A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch the Utah Grizzlies at the Maverik Center
The Maverik Center (3200 Decker Lake Dr, West Valley City, UT 84119) is the crown jewel of West Valley City sports. Known globally for hosting the 2002 Olympic Winter Games' ice hockey events, it now serves as the home ice for the ECHL’s Utah Grizzlies. This 12,000-seat arena offers an intimate yet electric atmosphere that makes every hit and goal feel personal. Beyond hockey, the venue frequently hosts the Days of '47 Cowboy Games and World Rodeo, attracting fans from across the state.
Planning a group outing to a Grizzlies game? Avoid the frustration of the Decker Lake Drive congestion. For large motorcoaches, we utilize the designated commercial drop-off zone located on the north side of the arena, accessible via City Center Drive. This allows your fans to unload directly near the main entrance while avoiding the primary flow of passenger vehicles entering the main pay-lots. Once unloaded, the drivers stage the buses at an off-site overflow area, returning for a synchronized pick-up exactly 15 minutes before the final buzzer to ensure your group isn't left waiting in the cold.
Note that standard parking at the Maverik Center is $10.00–$20.00 for cars, but bus parking is restricted. We coordinate with arena management to secure space in the Lot D oversized vehicle section. It is essential to avoid the residential streets to the east of the venue, as West Valley City strictly enforces "No Parking" zones for commercial vehicles in these neighborhoods.
High-Speed Thrills at the Utah Motorsports Campus
While located just a short drive west of the city limits, the Utah Motorsports Campus (512 Sheep Ln, Erda, UT 84074) is a staple for West Valley City racing fans. This world-class facility hosts everything from Superbike championships to off-road racing and amateur karting. If your group is heading out for a day of high-octane excitement, traveling together in a climate-controlled charter bus is the only way to tackle the drive across the Tooele Valley, especially during the sweltering summer months.
Our 56-passenger motorcoaches offer ample undercarriage storage for your group's coolers, shade tents, and racing gear, keeping the cabin aisles clear and safe. When arriving at the campus, we bypass the main spectator gates and utilize the Commercial Entrance off Sheep Lane. This provides a direct route to the paddock areas or grandstands, depending on your event credentials. This level of route specificity ensures your VIP guests or corporate sponsors spend more time at the track and less time idling in the dust of the outer lots.
Regional Tournaments at the West Valley City Family Fitness Center
For youth sports and local leagues, the West Valley City Family Fitness Center (5415 W 3100 S, West Valley City, UT 84120) is a frequent site for regional swim meets and basketball tournaments. With its Olympic-sized pool and multiple hardwood courts, it attracts teams from across the Wasatch Front. Coordinating 15-passenger vans for a whole team is a logistical headache; a single minibus rental keeps your athletes together, supervised, and on schedule.
Parking at the Fitness Center can be extremely tight on Saturday mornings. We recommend a "Drop and Go" strategy. Your driver will pull into the designated bus loop at the front of the building off 3100 South to unload the team and their equipment. The bus will then relocate to the nearby Centennial Park overflow lot. This keeps the Fitness Center’s main lot open for parents and spectators while ensuring the team has a climate-controlled "locker room on wheels" to return to after their games are finished.
Game Day at the Usana Amphitheatre
While primarily a concert venue, the Usana Amphitheatre (5150 Upper Ridge Rd, West Valley City, UT 84118) occasionally hosts specialized athletic exhibitions and large-scale spirit rallies. Located on the western edge of the city, this venue is notorious for its single-entry traffic flow that can back up for miles on the 5600 West corridor. A private shuttle is the most effective way to navigate this bottleneck.
The drivers know how to utilize Gate B on the south side of the venue, which is specifically reserved for buses and high-occupancy vehicles. This allows your group to bypass the general admission line that stretches toward the 201 Highway. We also advise that the venue has a strict "no tailgating" policy in the main lots, so having a bus with onboard WiFi and entertainment systems allows your group to start the party safely and legally while in transit.
Professional Sports in Nearby Salt Lake City
West Valley City’s proximity to downtown Salt Lake means many local fans regularly head to the Delta Center (301 S Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101) to cheer on the Utah Jazz or the NHL's Utah Hockey Club. Navigating the 10-mile stretch between West Valley and the Delta Center during the 5:00 PM rush hour requires a strategic approach. We typically avoid the I-15/I-80 "Spaghetti Bowl" by utilizing the West Valley Highway (SR-172) and connecting through local arterials to reach the arena’s west side.
For Delta Center events, the drop-off point is located on 300 West between North Temple and South Temple. This is a high-traffic area, and staging is strictly limited to 5 minutes. Our dispatch team stays in constant communication with your driver to time the pick-up perfectly, ensuring the bus arrives exactly as your group exits the arena. This precision prevents your group from having to navigate the crowded sidewalks for an extended period.
West Valley City Amateur and High School Athletics
Supporting local talent at Granger High School or Hunter High School stadiums? Whether it's a Friday night football rivalry or a regional track meet, we provide reliable transport for booster clubs and student sections. We understand that local high school lots are not designed for 45-foot motorcoaches. We coordinate with school administration to utilize the dedicated bus lanes used for daily student transport, ensuring your group has the shortest walk possible to the bleachers.
Our fleet includes various sizes to match your needs, from 24-passenger minibuses for the golf team to full-size coaches for the entire marching band. Each vehicle can be equipped with PA systems, allowing coaches or group leaders to make announcements or lead cheers on the way to the big game. Choose Charter Bus West Valley City to ensure your local athletes have the professional support they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About West Valley City Sports Transportation
Where do charter buses park at the Maverik Center?
Charter buses are typically directed to the Lot D oversized vehicle area. It is important to enter via the north entrance on City Center Drive to avoid the low-clearance areas and passenger car congestion on the south side. Drivers should remain with their vehicles or stage at a pre-approved off-site location if the lot reaches capacity during high-profile events like the Winter Rodeo.
Can we bring coolers and tailgating gear on the bus?
Yes, our full-size motorcoaches feature extensive undercarriage storage compartments perfect for coolers, chairs, and sports equipment. However, please note that many West Valley City venues, including the Maverik Center and Usana Amphitheatre, have strict policies regarding tailgating in their parking lots. We recommend enjoying your refreshments on the bus while in transit to comply with local venue regulations.
How do you handle traffic on 5600 West for Usana Amphitheatre events?
The 5600 West corridor is one of the most congested areas during event days. Our strategy involves utilizing the 201 Frontage Road and entering through Gate B (the commercial vehicle gate). This allows us to avoid the bulk of the general spectator traffic. We also schedule arrivals at least 60 to 90 minutes before the event start time to ensure a stress-free entry.
Is there a designated drop-off for youth teams at the Family Fitness Center?
Yes, there is a circular bus loop located directly in front of the main entrance on 3100 South. This is reserved for active loading and unloading only. To ensure the safety of the athletes, the drivers will unload all passengers and gear in this loop before relocating the bus to an authorized parking area, such as the nearby Centennial Park lot, until the event concludes.
Do your buses have WiFi for fans to check scores and stats?
Most of our modern charter buses and minibuses can be equipped with high-speed onboard WiFi and power outlets upon request. This is a popular feature for fan groups traveling to Salt Lake City or the Utah Motorsports Campus, allowing everyone to stay connected, update social media, and track fantasy scores throughout the journey.
