There's nothing like a game-day bus. Team colors on every seat, the fight song on the stereo, and a full crew rolling into the stadium lot together. A charter bus turns game-day traffic, parking, and post-game chaos into one social, stress-free ride — whether you're tailgating for the Lions at Ford Field, catching a Tigers game at Comerica Park, or following the Wolverines on the road. ## Why Charter a Bus for Game Day ### Beat Stadium Parking Stadium parking is expensive ($40–$80+ per car), limited, and often a long walk from the gate. A single 56-passenger motorcoach replaces up to 20 cars, drops your group at the lot, and picks you up after the final whistle. ### Tailgate Together Many of our game-day bookings include tailgate setup. Arrive early, unload coolers and grills from the underfloor bays, and set up next to the bus. It's the easiest tailgate you'll ever run. ### No Designated Driver Game-day drinking is common. A professional CDL-licensed driver means everyone gets home safely — no one stuck as the sober driver, no rideshare surges after a night game. ### Travel as a Crew Fan buses build the energy before kickoff and keep it going after the game. For away games and road trips, the bus ride is half the tradition. ## Teams and Stadiums We Serve - **Detroit Lions** — Ford Field - **Detroit Tigers** — Comerica Park - **Detroit Red Wings & Pistons** — Little Caesars Arena - **Michigan Wolverines** — The Big House, Ann Arbor - **Michigan State Spartans** — Spartan Stadium, East Lansing - **Chicago Cubs** — Wrigley Field - **Chicago Bulls & Blackhawks** — United Center - **Grand Rapids Griffins** — Van Andel Arena - **Minor league, college, and youth tournaments** across the Midwest ## Vehicle Options for Fan Groups - **56-Passenger Motorcoach** — the full fan bus. Restroom onboard, underfloor storage for coolers and tailgate gear. - **40-Passenger Mini-Coach** — mid-size fan clubs and alumni groups. - **25-Passenger Mini-Coach** — smaller tailgate crews. - **16-Passenger Sprinter Van** — VIP and booster-club transfers. ## Game-Day Planning Checklist 1. **Book early.** Rivalry games, playoffs, and home openers sell out vehicles weeks ahead. 2. **Pick one collection point.** A bar, office, or parking lot keeps the group on schedule. 3. **Share kickoff time and tailgate plans.** We'll time your arrival and map the lot access. 4. **Arrange your post-game pickup before kickoff.** Crowds and cell service are unpredictable after a game lets out. 5. **Pack the tailgate.** Coolers, grills, flags, and team colors all ride in the baggage bays. ## Tailgating and Logistics For tailgate bookings, we coordinate lot arrival times with venue tailgate policies. Your driver helps unload gear and stays accessible throughout the tailgate. After the game, we meet at the pre-arranged pickup point and roll out together. Ready to book your game-day bus?
