Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp at Missouri Western State University
For a few weeks every summer, St. Joseph becomes the center of the NFL universe. Since 2010, the Kansas City Chiefs have held their training camp at Missouri Western State University (MWSU), drawing tens of thousands of fans from across the country. Watching the reigning champions practice up close is a bucket-list experience, but the influx of traffic can make navigation and parking a challenge for large groups.
By booking a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company St. Joseph, your group can bypass the long walks from remote parking lots. We can drop your group off near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the autograph zones or the pro shop. After a long day in the summer sun watching drills at the Mosaic Training Fields, there is nothing better than stepping onto an air-conditioned bus with reclining seats. Whether you are a corporate group hosting a client appreciation outing or a family reunion of Chiefs Kingdom loyalists, a private shuttle ensures you stick together. Plus, our buses have plenty of room for the merchandise and souvenirs you’ll inevitably buy.
St. Joseph Mustangs at Phil Welch Stadium
If you crave the nostalgia of America’s pastime, a trip to Phil Welch Stadium to see the St. Joseph Mustangs is mandatory. The Mustangs are a collegiate summer baseball team in the MINK League, and their games offer a classic, family-friendly atmosphere that feels like a scene from a movie. Built in 1939, Phil Welch Stadium is a historic gem that has hosted baseball legends throughout the decades. Today, it serves as a community hub for summer entertainment.
Group outings to Mustangs games are incredibly popular for local businesses, youth sports teams, and birthday parties. However, organizing a convoy of 20 or 30 people to arrive simultaneously can be difficult. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company St. Joseph solves this instantly. We can transport your little league team directly to the gate for their "field of dreams" experience. With overhead storage for gloves and personal items, the bus stays clutter-free. Enjoy the fireworks, the hot dogs, and the crack of the wood bat, and let the driver handle the ride home after the final out.

Missouri Western State University Griffon Athletics
Beyond the NFL training camp, Missouri Western State University is home to the Griffons, a powerhouse in NCAA Division II athletics. The university boasts top-tier facilities, including Spratt Memorial Stadium for football and the MWSU Fieldhouse for basketball. The energy at a Griffons game is electric, and tailgating is a serious tradition here.
For alumni groups or visiting teams, Charter Bus Rental Company St. Joseph provides the ultimate tailgating solution. Our full-size charter buses come with massive undercarriage storage bays, perfect for hauling tents, coolers, folding chairs, and grills. You can set up your tailgate base of operations right next to your bus. If you are a visiting team traveling to play the Griffons, our buses offer the comfort athletes need to perform at their best. With plenty of legroom and onboard restrooms, players can rest and hydrate on the way to the facility. We serve high school teams and collegiate programs alike, ensuring reliable transportation for the entire season.

Fairview Golf Course & Local Links
St. Joseph offers excellent opportunities for those who prefer to play rather than watch. Fairview Golf Course is a local favorite, offering a challenging yet accessible layout for golfers of all skill levels. For those looking for a more exclusive experience, the St. Joseph Country Club offers a premier course with rolling hills and immaculate greens. Organizing a golf tournament or a corporate scramble? Transportation is often the most overlooked aspect of golf outings.
Fitting four golfers and four sets of clubs into a standard sedan is a tight squeeze; fitting 40 golfers is impossible without a fleet of cars. A charter bus rental is the most efficient way to move your golf group. Our motorcoaches have ample cargo space to safely stack golf bags without risk of damage. Your group can enjoy camaraderie and perhaps a few beverages in the cabin (check with us about our alcohol policy!) while heading to the tee time. We can shuttle your group from the hotel to the course, and then to a post-round dinner, keeping the group cohesive and on schedule.

Bode Ice Arena
Sports in St. Joseph aren't limited to the summer months. The Bode Ice Arena is a cornerstone of the community for winter sports enthusiasts. Home to local hockey leagues, figure skating clubs, and public skating sessions, this facility stays busy year-round. It is a frequent destination for youth hockey teams traveling for tournaments.
Hockey gear is notoriously bulky. Goalie pads, stick bags, and oversized duffels require significant cargo space. Charter Bus Rental Company St. Joseph is the preferred transportation partner for traveling hockey teams because our buses can handle the gear load with ease. Parents and coaches appreciate the safety and reliability of a driver, especially during winter weather conditions. Instead of white-knuckling it through snow or ice in a caravan of minivans, the team can review plays on the onboard TV monitors or relax with Wi-Fi while a driver navigates the roads to the rink.

Easy Access to Kansas City Pro Sports
One of the biggest advantages of St. Joseph is its proximity to Kansas City. Located less than an hour north of the metro, St. Joseph serves as an excellent, affordable base of operations for fans heading to major league games. Whether you are going to Arrowhead Stadium for a Chiefs game, Kauffman Stadium for the Royals, or Children's Mercy Park for Sporting KC, staying in St. Joe and taking a charter bus into the city is a smart play.
By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Rental Company St. Joseph, you avoid the nightmare of stadium parking fees and post-game traffic jams. We can drop your group off near the stadium gates and pick you up at a designated spot once the game ends. This is particularly popular for large groups who want to tailgate together without the hassle of coordinating multiple vehicles. You get the big city sports experience with the convenience and affordability of St. Joseph lodging and transportation.

Sports Bars and Post-Game Dining
No sports trip is complete without great food and a place to discuss the game highlights. St. Joseph has a fantastic culinary scene that caters to large groups. Popular spots like Hi-Ho Bar & Grill offer a classic sports bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs and hearty food. For a local craft beer experience, River Bluff Brewing provides a great setting to unwind after a day at the fields.
When you have a charter bus, you don't have to worry about splitting the check and splitting the group into different cars. We can shuttle your entire party from the stadium to the restaurant safely. If your group wants to indulge in a few victory drinks, having a bus driver means you have a built-in designated driver for everyone. We can create a custom itinerary that includes a pub crawl or a tour of the best local wings and burgers in Buchanan County.
