Glendale: The Heart of Arizona’s Professional Sports Scene
Glendale, Arizona, has transformed over the last two decades into a premier destination for sports enthusiasts worldwide. Home to some of the most technologically advanced venues in the country, the city regularly hosts high-profile events including the Super Bowl, the NCAA Final Four, and the Fiesta Bowl. When you travel here, you are entering a hub designed specifically for large-scale entertainment. The primary sports corridor is located around the Westgate Entertainment District, a sprawling complex that integrates professional arenas with dining, shopping, and nightlife. This centralization makes Glendale incredibly attractive for groups, but it also means that traffic congestion can become a significant hurdle during major events. Choosing a private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale allows your group to bypass the stress of navigating these crowds in separate vehicles.
Our team has been serving the Glendale community since 2011, providing top-tier transportation for everything from youth soccer leagues to professional athletic departments. We know that professional sports schedules demand precision. Whether your fan club is heading to see the Arizona Cardinals or your alumni group is gathering for a college bowl game, we ensure you arrive with plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere. Our fleet is equipped with amenities designed for the modern sports fan, including high-speed WiFi for checking fantasy scores, power outlets to keep your devices charged for photos, and climate-controlled cabins to escape the desert heat. With Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale, you get the expertise of a local company that understands the rhythm of the Valley’s sports calendar.
Navigating Game Days at State Farm Stadium
State Farm Stadium (1 Cardinals Dr, Glendale, AZ 85305) is an architectural marvel and the crown jewel of Glendale’s sports scene. As the home of the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, this stadium features a retractable roof and a roll-out grass field, making it a versatile venue for world-class football. On game days, the area surrounding the stadium, known as the Great Lawn, becomes a sea of red as fans gather for legendary tailgates. However, with a seating capacity of over 63,000, parking and traffic can be daunting. General parking lots often fill up hours before kickoff, and the walk from remote lots can be long and exhausting in the Arizona sun. By booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale, your group can enjoy curbside drop-off at designated bus zones, drastically reducing the time spent walking and ensuring your group stays together.
When you choose our service, your driver handles all the heavy lifting. While other fans are stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Glendale Avenue or the 101 Freeway, your group can relax in reclining seats and watch pre-game coverage on our onboard TV monitors. We recommend that groups arriving by charter bus coordinate with the stadium’s guest services for specific parking permits, as these are not included in our standard quotes. Having a dedicated motorcoach also provides a secure place to store your tailgating gear, coolers, and banners during the game. Whether you’re a local fan group from Peoria or a visiting team from out of state, Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale provides the reliability you need to focus on the action on the field. Give us a call at 602-338-9083 to secure your stadium shuttle today!
Catching NHL Action and Major Concerts at Desert Diamond Arena
Located just steps away from the football stadium is the Desert Diamond Arena (9400 W Maryland Ave, Glendale, AZ 85305). While formerly the home of NHL hockey, this venue continues to be a major stop for global concert tours, professional bull riding, and high-stakes basketball tournaments. Groups heading to this arena for a sold-out show or a sporting event often face the challenge of expensive rideshare surge pricing and limited parking availability within the immediate Westgate area. A party bus or minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale is the perfect solution for keeping your group moving on your own terms. We can accommodate small groups of 15 in a sleek minibus or up to 50 in one of our fully-loaded party buses , complete with LED lighting and Bluetooth sound systems to get the party started before you even arrive.
Since 2011, we have helped thousands of concert-goers and sports fans maximize their time at Desert Diamond Arena. The drivers are familiar with the Maryland Avenue loading zones and the surrounding traffic patterns, ensuring a smooth transition from your pickup location to the arena doors. For corporate groups hosting clients at a luxury suite or families celebrating a milestone birthday with a show, our private shuttles provide a level of comfort and exclusivity that public transportation simply cannot offer. After the final encore or the buzzer sounds, your driver will be waiting at a pre-arranged spot, so you can avoid the chaos of the post-event rush. Trust Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale to provide the highest level of service for your next arena outing.
Spring Training Magic at Camelback Ranch-Glendale
For many sports fans, there is nothing better than the relaxed, sun-drenched atmosphere of Cactus League Spring Training. Glendale is proud to host the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch-Glendale (10710 W Camelback Rd, Glendale, AZ 85307). This picturesque facility features a 13,000-seat stadium, a beautiful lake, and walking trails that allow fans to get up close and personal with their favorite players. Because Spring Training attracts visitors from all over the country, hotels and rental cars in the Valley become incredibly expensive and difficult to secure. Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale simplifies your baseball pilgrimage by providing custom shuttle packages that can transport your group from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport directly to the ballpark or your resort.
Traveling by charter bus to Camelback Ranch is a home run for any group of baseball lovers. Our motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage storage, perfect for stowing your chairs, blankets, and baseball gear. If you are planning a "ballpark hop" to see other teams in nearby Surprise or Goodyear, our 24/7 team can build a custom multi-stop itinerary that follows the schedule of your favorite teams. We’ve worked with fan clubs, youth baseball teams, and senior centers to provide comfortable, air-conditioned transportation that beats the heat. With plush seating and panoramic windows, you can enjoy the scenic desert views between games. Call Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale at 602-338-9083 to discuss your Spring Training itinerary and get a free, 30-second quote!
Game Day Hangouts and Tailgating in the Westgate Entertainment District
The fun in Glendale doesn't stop when the game ends—or even before it begins! The Westgate Entertainment District (6770 N Sunrise Blvd, Glendale, AZ 85305) is the heart of the city’s social scene. Featuring over 20 restaurants and bars, an 18-screen theater, and a massive dancing fountain, Westgate is the ultimate pre-game and post-game destination. Popular spots like State 48 Funk House, McFadden’s Restaurant and Saloon, and Yard House are packed with fans clad in their team colors. Navigating Westgate on a game day with a large group can be a logistical nightmare as parking garages reach capacity and foot traffic becomes heavy. A private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale allows you to designate a pickup point nearby, so your group can enjoy the dining and drinks without worrying about a designated driver or finding a spot for multiple cars.
Our corporate and private event groups love the flexibility that a Westgate shuttle provides. We can arrange for your bus to drop you off for a team-building lunch at Dave & Buster’s before you head over to the stadium, or set up a late-night pickup after your group has enjoyed the nightlife. Because we operate 24/7/365, we are always ready to accommodate your group’s unique schedule. Whether you are hosting a bachelor party crawl through the district or a company-wide outing, our buses provide a safe, climate-controlled home base. With Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale, you have the freedom to experience the best of Glendale’s hospitality while we handle the roads. We’ve been part of the Glendale landscape since 2011, and we know exactly how to make your Westgate experience spectacular.
Beyond the Arena: Exploring Glendale’s Local Gems
While the stadiums get the most attention, Glendale has much more to offer for groups looking to round out their sports trip. Historic Downtown Glendale is a charming area filled with antique shops, local diners, and the famous Cerreta Candy Co. (5345 W Glendale Ave, Glendale, AZ 85301). It’s the perfect place to take a break from the high-energy stadium environment and enjoy a bit of local flavor. Another must-visit for groups is the Thunderbird Conservation Park, which offers miles of hiking trails and stunning views of the Valley. For groups traveling with students or those interested in history, the Manistee Ranch Park provides a glimpse into the city’s agricultural past. Coordinating a trip to these diverse locations is made easy with Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale.
A private charter bus allows you to build a comprehensive itinerary that covers both the "big game" and these hidden local treasures. Instead of worrying about GPS directions to various parks and museums, your driver will follow your plan precisely. Our minibuses are particularly popular for these types of local tours, as they are nimble enough to navigate the smaller streets of the historic district while still offering the comfort of a full-size coach. We can help you plan stops for a group dinner at Haus Murphy’s German Restaurant or a quick visit to the Glendale Public Library. No matter where your interests lead you in the 85301 or 85305 zip codes, Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale is here to provide the most reliable and affordable transportation in town.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glendale Sports Transportation
How far in advance should I book for major events like the Super Bowl or Fiesta Bowl?
For high-demand sporting events in Glendale, we strongly recommend booking your bus rental as early as possible—ideally 6 to 9 months in advance. Glendale is a major host for "bucket list" events like the Super Bowl and the NCAA Final Four, which draw visitors from across the globe. During these times, the entire Valley’s supply of charter buses, minibuses, and party buses becomes extremely limited. Prices also tend to increase as availability decreases. By booking early, you lock in the current rates and ensure you get the specific vehicle type and amenities you want. If you are planning for Spring Training (March) or the height of the NFL season, booking 3 to 4 months out is usually sufficient, but earlier is always better to guarantee your group has a reliable ride!
Can our fan group bring coolers and tailgating gear on the bus?
Absolutely! One of the biggest advantages of renting a charter bus for a game is the ample storage space. Our full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches feature large undercarriage bays that are perfect for stowing heavy coolers, folding tables, chairs, grills (please ensure they are completely cool and propane tanks are disconnected), and banners. Smaller minibuses offer overhead parcel racks and, in some models, a rear cargo area for bags and smaller items. We want you to have the ultimate tailgating experience! Just let your reservation specialist know if you have oversized equipment so we can match you with the bus that has the most storage capacity. Please note that while many of our buses allow for a social atmosphere, we ask that all groups drink responsibly and follow local regulations regarding open containers.
What are the public transit options in Glendale versus a private bus?
Glendale is served by Valley Metro buses, and the Light Rail has a station at 19th Avenue and Montebello which is several miles from the sports district. While public transit is an option for solo travelers, it is often impractical for groups. Buses run on fixed schedules that may not align with late-game finishes, and navigating transfers with a large group and tailgating gear can be stressful and time-consuming. Rideshares like Uber and Lyft are available but face massive surge pricing and long wait times (sometimes over an hour) after major events at State Farm Stadium. A private charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale provides a dedicated vehicle that runs 100% on your schedule. You get door-to-door service, a guaranteed seat for everyone, and the comfort of a climate-controlled cabin—all while keeping your entire group together.
What types of buses are available for Glendale sports teams and fans?
Charter Bus Rental Company Glendale operates one of the most diverse fleets in Arizona to meet any headcount. For smaller groups, such as a fan club of 15-20 or a small executive team, our 18-passenger and 25-passenger minibuses are excellent, cost-effective options. For medium-sized rosters or larger fan groups, we offer 35-passenger midibuses. For large-scale transportation, such as an entire high school band or a college football team, our 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches are the industry standard, offering onboard restrooms and maximum storage. If you want to turn the ride into a party, we also have party buses that seat up to 40 or 50 passengers with wraparound seating and upgraded sound systems. We even offer ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts to ensure every fan can join the trip safely and comfortably!
