A few of the companies we’ve worked with
New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena
Located just across the Passaic River in Harrison, Red Bull Arena is widely considered the premier soccer-specific stadium in North America. Since its opening in 2010, this 25,000-seat venue has been the home turf for the New York Red Bulls of MLS. The stadium features a dynamic tension-skinned roof that covers all seats, ensuring that even during a sudden Jersey downpour, the "South Ward" supporters stay dry while they lead the chants.
Planning a get-together with your favorite sports fans? Make it one they won’t soon forget and host it at Red Bull Arena! The arena offers several rentable spaces for private events—including the elegant Bullock’s Steakhouse and the expansive West Atrium. These spaces can be reserved for corporate meetings or private parties, often including pitch-side access for photos. If you are bringing a youth soccer league for a "Dream Team" experience, where kids walk out with the pros, coordinating that movement requires precision. Our 35-passenger minibuses are the perfect size for youth rosters and equipment bags, ensuring the team stays focused on the match rather than the PATH train schedule.
Parking at Red Bull Arena is notorious for its complexity. The surrounding Harrison area is undergoing massive redevelopment, meaning what was a parking lot last season might be an apartment complex this year. We recommend saving your fans the hassle of getting to the game by renting a private shuttle service. A driver can handle the navigation through the narrow Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard while you prep your chants.
Address: 600 Guyon Dr, Harrison, NJ 07029
Charter Bus Parking: Buses must enter the Harrison area via Cape May Street to access the designated oversized vehicle lot. Charter Bus Jersey City drivers utilize the commercial drop-off zone at Gate B, allowing passengers to unload mere steps from the Horizon Gate entrance. After unloading, we stage the vehicles at the off-site warehouse lots to keep the arena perimeter clear for emergency vehicles.
New York Giants and Jets at MetLife Stadium
If you’re a New Jersey sports fan, we probably don’t need to tell you why this place is significant. Located just 7 miles north of Jersey City in the Meadowlands Sports Complex, MetLife Stadium is the only venue in the NFL that serves as the home for two franchises: the New York Giants and the New York Jets. With a staggering capacity of 82,500, it is one of the most-visited venues in the world, having hosted the Super Bowl, WrestleMania, and countless sell-out concerts from the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.
Before or after the game, consider spending some time exploring American Dream, the massive entertainment and retail complex adjacent to the stadium. There, fans can hit the Nickelodeon Universe theme park or the DreamWorks Water Park before walking over to the stadium via the pedestrian bridge. It’s an ideal way to turn a Sunday afternoon game into a full-day family excursion.
In this complex, you’ll also find the New York Giants Legacy Ship, a massive tribute to the team's four Super Bowl trophies. While the stadium does not offer public walking tours on game days, the Meadowlands is a hub for STEM learning. Call ahead to reserve a field trip package at the nearby Liberty Science Center in Jersey City before heading to the stadium to learn about the physics of a 50-yard field goal or the civil engineering required to manage a crowd of 80,000.
Those planning to stop by for a game should keep in mind that the "MetLife Loop" can become a total standstill on game days. While the Meadowlands Rail Line runs from Hoboken, it can be incredibly crowded and prone to delays. If you’re traveling with a large group of 50 or more, we recommend renting a 56-passenger motorcoach. Charter Bus Jersey City can connect you with a rental that offers undercarriage storage for grills, chairs, and coolers, making your tailgate in the Gold Lot the envy of the stadium.
Address: 1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073
Charter Bus Parking: MetLife Stadium requires a pre-purchased permit for all oversized vehicles. Buses are directed to Lot L, which is specifically designed to accommodate 56-passenger coaches. The drivers avoid the Route 3 bottleneck by using the Service Road entrance near the Meadowlands Racetrack, ensuring your group arrives at the tailgate before the grills even get hot.
Saint Peter’s Peacocks at Run Baby Run Arena
Right here in the heart of Jersey City, you can witness the "Cinderella Story" of college basketball. Run Baby Run Arena at the Yanitelli Center is the home of the Saint Peter’s University Peacocks. After their historic run to the Elite Eight in 2022, the Peacocks have put Jersey City firmly on the national collegiate sports map. This intimate 3,200-seat venue provides an electric atmosphere where fans are practically on top of the action.
Address: 2641 John F. Kennedy Blvd, Jersey City, NJ 07306
Charter Bus Parking: Kennedy Boulevard is a major thoroughfare with strict "No Standing" zones. Charter Bus Jersey City utilizes the designated loading area at the corner of Montgomery Street and JFK Blvd. Because the campus is in a dense urban environment, the drivers stage at the Liberty State Park parking lots after drop-off, returning for a precise pick-up as soon as the final buzzer sounds.
New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center
Just a 15-minute drive from Jersey City via the Pulaski Skyway, "The Rock" is the premier indoor arena in the region. Home to the NHL’s New Jersey Devils and Seton Hall Pirates basketball, the Prudential Center is a 19,500-seat marvel known for its massive 3D scoreboard and high-end fan experience. The Championship Plaza outside the arena often hosts fan fests with live music and interactive games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Address: 25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102
Charter Bus Parking: The Prudential Center utilizes a commercial vehicle staging area on Mulberry Street. The drivers avoid the height restrictions of the lower levels of the McCarter Highway, instead approaching via Raymond Boulevard to ensure the AC units on our 56-passenger coaches remain cleared. Group drop-offs are coordinated at the Lafayette Street entrance for immediate arena access.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jersey City Sports Transportation
Where do charter buses park at MetLife Stadium for Giants and Jets games?
Charter buses are required to park in Lot L at MetLife Stadium. You must pre-purchase a "Bus Parking Permit" through the stadium's official website or the team's ticket office. The drivers are familiar with the specific commercial vehicle lanes; we enter via the Western Road entrance to avoid the passenger car congestion at the main gates. We recommend arriving at least 4 hours before kickoff to secure your spot within Lot L for the best tailgating experience.
How does the group drop-off work at Red Bull Arena?
Red Bull Arena has a dedicated commercial drop-off loop located on Guyon Drive. Unlike rideshares that drop you blocks away due to road closures, our charter buses have access to the inner perimeter. We unload your group near the Horizon Gate, then move the bus to a remote staging area in Harrison. We coordinate with your group leader via cell phone to return to the loop exactly 15 minutes before the match ends, ensuring you beat the rush to the Pulaski Skyway.
Can a charter bus navigate the streets near Saint Peter’s University?
Yes, but it requires local expertise. Kennedy Boulevard has specific weight and length restrictions that generic GPS apps often ignore. At Charter Bus Jersey City, we utilize 35-passenger minibuses for Saint Peter's games because they navigate the tight turns near Montgomery Street more effectively. We utilize the school's designated bus loading zone to ensure students and fans aren't crossing busy lanes of traffic.
Do your sports bus rentals allow tailgating equipment?
Absolutely. Our full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches feature massive undercarriage storage bays (approximately 450 cubic feet of space). This is plenty of room for industrial-sized grills, pop-up tents, coolers, and even lawn games like cornhole. We recommend packing your gear in plastic bins for easy loading. Please note that while we provide the storage, groups are responsible for ensuring all charcoal is fully extinguished and grills are cool before reloading at the end of the game.
How do we avoid the Pulaski Skyway construction delays on game day?
Construction on the Pulaski Skyway is a way of life in Jersey City. Our dispatch team monitors real-time traffic from NJDOT. If the Skyway is backed up, the drivers know alternate routes via the Wittpenn Bridge (Route 7) or the New Jersey Turnpike Hudson County Extension. By booking with a local provider like Charter Bus Jersey City, you’re getting a driver who knows how to "call an audible" when a tunnel or bridge becomes a bottleneck.
