Valley Children's Stadium (Home of the Fresno State Bulldogs)

Ready to compare buses for a Saturday tailgate with the Red Wave at Valley Children's Stadium?

Major Roadways to Valley Children's Stadium

Your driver can reach the Fresno State campus via CA-168 (exiting at Shaw Avenue or Barstow Avenue) or via CA-41 (exiting at Shaw Avenue or Bullard Avenue). From those exits, buses travel along Cedar Avenue, Barstow Avenue, or Bulldog Lane to reach the athletic complex on the west side of campus. Coming in from Clovis or Madera? Your bus handles all the game-day freeway merges so your whole group arrives together!

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Valley Children's Stadium

Charter buses can drop off and pick up passengers along the north side of East Bulldog Lane between North Cedar Avenue and North Millbrook Avenue, or at designated turnouts near the Red Lot off Barstow Avenue. Because California law limits commercial vehicle idling to five minutes, make sure your entire group is gathered near the Bulldog Shop or the south gates before signaling your driver to pull up after the final whistle. Visiting teams can coordinate direct locker-room access through Fresno State Athletics prior to game day.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Valley Children's Stadium

Oversized vehicles and motorcoaches park in the designated RV and bus areas in the Red Lot (entered via Barstow Avenue and Cedar Avenue) or overflow campus surface lots north of Barstow Avenue. Advance permits are required for football Saturdays, and tailgating is allowed right beside your bus in approved RV spaces!

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On Fresno State football game days, East Bulldog Lane between Cedar Avenue and Chestnut Avenue closes to through traffic several hours before kickoff to create a pedestrian fan zone. Heavy congestion builds along Shaw Avenue, Cedar Avenue, and the CA-41 and CA-168 off-ramps starting three hours prior to kickoff. We recommend scheduling your campus arrival at least two to three hours early so you have plenty of time to tailgate and walk to your gates.

Save Mart Center (Home of the California State University, Fresno)

Make your next Fresno State Bulldogs basketball game, tournament, or arena concert a slam dunk at the Save Mart Center! Located at the southeast corner of campus, this 15,500-seat arena is an easy trip when you rent a 25-passenger minibus or a concert charter bus through our network. Fill out one quick form to get quotes sent straight to your text and email in under 30 seconds!

Major Roadways to Save Mart Center

The fastest route to the Save Mart Center is via the CA-168 Freeway, which runs right past the eastern edge of the arena. Drivers can take the Shaw Avenue exit and head west, or exit at Bullard Avenue and turn south onto Chestnut Avenue or winery Avenue to avoid the worst intersection backups at Shaw. Groups traveling from north Fresno or downtown can also connect smoothly from CA-41 onto Shaw Avenue eastbound. Your driver will monitor live traffic to pick the clearest approach!

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Save Mart Center

Passenger drop-off and pickup take place along the designated loading curb on North Woodrow Avenue on the west side of the arena, or along the north perimeter road entering from Chestnut Avenue near Lot 5. Buses are not permitted to stop or unload in the active traffic lanes on East Shaw Avenue. Have your group meet outside the main northwest plaza entrance at the end of the game so everyone can board within the five-minute loading window. The confirmation team will verify your exact meeting spot before travel day!

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Save Mart Center

On-site charter bus and oversized vehicle parking is available in Lot 5 and Lot 1 just north of the arena off Chestnut Avenue and Matoian Way. Parking fees for buses are paid on arrival or pre-purchased through the Save Mart Center box office.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

During sold-out concerts, graduations, and Bulldogs basketball games, the intersections of Shaw Avenue & Chestnut Avenue and Shaw Avenue & Woodrow Avenue are controlled by campus traffic officers. Left turns into arena lots from Shaw Avenue may be restricted before and after major events. Plan to arrive 60 to 90 minutes before tip-off or showtime to breeze past the rush-hour buildup on CA-168.

Ratcliffe Stadium (Home of the Fresno City College)

Whether you're booking school event bus rentals for a high school football rivalry or bringing a visiting junior college roster to play the Fresno City College Rams, our network has you covered. Compare bus types and prices in under 30 seconds with no account needed!

Major Roadways to Ratcliffe Stadium

Ratcliffe Stadium sits near the central Tower District and is easily reached from CA-41 by taking the McKinley Avenue or Shields Avenue exit and heading west toward Blackstone Avenue. Groups traveling on CA-99 can exit at Clinton Avenue or McKinley Avenue and head east toward the campus. From those main corridors, drivers use North Maroa Avenue, East Weldon Avenue, or North College Avenue to approach the stadium gates. Keep in mind that buses must avoid the low railroad underpass on McKinley Avenue just west of Blackstone Avenue and use Weldon Avenue or Clinton Avenue instead!

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Ratcliffe Stadium

For quick unloading, charter buses pull up along the east side of North Blackstone Avenue near the historic front arches, or use the quieter drop-off zone on East University Avenue and North College Avenue at the north end of the stadium. Visiting athletic teams and marching bands typically unload gear along University Avenue near the fieldhouse gates. Because surrounding streets are lined with residential homes and campus buildings, drivers must keep traffic lanes clear and limit active loading to five minutes. Set a clear post-game meetup spot by the Blackstone Avenue ticket booths so your group loads up fast!

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Ratcliffe Stadium

Fresno City College campus lots have tight turns and solar canopy height clearances, so full-size motorcoaches should only park in designated surface stalls in Parking Lot P or Lot A off Weldon Avenue and College Avenue when coordinated with District Police. On Friday nights and Saturdays, visiting team buses are usually directed to stage along the perimeter of University Avenue or in reserved west-side stadium spaces. If campus lots are full during major track meets or playoff games, drivers can stage off-site and return on your text. Always confirm your bus permit with the FCC Athletic Department ahead of your trip!

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Because Ratcliffe Stadium is tucked between the busy Blackstone Avenue retail corridor and historic neighborhoods, Friday night rush hour and pre-game traffic often overlap between 4:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Temporary barricades may close portions of University Avenue and College Avenue to general vehicles during large track invitational meets and high school championship games. Leaving 30 minutes of extra buffer time ensures your players and fans step off the bus relaxed and on schedule.

Chukchansi Park (Home of the Fresno Grizzlies)

Keep your whole group together for nine innings of fun at Chukchansi Park! Whether you're organizing a corporate outing, a Little League team night, or a birthday party in a 20-passenger minibus or party bus to cheer on the Fresno Grizzlies or Fuego FC, we make booking fast and easy. See live availability and group transportation packages online in under 30 seconds!

Major Roadways to Chukchansi Park

Located right in the heart of Downtown Fresno, Chukchansi Park is surrounded by three major freeways: CA-99 to the west, CA-41 to the east, and CA-180 to the north. From CA-99, your driver can take the Fresno Street or Ventura Street exit and head east into downtown. From CA-41, take the Tulare Street or Van Ness Avenue exit and head west toward the ballpark. Main downtown surface streets like H Street, Broadway Street, Tulare Street, and Inyo Street lead straight to the stadium gates.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Chukchansi Park

Your charter bus or party bus can drop passengers off curbside along H Street near the main home-plate gate at Tulare Street, or along Inyo Street on the south side of the ballpark near the right-field entrance. Both spots put your group just steps from the ticket windows without hiking across several downtown blocks! Because Downtown Fresno enforces strict no-idling and commercial curb rules, your bus will pull out after unloading and return once everyone is gathered after the final out. The Grizzlies team store plaza at H Street and Tulare Street makes an easy, well-lit meeting point for pickup.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Chukchansi Park

Downtown parking garages like the Spiral Garage have low vertical clearances that cannot fit motorcoaches, so charter buses park in open-air surface lots such as Lot 2 or Lot 4 south of Inyo Street and along H Street. Drivers can also stage near the Fresno Convention & Entertainment Center surface lots a few blocks east.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On Grizzlies Friday night fireworks games, Tacos & Tequila festivals, and downtown concert nights, portions of Tulare Street and H Street immediately bordering the stadium close to vehicle traffic two hours before gates open. Beat the weekday downtown commuter rush by scheduling your drop-off at least 60 minutes before first pitch!

Selland Arena (Home of the Fresno Monsters)

Use our 30-second online quote tool to find the right ride to Selland Arena for Fresno Monsters hockey games, wrestling tournaments, and major arena shows! Compare sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses, and full-size charter buses from independent providers competing for your trip, with no account needed.

Major Roadways to Selland Arena

Part of the downtown Fresno Convention & Entertainment Center complex, Selland Arena is just minutes off CA-41 (exit at O Street / Van Ness Avenue or Tulare Street) and CA-99 (exit at Ventura Street or Fresno Street). Drivers typically use M Street, O Street, Inyo Street, and Ventura Street to navigate around the convention center campus. Whether your fans are riding in from Visalia, Merced, or across town, your driver handles the downtown one-way grid with ease.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Selland Arena

Charter buses load and unload passengers in the designated curb zone along M Street between Inyo Street and Ventura Street, right in front of the main Selland Arena plaza, or along the north side on Inyo Street. Have your group ready to step off together so your driver stays within the five-minute active loading limit!

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Selland Arena

While the multi-story convention center garage has a 7-foot height restriction, oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is available in the large open-air surface lot on the south side of the arena off Ventura Street and M Street (or nearby surface lots at O Street and Butler Avenue). Bus parking passes can be arranged through ASM Global / Fresno Convention Center parking management or paid on arrival at the surface lot kiosk. Your driver can wait right in the surface lot during the game or stage nearby until your group texts that you're walking out of the concourse. When you book private event bus rentals on our site, our confirmation department verifies all staging details ahead of time!

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Traffic around M Street, O Street, and Ventura Street gets especially busy when events at Selland Arena overlap with shows at the adjacent William Saroyan Theatre, Valdez Hall, or Chukchansi Park four blocks away. Police often direct post-event traffic into dedicated outbound lanes toward CA-41, which can temporarily restrict left turns onto M Street. Arriving an hour before the puck drops keeps your whole group ahead of the crowd!

Quick Tips for Fresno, California Game-Day Charter Bus Groups

Need a smooth game day from the first pickup to the final buzzer? Remember that California law limits commercial bus idling to five minutes, summer temperatures in the Central Valley regularly top 100°F (making an air-conditioned charter bus or party bus a must!), and booking one to three months early locks in the best selection for peak Fresno State football weekends and CIF playoff tournaments!
