Experience the Sea of Red at Memorial Stadium
There is no experience quite like a Saturday in Lincoln when the Nebraska Cornhuskers are playing at home. Memorial Stadium (One Memorial Stadium Drive, Lincoln, NE 68588) transforms into the "third-largest city in Nebraska" on game days, packing in nearly 90,000 screaming fans. The energy is palpable, but so is the traffic. Between the congestion on I-180 and the gridlock surrounding the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, driving multiple cars to the stadium can be a logistical nightmare.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln, you bypass the stress of coordinating a convoy. We can arrange for your driver to drop your group off as close to the stadium as security protocols allow, saving your legs for the walk to your seats rather than hiking miles from a remote parking spot. After the game, while thousands of cars are stuck in the parking lot bottlenecks, your group can be relaxing in climate-controlled comfort, rewatching game highlights on our onboard flat-screen TVs via WiFi, and enjoying a comfortable ride to your post-game dinner or hotel. Whether you are bringing a group from Omaha, Grand Island, or out of state, a private motorcoach ensures the "Sea of Red" stays together.
Catching Court Action at Pinnacle Bank Arena and Bob Devaney Sports Center
Lincoln isn't just a football town. The passion for volleyball and basketball here is unmatched. The Nebraska women's volleyball team is a dynasty, often selling out the Bob Devaney Sports Center (1600 Court St, Lincoln, NE 68508). Meanwhile, Nebrasketball draws massive crowds to the state-of-the-art Pinnacle Bank Arena (400 Pinnacle Arena Dr, Lincoln, NE 68508) located in the vibrant West Haymarket District. For visiting teams, high school tournaments, or fan clubs, these venues are must-visit destinations.
Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln specializes in transporting athletic teams and spectators alike to these high-energy venues. For teams, our full-size charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for gear bags, uniforms, and coolers, keeping the aisleways clear for athletes to stretch out and mentally prepare. For fan groups heading to "The Vault" (Pinnacle Bank Arena), a private bus rental eliminates the hassle of navigating downtown parking garages. Your driver can drop you off near the Railyard, allowing you to grab a pre-game meal at Lazlo's Brewery & Grill or LeadBelly before heading into the arena. Whether it’s a frigid winter basketball game or a humid early-season volleyball match, our buses ensure you arrive in perfect comfort.
Minor League Fun at Haymarket Park
If you are looking for a relaxed, family-friendly sports outing, nothing beats a Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game at Haymarket Park (403 Line Drive Cir, Lincoln, NE 68508). This beautiful ballpark, shared with the Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball team, offers a classic American pastime experience with a stunning view of the Lincoln skyline. It is a popular destination for corporate outings, family reunions, and summer camp field trips.
Rent a minibus or charter bus for your group outing to the Saltdogs, and you turn a simple baseball game into a memorable event. Forget trying to meet up at the front gate or worrying about who has the tickets. With a private bus, everyone arrives together. Our buses are perfect for summer outings, featuring powerful air-conditioning to keep you cool before and after the game. Plus, with overhead storage for souvenirs and gloves, you can keep your personal items secure while you enjoy a hot dog and the game. After the final out, your driver will be waiting to transport your group safely home or to a local creamery for a post-game treat.
The Ultimate Tailgating Experience
In Nebraska, tailgating is an art form. It’s not just about the game; it’s about the food, the friends, and the atmosphere before the kickoff. However, hauling grills, coolers, tents, and chairs in separate sedans is a hassle. This is where a charter bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln becomes a game-changer. Our full-size motorcoaches come equipped with massive undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for storing all your tailgating essentials.
Imagine loading up your bus with all your gear, hopping on board with your friends, and starting the party the moment the wheels turn. You can utilize the onboard PA system to get the chants started, play pump-up music through the sound system, and enjoy the ride to your designated tailgating lot. Once you arrive, your driver handles the parking while you set up camp. When the game is over, there is no need to pack everything into a cramped trunk; just stow it back under the bus and relax in a reclining seat. Please note that while we encourage fun, if you plan to consume alcohol on board, be sure to let our reservation specialists know in advance so we can ensure compliance with local laws and policies.
Championship Transportation for Youth and High School Sports
Lincoln is the hub for the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) state championships. From football finals at Memorial Stadium to basketball at Pinnacle Bank Arena and volleyball at the Devaney Center, teams from across the state flock to Lincoln to compete for glory. Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln is proud to support these young athletes with safe, reliable, and professional transportation.
We know that coaches and school administrators have enough on their plates during tournament time without worrying about transportation logistics. Our charter buses provide a comfortable environment for students, with drivers who prioritize comfort above all else. With features like onboard restrooms (on 56-passenger models) to minimize pit stops and WiFi to keep students occupied, the journey to Lincoln becomes a breeze. Whether you are bringing the varsity team, the marching band, or the cheerleading squad, we have the capacity to move your entire school's delegation. We can also arrange shuttle services between your hotel, the competition venue, and local dining spots to keep your itinerary running like clockwork.
Post-Game Entertainment in the Historic Haymarket District
The game might end at the final whistle, but the fun in Lincoln certainly doesn't have to. The Historic Haymarket District is the heartbeat of Lincoln’s nightlife and dining scene, located just steps from Pinnacle Bank Arena and a short walk from Memorial Stadium. With brick streets, restored warehouses, and an abundance of restaurants and bars, it is the perfect place to celebrate a win or analyze the game.
A private bus rental gives you the flexibility to enjoy the Haymarket without the worry of parking availability or time limits. Your driver can drop your group off at a convenient location, allowing you to explore spots like The Oven for Indian cuisine, Buzzard Billy's for Cajun eats, or Misty's Steakhouse for a classic Nebraska beef experience. If you are on a brewery tour or pub crawl, having a dedicated charter bus means you have a built-in designated driver for the entire evening. We can shuttle your group between the Haymarket, the Railyard, and O Street bars, ensuring everyone gets back to their hotel or home safely at the end of the night.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lincoln Sports Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus for a sporting event in Lincoln?
The cost of a charter bus rental depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of the trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. For example, a rental during a home football Saturday in the fall may be priced differently than a midweek basketball game in February due to demand. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our team at 531-316-7120. We can provide you with a free, personalized quote in minutes based on your specific itinerary.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus?
Yes, you are generally welcome to bring food and drinks on board our buses! It is perfect for getting the tailgate started early. We just ask that you avoid glass containers for safety reasons and try to keep the bus tidy. Note that cleaning fees may apply if there are major spills or messes left behind.
Is there storage space for our tailgating gear and sports equipment?
Absolutely! Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays. These are large enough to hold coolers, folding chairs, small tents, sports duffel bags, and other equipment. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items like backpacks and jackets. If you are renting a minibus, storage space may be more limited, so be sure to discuss your equipment needs with our reservation team so we can match you with the right vehicle.
Where do charter buses park at Memorial Stadium?
Parking for charter buses at Memorial Stadium and other University of Nebraska venues is typically designated in specific lots and often requires a pre-purchased permit, especially on game days. While Charter Bus Rental Company Lincoln handles the driving, the parking permits are usually the responsibility of the group renting the bus. We recommend checking the official Huskers website for the most up-to-date parking maps and permit purchasing information. The drivers can navigate Lincoln on game days and can drop your group off at designated zones before heading to the parking area.
How far in advance should we book our bus for a Huskers game?
For major events like Nebraska football games, demand for charter buses is incredibly high. We strongly recommend booking your bus as soon as the schedule is released or at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Booking early ensures you have the widest selection of vehicles to choose from and helps you lock in the best possible rate. However, if you have a last-minute need, don't hesitate to call us at 531-316-7120—we will do our absolute best to accommodate your group!
