A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center
Located in the heart of downtown, the Delta Center (301 S Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101) is the iconic home of the Utah Jazz. With a seating capacity of nearly 18,000, this arena is known for being one of the loudest environments in the NBA. Beyond basketball, the venue hosts massive concert tours and the NHL’s newest addition, making it a year-round hub for entertainment.If you are coordinating a corporate outing or a large group of fans, navigating the downtown grid during a home game can be a nightmare. Traffic typically bottlenecks at the intersection of 300 West and South Temple. By booking a private shuttle, your group can avoid the frustration of hunting for spots in the crowded City Creek parking garages. The drivers utilize the designated commercial drop-off zone on 300 West, directly in front of the arena's main entrance. This allows your group to bypass the general traffic flow and head straight to the gates.
The Delta Center does not offer on-site parking for oversized vehicles. Once your group is dropped off, we stage our buses at the nearby Salt Palace Convention Center bus bays or designated off-site lots on the west side of downtown. Your driver will be staged and ready for pick-up exactly when the final buzzer sounds, ensuring a seamless exit away from the post-game crowds.
High-Energy Soccer at America First Field
Formerly known as Rio Tinto Stadium, America First Field (9256 State St, Sandy, UT 84070) is the home of Real Salt Lake (MLS) and the Utah Royals (NWSL). Located just south of the city in Sandy, this stadium offers stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains and an electric atmosphere, especially in the "South Side" supporter section.Planning a massive tailgate? A charter bus rental is the ultimate game-changer for soccer fans. Instead of carpooling in a dozen separate vehicles, your entire group can ride together with enough undercarriage storage for coolers, tents, and lawn chairs. When traveling from Salt Lake City, we recommend taking I-15 South and exiting on 9000 South. To avoid the heavy congestion near the State Street entrance, the drivers often utilize the Ring Road access points for more efficient entry.
Address: 9256 State St, Sandy, UT 84070
America First Field offers dedicated bus parking in the North Lot. It is highly recommended to coordinate with the stadium's group sales department at least 48 hours in advance to secure a permit, as oversized spaces fill up quickly for rivalry matches against LAFC or the Seattle Sounders.
College Football Saturdays at Rice-Eccles Stadium
There is nothing quite like a Saturday in Salt Lake City when the University of Utah Utes are playing at Rice-Eccles Stadium (451 1400 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84112). With recent expansions bringing capacity to over 51,000, the stadium is a sea of red on game days. Because the stadium is located on the University of Utah campus, parking is notoriously difficult and heavily restricted to permit holders. For alumni groups or visiting fan clubs, a charter bus is the only way to guarantee a punctual arrival. We bypass the gridlock on 400 South by utilizing specialized routing through Foothill Drive. Our buses utilize the designated shuttle drop-off point near the Stadium TRAX station on 1300 East. This puts your group within a short walking distance of the Olympic Cauldron Park and the main gates, while your driver handles the logistical headache of campus parking.
Address: 451 1400 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84112
Buses are typically required to park at the auxiliary lots near the Steiner Ice Center or further east toward Fort Douglas. Note that 500 South experiences extreme congestion for two hours following any home game; the drivers plan exit routes toward Mario Capecchi Drive to get your group back to the hotel faster.
Experience Baseball History at Smith’s Ballpark
Smith’s Ballpark (77 W 1300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84115) offers one of the most scenic backdrops in all of professional sports. Home to the Salt Lake Bees (Triple-A affiliate of the LA Angels), the stadium looks directly out onto the snow-capped peaks of the Wasatch Range. It’s a favorite for family reunions, company picnics, and youth league outings.The stadium is located in the Liberty Wells neighborhood, where residential parking enforcement is strict. Don't risk your group getting tickets or being split up blocks away. A private minibus can drop your party off right at the main ticket office on 1300 South. If you’re planning a "night at the park" for your employees, a charter bus allows everyone to enjoy the game (and a few local brews) safely while a driver handles the navigation through the busy 1300 South corridor.
Address: 77 W 1300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84115
Oversized vehicle parking is available in the paved lot directly north of the stadium, accessible via West Temple. We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before first pitch to ensure the bus can maneuver into the designated stalls before the lot reaches capacity.
The Legacy of the 2002 Winter Olympics
Salt Lake City’s identity is forever tied to the 2002 Winter Games, and many of the venues remain world-class training and competition sites. The Utah Olympic Oval (5662 Cougar Ln, Kearns, UT 84118), known as the "Fastest Ice on Earth," regularly hosts World Cup speed skating events. Meanwhile, the Utah Olympic Park in nearby Park City offers bobsled rides and ski jumping shows.If your group is interested in a "Legacy Tour," we can coordinate a multi-stop itinerary that covers both the Kearns and Park City facilities. Navigating the climb up I-80 toward Park City (Parley's Canyon) in a standard passenger van can be taxing, especially in winter weather. Our full-size motorcoaches are equipped with powerful engines and drivers who handle the 7,000-foot elevation gain with ease. We’ll drop you at the Quinney Welcome Center, bypassing the tight parking loops that often trap smaller SUVs.
Address: 3419 Olympic Pkwy, Park City, UT 84098
Utah Olympic Park has a dedicated motorcoach turnaround and parking area near the K120 jump. In the winter months, ensure your group is aware that the park may require buses to have specific traction devices or snow tires, which our fleet maintains for all mountain routes.
Catch Future Stars at the Maverik Center
For hockey fans, the Maverik Center (3200 S Decker Lake Dr, West Valley City, UT 84119) is the place to be. As the home of the Utah Grizzlies (ECHL), this 12,000-seat arena provides an intimate and intense environment for puck drop. It also serves as a major hub for Disney on Ice and various touring championships.The arena is conveniently located just off I-215, but the Decker Lake Drive exit can become a bottleneck during sell-out events. We suggest our clients schedule a pick-up at least 90 minutes before the event starts. The drivers are familiar with the commercial vehicle lanes at the Maverik Center, providing a direct drop-off at the VIP/Member entrance. This is particularly beneficial for youth hockey teams traveling with heavy bags of gear, as it minimizes the distance the equipment needs to be carried.
Address: 3200 S Decker Lake Dr, West Valley City, UT 84119
Dedicated bus parking is located in the Gold Lot. Fees vary by event but range from $25.00 to $40.00 for oversized vehicles. Your driver will remain with the vehicle or in the staging area, ensuring that if your group wants to leave early, your ride is only a text message away.

Frequently Asked Questions About Salt Lake City Sports Transportation
Where do charter buses drop off at the Delta Center?
For Utah Jazz games and major events, charter buses utilize the designated commercial vehicle drop-off loop located on 300 West between South Temple and 100 South. This area is specifically for high-capacity vehicles to unload quickly so passengers can access the main plaza without crossing heavy traffic. After drop-off, buses must relocate to off-site staging areas as there is no active idling allowed in this lane.
How much does it cost to park a bus at America First Field?
Bus parking for Real Salt Lake games at America First Field ranges from $30.00 to $50.00, depending on the match’s popularity and whether it is a playoff event. It is essential to enter via the 9000 South entrance and follow signs for "Oversized Vehicle Parking" in the North Lot. We recommend pre-purchasing a parking pass through the RSL Group Sales department to guarantee a spot on game day.
Can we bring tailgating gear on our Salt Lake City bus rental?
Absolutely. Our full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches feature extensive undercarriage storage bays perfect for coolers, foldable tables, pop-up tents, and grills. We ask that all charcoal or propane equipment be properly extinguished and cooled before being loaded back onto the bus for safety. Your driver can assist in organizing the storage so your gear is easily accessible once you arrive at the stadium lot.
Is there a height restriction for buses traveling to Rice-Eccles Stadium?
While most major thoroughfares leading to the University of Utah are coach-friendly, drivers must avoid certain residential side streets in the Federal Heights area due to low-hanging trees and narrow turns. We primarily use 400 South or Foothill Drive to reach the stadium. Our dispatch team double-checks all routes to ensure our 13-foot-tall motorcoaches clear all bridges and overhead obstructions near the campus.
What amenities are best for sports teams traveling in Utah?
For local teams heading to away games or tournaments, we highly recommend requesting a bus with onboard WiFi and power outlets. This allows players to review game film on their tablets or keep their phones charged during the drive. Onboard restrooms are also a standard feature on our larger coaches, which is a significant advantage for keeping the team on schedule by eliminating the need for frequent rest stop breaks along I-15.
