Major Roadways to Dick's Sporting Goods Park
Groups traveling south from Brighton can take I-76 West or US-85 South to I-270 East, or hop on E-470 South to Quebec Parkway. From there, East 60th Avenue and Prairie Parkway feed directly into the stadium complex perimeter road, Victory Way. Planning your route ahead of kickoff helps your driver bypass commuter slowdowns near the I-70 and Quebec Street interchange.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Dick's Sporting Goods Park
Charter buses can drop off and pick up soccer fans and tournament teams along the designated curb zones near Gate B and Gate G off Victory Way. Active loading and unloading is strictly enforced so stadium traffic keeps moving smoothly before the opening whistle. Have your whole group gathered outside the west gates after the final whistle before signaling your driver to pull up.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Dick's Sporting Goods Park
Unlike cramped downtown arenas, Dick’s Sporting Goods Park offers expansive surface lots that easily accommodate oversized vehicles, including Lots H and G on the northeast side of the complex. If your group is attending a major concert or championship match, confirm oversized bus parking fees and tailgating rules ahead of time so your driver can park and wait right on site. After you book online, a confirmation team will review your exact pickup and staging details so your itinerary stays right on track.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Traffic builds quickly along East 60th Avenue, Quebec Street, and 56th Avenue roughly 90 minutes before Rapids matches and Fourth of July fireworks shows. Local police often convert lanes on Victory Way into one-way directional flow immediately after the event ends. We recommend arriving at least two hours early if your group plans to tailgate on the complex grounds. Building a 30-minute buffer into your schedule ensures nobody misses kickoff!
Coors Field (Home of the Colorado Rockies)
With so many bus types in our network, taking your group from Brighton down to Coors Field at 2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205 in LoDo is an easy home run! Skip the downtown parking hunt and ride together to cheer on the Colorado Rockies in air-conditioned comfort.
Major Roadways to Coors Field
From Brighton, your charter bus will travel south down US-85 South or I-76 West to I-25 South, taking Exit 213 for Park Avenue West straight toward the ballpark district. Park Avenue West, 20th Street, and Wazee Street serve as the primary surface corridors leading into Lower Downtown (LoDo). Because downtown alleys and garage ramps have tight turns, experienced drivers stick to these main arteries.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Coors Field
Your charter bus can load and unload passengers at the designated motorcoach zone along Blake Street between 20th and 22nd Streets or near Gate A on Park Avenue West. Because Denver enforces a strict 5-minute idling limit, make sure every fan is at the curb ready to hop on or off right away.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Coors Field
Oversized charter buses and minibuses can park in the back of Lot A or Lot B (accessed via Park Avenue West and Wazee Street near 27th Street). Spaces for buses and RVs are limited on sold-out game days, so purchasing a bus parking pass in advance through the Rockies ticket office is highly recommended. If stadium lots fill up, your driver can stage at an off-site commercial lot and return once the ninth inning wraps up.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Expect pedestrian-only street closures along Blake Street, 20th Street, and 21st Street around McGregor Square beginning two hours before first pitch and lasting up to an hour after the game. Afternoon first pitches that overlap with weekday rush hour on I-25 and I-70 require an extra 45 minutes of travel time from Brighton. Pad your departure window so your group has plenty of time to grab food on the Rooftop before the game!
Ball Arena (Home of the Denver Nuggets and the Colorado Avalanche)
Let a driver handle the downtown traffic when your group heads to Ball Arena to watch the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche, or the Colorado Mammoth! From a 25-passenger minibus to a full-size coach, your fan group arrives together right on schedule.
Major Roadways to Ball Arena
Traveling from Brighton, buses take I-76 West to I-25 South and exit at Speer Boulevard (Exit 212B) or Auraria Parkway (Exit 210B). Both corridors border the arena grounds and provide direct access to Chopper Circle and Pepsi Drive. Using Auraria Parkway is often the smoothest approach when Speer Boulevard backs up toward LoDo.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Ball Arena
Active group drop-off and pickup takes place along Chopper Circle near the Grand Atrium entrance or along the outer commercial lane off Auraria Parkway. Drivers are not permitted to park or wait curbside along Speer Boulevard, and vehicles cannot be left unattended in loading zones. Before the fourth quarter or third period ends, confirm a single meeting point with your group—such as the Grand Atrium plaza outside the main doors—so everyone walks to the bus together. Once your whole party is accounted for, text your driver to pull in for a fast pickup.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Ball Arena
Full-size charter buses, party buses, and sprinter vans can park on site in the designated oversized vehicle section of the Camry North Lot, accessed via Pepsi Drive off Speer Boulevard or 9th Street off Auraria Parkway. Because the Toyota Garage has strict height clearance limits, motorcoaches must always use surface lot spaces or stage off-site until pickup.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Weeknight NBA and NHL games collide directly with evening rush hour along I-25, Speer Boulevard, and Colfax Avenue. Following concerts and playoff games, Denver Police restrict left turns out of arena lots onto Auraria Parkway and Speer Boulevard to flush out traffic. Leaving Brighton at least 90 minutes before tip-off or puck drop keeps your evening completely stress-free!
Empower Field at Mile High (Home of the Denver Broncos)
Brighton
Major Roadways to Empower Field at Mile High
From Brighton, take I-76 West or US-85 South to I-25 South and exit directly at 17th Avenue (Exit 211) or Colfax Avenue (Exit 210A). Local stadium access runs along Federal Boulevard to the west and Bryant Street to the east. Navigating these interchanges early is key on Broncos Sundays.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Empower Field at Mile High
Charter buses dropping off passengers without parking on site can use the designated commercial loading zones along Bryant Street on the east side of the stadium or near 17th Avenue and Mile High Stadium West Circle. Curbside waiting is prohibited by stadium traffic control, so unload promptly upon arrival. After the game, gather your entire group at your pre-arranged gate before calling your driver back to the curb.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Empower Field at Mile High
Dedicated RV and charter bus parking is available in Lot M on the north side of the stadium, accessed via 17th Avenue and Mile High Stadium West Circle. Because spaces in Lot M require a pre-purchased oversized permit and open 5 hours before kickoff, be sure to lock in your parking pass well in advance!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
With over 76,000 fans descending on the stadium, heavy congestion hits I-25, Federal Boulevard, and Colfax Avenue up to three hours before kickoff. Portions of Bryant Street and the stadium loop roads close to through-traffic on event days to protect pedestrian walkways. If your bus is staging off-site rather than parking in Lot M, plan for a 20- to 30-minute post-game window for your driver to navigate police barricades. Arriving three hours early gives your group the smoothest entry and maximum tailgating time!
Centennial Stadium (Home of Denver Summit FC)
Find the right 18-passenger minibus, 35-passenger minibus, or full-size motorcoach for soccer matches and regional track meets at Centennial Stadium! Located south of the metro area along the I-25 corridor in the Centennial / South Metro area, community and pro soccer venues require smart groups. Instead of dealing with overflow neighborhood parking or expensive rideshares, your team or supporter club can travel together on one set schedule. Fill out one quick form on Brighton
Major Roadways to Centennial Stadium
Groups departing from Brighton can bypass downtown Denver gridlock completely by taking E-470 South or I-76 West to I-225 South, connecting directly to I-25 and East Arapahoe Road (CO-88). Using the eastern beltway keeps your travel time predictable even during peak afternoon traffic.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Centennial Stadium
Your bus driver will pull into the designated team and spectator drop-off loop adjacent to the main stadium gates off the primary complex entrance drive. Have players and fans grab all equipment bags from the undercarriage bays immediately so the loading lane stays clear for incoming shuttles.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Centennial Stadium
Surface parking lots surrounding the stadium complex include designated perimeter stalls along the outer lot edges for school buses and commercial motorcoaches. Because suburban and expansion soccer venues share parking capacity with surrounding business parks and athletic fields, drivers may be directed to an overflow staging lot during sold-out Denver Summit FC matches. Parking fees are separate from your bus rental quote, so check with venue management prior to match day regarding oversized permits. Your driver will remain close by and ready to pull back up to the main gate as soon as the match concludes.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Match-day traffic bottlenecks are most common along Arapahoe Road, Peoria Street, and the I-25 exit ramps during the hour leading up to kickoff. Local traffic officers manage the main stadium intersections after the final whistle to clear out surface lots quickly. Building an extra 30 minutes into your itinerary ensures your players have plenty of time for warm-ups!
Quick Tips for Brighton Game-Day Charter Bus Groups
Find exactly what your roster or fan club needs for a smooth trip by planning ahead for stadium bag policies, clear-bag rules, and Colorado’s 5-minute commercial idling limit! Always exchange cell phone numbers with your driver upon arrival and pick a clear landmark outside the gates so your whole group can meet up before calling the bus to the curb. If you’re bringing heavy tailgating gear or team coolers, book a 56-passenger charter bus with under-floor storage bays and reserve your oversized stadium parking pass as early as possible!
