Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff at Sports Venues in The Colony

AT&T Stadium (Home of the Dallas Cowboys)

Find the right game-day shuttle for your group trip from The Colony down to AT&T Stadium at 1 AT&T Way, Arlington, TX 76011! Whether you’re cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, attending the Cotton Bowl Classic, or catching a massive stadium concert, a private 56-passenger charter bus keeps everyone together. Your driver handles the Arlington Entertainment District gridlock while your group enjoys climate-controlled comfort and onboard WiFi.

Major Roadways to AT&T Stadium

Groups departing from The Colony typically head south via the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) and connect straight onto SH 360 South or President George Bush Turnpike (SH 161) toward I-30 (Tom Landry Freeway). From I-30, exit onto Collins Street or Ballpark Way and use Randol Mill Road for direct access to the stadium’s northern bus lots. Because game-day traffic backs up along SH 360 and I-30 two hours before kickoff, building extra buffer time into your departure from The Colony is essential. Your driver will monitor live traffic updates to pick the fastest approach into Arlington.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at AT&T Stadium

Active group drop-off at AT&T Stadium takes place on the north side along Randol Mill Road at Lot 1 or on the south side along Cowboys Way at Lot 6. Smaller groups riding in a 15-passenger minibus or sprinter van with a driver can unload quickly at these designated zones before the vehicle moves to parking. For post-game pickups, gather your entire group at the Miller LiteHouse entrance near the intersection of North Collins Street and Cowboys Way. Because Arlington police restrict curbside waiting, make sure every passenger is present before texting your driver to pull up.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at AT&T Stadium

Designated charter bus and RV parking at AT&T Stadium is located in Lot 14 and Lot 15 off Randol Mill Road on the east side of the stadium. Oversized parking passes are paid on-site on event days or arranged in advance through the stadium parking office, and tailgating is permitted only in designated perimeter spaces within Lots 14 and 15. Your bus will wait right in the lot during the game so your group can load up and head back to The Colony right after the final whistle.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Expect temporary road closures along portions of Cowboys Way, Collins Street, and Division Street beginning two hours before kickoff and lasting up to an hour after the event ends. When a Texas Rangers game at neighboring Globe Life Field overlaps with an AT&T Stadium event, congestion along Legends Way and Randol Mill Road doubles. Plan to leave The Colony at least 2.5 to 3 hours before kickoff so your group has plenty of time to tailgate and clear security.

American Airlines Center (Home of the Dallas Stars and the Dallas Mavericks)

For NBA and NHL action in Downtown Dallas’s Victory Park, book a bus from The Colony to American Airlines Center at 2500 Victory Ave, Dallas, TX 75219! Your fan group can cheer on the Dallas Mavericks or Dallas Stars without hunting for expensive garage spots.

Major Roadways to American Airlines Center

From The Colony, the most direct route is heading south on the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) or taking SH 121 to I-35E South (Stemmons Freeway), which leads straight into the Victory Park exits. Drivers can also connect via Woodall Rodgers Freeway (Spur 366) and approach the arena using Victory Avenue, Olive Street, or North Houston Street. If you’re traveling for a weekday 7:00 p.m. tip-off or puck drop, add 30 to 45 minutes to your schedule to clear rush-hour slowdowns on I-35E and the DNT.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at American Airlines Center

Charter buses and minibuses use the active loading and unloading zones along Victory Avenue near the Silver Garage or along North Houston Street on the west side of the arena. Because the on-site parking garages have strict height clearances that cannot accommodate full-size motorcoaches or high-roof party buses, all passenger drop-offs happen at surface-level curbs. After the final buzzer, have your group meet outside the North Entrance near AT&T Plaza before walking together to your pre-arranged pickup curb on North Houston Street. Dallas city ordinances prohibit engine idling for more than five minutes, so your group must be ready to board immediately.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at American Airlines Center

Oversized vehicles and motorcoaches park in the designated surface spaces at Lot M or the Inspiration Lot across from Victory Avenue, or stage in pre-arranged overflow surface lots just north of the arena. Please note that American Airlines Center strictly prohibits tailgating across all Victory Park parking lots 24/7.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Dallas Police close sections of Victory Avenue, Olive Street, and North Houston Street to through-traffic roughly 60 minutes before and after games to protect pedestrian flow into AT&T Plaza. Arriving at least 90 minutes before tip-off helps your bus beat the road closures and drop your group right by the doors.

Toyota Stadium (Home of FC Dallas)

Getting to an FC Dallas MLS match or the FCS National Championship is a breeze when you book a bus to Toyota Stadium at 9200 World Cup Way, Frisco, TX 75033! Located just 15 minutes northeast of The Colony, this Frisco venue is practically in your backyard, making it a favorite for youth soccer teams, corporate outings, and birthday party buses. Compare 25-passenger minibuses, party buses, and full-size coaches in seconds right on our website!

Major Roadways to Toyota Stadium

Traveling from The Colony to Toyota Stadium takes just 10 to 20 minutes heading north on the Dallas North Tollway (DNT) to the Main Street or Cotton Gin Road exits in Frisco. Groups can also take Preston Road (SH 289) or Legacy Drive north to Main Street and turn onto World Cup Way or Frisco Street. While the mileage is short, Friday evening and Saturday match traffic along the DNT toll plazas and Main Street can bottleneck quickly. Leaving The Colony an hour before gates open ensures a relaxed arrival.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Toyota Stadium

Groups arriving by charter bus or party bus can unload along World Cup Way near the North Entrance or along Frisco Street on the east side of the stadium, depending on event traffic control. If your group is visiting the National Soccer Hall of Fame inside the stadium complex for a school field trip, drivers can pull directly up to the South Entrance drop-off loop off Main Street. For post-match pickups, coordinate a meetup spot with your driver near the North Concourse or Toyota Xavier Gate so everyone walks to the bus together. Active loading rules apply along Frisco Street and World Cup Way, so keep your group together before calling your driver to the curb.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Toyota Stadium

Toyota Stadium offers expansive surface parking lots that easily accommodate full-size 56-passenger charter buses and minibuses without garage height issues. Oversized vehicles are typically directed to the Red Lot (north of the stadium off Cotton Gin Road) or the Blue Lot (east of Frisco Street), where buses occupy two or more standard spaces. Be sure to confirm Toyota Stadium parking rates and oversized pass requirements ahead of match day.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On FC Dallas match days and major concert nights, Frisco Police restrict through-traffic on World Cup Way and portions of Frisco Street between Main Street and Cotton Gin Road. Post-game traffic exiting onto the Dallas North Tollway southbound ramps moves under police direction, which can temporarily restrict left turns out of stadium lots. Having your whole group aboard one private bus means nobody gets separated in the post-match traffic pattern. Within minutes, you’ll be cruising smoothly back down the DNT toward The Colony.

DATCU Stadium (Home of the North Texas Mean Green)

Keeping alumni groups, college fans, and traveling athletic rosters together is simple when you rent a bus to DATCU Stadium (formerly Apogee Stadium) at 1251 S. Bonnie Brae St, Denton, TX 76207! Cheer on the UNT Mean Green just 25 minutes northwest of The Colony with plenty of undercarriage storage for tailgating tents and coolers. Check out our full range of bus types online to match your group size!

Major Roadways to DATCU Stadium

From The Colony, your driver will take FM 423 North to US-380 West or hop onto SH 121 to I-35E North straight across Lake Lewisville into Denton. DATCU Stadium sits right at the junction of I-35E and I-35W, with direct bus access via South Bonnie Brae Street and Airport Road.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at DATCU Stadium

Charter buses can drop passengers off along South Bonnie Brae Street near Gate 1 and Gate 2 or near the pedestrian bridge connecting the main UNT campus across I-35E. Visiting team buses use the secure service drive on the west side of the stadium off Bonnie Brae Street. After the game, gather your group by the Gate 2 ticket plaza on the east side or at the base of the Mean Green Village tailgating area before heading to your bus. Keeping everyone on a single group text chain makes post-game loading fast and stress-free.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at DATCU Stadium

Oversized vehicle, RV, and charter bus parking at DATCU Stadium is available in the Orange Lot and Blue Lot south of the stadium near Mean Green Village off Bonnie Brae Street and Airport Road. Advance parking permits are recommended through the UNT Athletics Ticket Office for home football Saturdays.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On UNT football Saturdays, Denton Police implement one-way traffic patterns and lane closures along South Bonnie Brae Street and North Texas Boulevard starting three hours before kickoff. Plan to cross the I-35E Lake Lewisville Bridge at least two hours early to avoid weekend bottlenecks between The Colony and Denton.
