Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to Cedar City Sports Venues & Arenas
Cedarcity
Eccles Coliseum (Home of the Southern Utah Thunderbirds (football, track and field))
Instead of fighting campus traffic around Southern Utah University on game day, let a private bus bring your whole group straight to Eccles Coliseum! Whether you’re a visiting collegiate athletic department or a fan group cheering on the Thunderbirds, your bus keeps everyone together and on schedule.
Major Roadways to Eccles Coliseum
Drivers heading into Cedar City will take I-15 to Exit 59 (200 North / UT-56) and head east toward campus. From there, University Boulevard, 300 West, and 800 West provide direct access to the southern and western athletic perimeters of the coliseum.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Eccles Coliseum
Your charter bus can drop passengers and team rosters off along the west side of the stadium on 800 West near the main ticket gates, or use the designated turnaround loop off 200 South adjacent to the America First Event Center. Have your group ready to unload quickly, as campus safety restricts curbside idling to 5 minutes. After the final whistle, coordinate with your driver to meet at the same 800 West curb once your entire group is gathered.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Eccles Coliseum
Oversized vehicles cannot park in standard SUU student commuter stalls, so buses are directed to stage and park in the large surface lot at Lot 10 or the perimeter gravel overflow zones west of 800 West. Visiting athletic teams should coordinate ahead of time with SUU Athletics to secure reserved team bus stalls near the south fieldhouse entrance. Parking is generally free on non-event weekdays, while football Saturdays require pre-arranged game-day staging clearance.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
During SUU Homecoming, major track invitationals, and Saturday afternoon football kickoffs, University Boulevard (Center Street) and 300 West experience heavy pedestrian crossings and temporary lane restrictions starting two hours before game time. Traffic also backs up near the I-15 interchange when events overlap with the Utah Shakespeare Festival in the summer and early fall. We recommend scheduling your campus arrival at least 90 minutes before kickoff so your group can breeze through the gates without stress. Book a round-trip or full-day package through our group transportation services so one bus stays with your fans all Saturday!
Allegiant Stadium (Home of the Las Vegas Raiders and the UNLV Rebels)
You can easily take your Cedar City fan group or school band down I-15 South for an unforgettable game day at Allegiant Stadium! Because we offer custom long-distance charter bus rentals, your 2.5-hour ride to Las Vegas flies by with onboard WiFi, reclining seats, and restrooms.
Major Roadways to Allegiant Stadium
Traveling south from Cedar City on I-15, your driver will pass through the Virgin River Gorge and approach the Las Vegas Strip corridor via the Russell Road or Tropicana Avenue exits. Local stadium access runs along Dean Martin Drive, Polaris Avenue, and Hacienda Avenue just west of I-15.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Allegiant Stadium
At Allegiant Stadium, charter buses and private shuttles are strictly prohibited from dropping passengers off along the Mandalay Bay Road bridge or on Russell Road. Instead, pre-arranged buses use the dedicated commercial bus loading and unloading zone in Lot S (located on the southwest corner of the stadium off Diablo Drive and Procyon Street). Drivers may only pause for active unloading and must stay with the motorcoach at all times. After the game, gather your entire group inside the stadium plaza before walking to Lot S so your group can board immediately.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Allegiant Stadium
If your bus is staying on-site during a Raiders or UNLV game, you must pre-purchase an oversized vehicle parking pass for Lot S or Lot Z through the official Allegiant Stadium parking portal well in advance. Tailgating is permitted in designated bus and RV stalls within Lot S, making it the ultimate spot to pre-game with your friends! If Lot S is sold out, your driver will drop you off and relocate to an approved commercial staging yard off-site until the fourth quarter ends.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Three hours prior to kickoff, Las Vegas Metro Police close Hacienda Avenue between Polaris Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard, turning the Hacienda Bridge into a pedestrian-only walkway from Mandalay Bay. Portions of Al Davis Way, Dean Martin Drive, and Polaris Avenue are also restricted to permit holders only. Because I-15 southbound slows to a crawl between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road on NFL Sundays, build an extra 60 minutes of buffer time into your itinerary from Cedar City. After you reserve online, our confirmation department calls to verify your exact departure and stadium arrival window!
T-Mobile Arena (Home of the Vegas Golden Knights)
No need to worry about navigating Las Vegas Strip parking garages when your Cedar City hockey fans ride together to T-Mobile Arena! Located right behind New York-New York and Park MGM, this 20,000-seat venue hosts Vegas Golden Knights NHL games, UFC fights, and championship college basketball tournaments. Renting a 25-passenger minibus or party bus lets your group pre-game on the ride down from Iron County without anyone playing designated driver. Plus, you can compare charter bus prices in under 30 seconds before you book!
Major Roadways to T-Mobile Arena
Your driver will take I-15 South from Cedar City and exit at Tropicana Avenue (Exit 37) or Flamingo Road (Exit 38). From there, Frank Sinatra Drive runs parallel to the freeway and provides direct backstage access to the arena’s commercial lanes without touching the gridlock on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at T-Mobile Arena
Charter buses, minibuses, and limo buses load and unload passengers along Frank Sinatra Drive at the designated commercial curb just west of the Park MGM garage and Toshiba Plaza. Curbside waiting and idling over 5 minutes are strictly enforced by venue security, so your group must be ready to step off as soon as the doors open. For post-game pickup, walk west from Toshiba Plaza back to the Frank Sinatra Drive loading bays once your whole party is accounted for.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at T-Mobile Arena
Because the surrounding New York-New York, Park MGM, and Aria parking garages have vertical height clearances between 6’8” and 7’0”, full-size motorcoaches and high-roof minibuses cannot enter the garages. Instead, your bus will stage off-site at the oversized vehicle lot at Excalibur Hotel & Casino (accessed via Reno Avenue and Koval Lane) or at a commercial staging yard west of I-15 along Valley View Boulevard. Remember that venue bus parking fees are paid separately from your rental quote.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On Golden Knights game nights and major fight weekends, Park Avenue and the roadways leading into Toshiba Plaza close to vehicle traffic two hours before doors open. Plan to arrive along Frank Sinatra Drive at least 90 minutes early to beat the pre-game rush!
Delta Center (Home of the Utah Jazz and the Utah Mammoth)
Whether you’re taking a Cedar City youth basketball team or a corporate group up north to see the NBA’s Utah Jazz or the NHL’s Utah Mammoth, Delta Center is an easy 3.5-hour ride up I-15! Let a driver handle the freeway while your group relaxes in climate-controlled comfort.
Major Roadways to Delta Center
Heading north from Cedar City on I-15, your charter bus will enter downtown Salt Lake City via the 600 South one-way exit ramp. From 600 South, drivers turn north onto 300 West or 400 West to reach the arena perimeter at South Temple and 100 South. For the return trip to Southern Utah, the 400 South entrance ramp leads straight back onto I-15 South.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Delta Center
Charter buses can drop groups off along the designated commercial curb on 300 West between 100 South and South Temple, right across from the main arena plaza and The Gateway shopping district. An alternate unloading zone is available along 100 South on the north side of the building near the Vivint/Delta Center TRAX station. Salt Lake City enforces strict anti-idling ordinances limiting commercial buses to 5 minutes at the curb. After the final buzzer, gather your passengers near the Karl Malone and John Stockton statues at the main entrance before signaling your driver to pull up to 300 West.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Delta Center
The adjacent Park Place lot and Gateway underground garages cannot fit full-size motorcoaches, so charter buses stage in oversized surface lots along 400 West and 500 West between 200 South and North Temple, or near the Utah State Fairpark about 1.5 miles west. Your driver will wait there and pull back to 300 West in under 10 minutes when you text.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Weeknight Jazz and Mammoth games overlap directly with downtown Salt Lake City rush hour and conventions at the nearby Salt Palace Convention Center. Police close portions of 300 West and South Temple to through-traffic 45 minutes before tip-off and for 45 minutes after the game ends to protect pedestrians boarding UTA TRAX light rail trains. Leaving Cedar City at least five hours before a 7:00 p.m. weeknight game ensures you clear Point of the Mountain traffic on I-15 with time to spare. You can book a multi-day package if your group is staying overnight in downtown SLC!
