oversized vehicle parking in the paved lots near the north and south field clusters. Your drivers typically utilize the North Sports Park entrance off Colfax Avenue to access the large bus stalls, ensuring easy unloading near the concession stands and restroom facilities.

Cheer on the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High

While technically just a short drive west on I-70, Empower Field at Mile High is the home turf for every Aurora-based football fan. Whether you're heading to see the Denver Broncos or catching a high-profile concert, the stadium's 76,000-seat capacity means game day traffic is a force to be reckoned with. Avoiding the "Colfax Crawl" and the congestion on I-25 is a priority for any seasoned local fan group.

Parking at the stadium is notoriously expensive and often sells out months in advance for season ticket holders. We recommend saving your fans the hassle by renting a private shuttle service. Your driver can navigate the specific commercial traffic patterns, allowing your group to enjoy a pre-game drink or a "hype session" with the onboard PA system without worrying about a designated driver. Plus, with a bus rental, you have a built-in home base for tailgating with plenty of room for grills, chairs, and tents in the undercarriage bays.

Address: 1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204

Charter Bus Parking: Charter buses must enter the stadium grounds via 17th Avenue or Mile High Stadium Circle. Our buses typically stage in Lot L or the designated Oversized Vehicle Lot. Note that most stadium lots require a pre-purchased permit for buses; we recommend securing this at least two weeks before your event to ensure a spot in the commercial loop.

Root for the Rockies at Coors Field

Nothing beats a summer evening at Coors Field, especially with the iconic sunset views over the Rocky Mountains from the "Purple Row." Located in the LoDo district, just a 20-minute drive from central Aurora, Coors Field is a fan favorite for its classic brick architecture and the famous Blue Moon Brewery located right inside the stadium. However, the surrounding streets like Blake and 20th become nearly impassable for large vehicles an hour before the first pitch.

If your Aurora church group or school class is heading to a game, our minibus rentals are the ideal maneuverable solution for the tight downtown corners. Your driver will handle the one-way streets and heavy pedestrian traffic while you stay cool in the AC. After the game, you won't have to wander through the crowds to find a rideshare with a 4x surge price—your bus will be staged and waiting at a pre-arranged coordinate for an immediate departure.

Address: 2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205

Charter Bus Parking: Commercial bus loading and unloading is strictly enforced on 22nd Street between Blake and Champagne. For long-term staging during the game, your drivers often utilize the dedicated bus parking in Lot C, which is accessible via Park Avenue West and Wazee Street.

Championship Vibes at Ball Arena

Home to the 2022 Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche and the 2023 NBA Champion Denver Nuggets, Ball Arena is the epicenter of winter sports in the region. Situated right off Speer Boulevard, this multi-purpose arena is a frequent destination for Aurora fan clubs. Because it shares a footprint with Elitch Gardens, parking logistics during overlapping event days can be a nightmare for those unfamiliar with the lot layouts.

Your drivers navigate the Speer Boulevard exit and the specific height restrictions near the Pepsi Center (Ball Arena) overpasses. Whether you are bringing a youth hockey team to see the "Avs" or a corporate group for a Nuggets suites experience, we ensure a professional arrival. Our 35-passenger minibuses are a popular choice for these trips, providing a sleek, leather-seated interior for a more executive feel while still offering the efficiency of a private driver.

Address: 1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204

Charter Bus Parking: All buses and oversized vehicles are directed to the Toyota 4Runner Lot (South Lot). Access this by turning onto 7th Street from Auraria Parkway. We recommend using the designated drop-off lane on Chopper Circle for immediate access to the Grand Atrium entrance before the driver moves to the staging area.

University Athletics and Local Favorites

Aurora sports fans also show plenty of love to the collegiate level, frequently traveling to the University of Colorado Boulder for Buffaloes games or to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. A charter bus rental makes these 45-to-60-minute trips much more enjoyable, allowing fans to socialize rather than focusing on the heavy traffic patterns of the I-25 corridor. For local high school sports, we also provide frequent service to the EchoPark Automotive Stadium in nearby Parker, providing safe and reliable travel for football and lacrosse teams.

If you have time before a game at the Aurora Sports Park, consider a stop at Stanley Marketplace (2501 Dallas St, Aurora, CO 80010). This converted aviation factory features over 50 local independent entities, including bars and eateries like Stanley Beer Hall—the perfect place for a pre-game team meal. The parking lot at Stanley is bus-friendly if you enter via the Dallas Street entrance, making it an easy addition to any sports itinerary.

Address: Various Locations throughout Aurora and the Front Range

Charter Bus Parking: For trips to Boulder (Folsom Field) or Colorado Springs, we coordinate with university athletic departments to secure permits for the designated visitor bus lots. In Aurora, most local high school stadiums offer ample bus loops near the main ticketing gates for easy access.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aurora Sports Transportation

Where do charter buses drop off at Empower Field at Mile High?

Our charter buses utilize the designated commercial drop-off loop located near Gate 2 off Mile High Stadium Circle. This allows your group to bypass the heavy fan foot traffic and general parking queues on Federal Boulevard. Unlike rideshares that get stuck in the main flow of Lot C, we stage specific pick-up times to ensure your group can exit the stadium grounds swiftly once the game concludes.

Does the Aurora Sports Park have parking for full-size coach buses?

Yes, the Aurora Sports Park is very bus-friendly. Buses should enter via the main entrance on East Colfax Avenue and follow the signs for "Oversized Vehicle Parking." There are dedicated long stalls in the parking clusters near the center of the complex. Note: The park does not allow buses to idle in the fire lanes or along the curb of the soccer fields; your drivers will drop you at the nearest gate and move to a designated stall to keep the thoroughfares clear.

How do we handle bus parking for a Rockies game at Coors Field?

Note: Coors Field does not offer onsite parking for oversized vehicles in the primary fan lots. We transport your group to the designated unloading zone on 22nd Street (between Blake and Champagne), then stage our buses at the nearby Lot C or a remote lot near the South Platte River. Your driver will stay in communication via cell phone and return to the loading zone exactly when the ninth inning ends or as per your group's specific schedule.

Can we bring coolers and tailgating gear on the charter bus?

Absolutely! A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach is the best choice for tailgating because it features massive undercarriage compartments. You can store full-sized coolers, foldable tents, grills (ensure they are completely cooled before reloading), and lawn chairs. This keeps the interior passenger cabin clean and free of trip hazards. Just let our reservation specialist know you plan to tailgate so we can ensure your driver is aware of the extra loading time needed.

What is the best route to avoid traffic when traveling from Aurora to Ball Arena?

To avoid the heaviest congestion on I-25 North, your drivers often utilize the Central Business District (CBD) bypass or take Alameda Avenue to Speer Boulevard. This route provides a more direct approach to the Ball Arena parking lots and avoids the "mousetrap" interchange where I-25 and I-70 meet, which is notorious for delays during evening rush hour and stadium event starts.
