American Family Field (Home of the Milwaukee Brewers)
With Charter
Major Roadways to American Family Field
Charter buses typically reach the ballpark via I-94 East/West and Brewers Boulevard (Miller Park Way / WI-175), which feed directly into the stadium's main entrances. Drivers can also use US-41, National Avenue, or Bluemound Road to bypass highway bottlenecks near the Menomonee Valley.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at American Family Field
Groups only needing a quick drop-off and pickup can use the designated staging zone north of I-94 along Valley View Road near the paths leading to Home Plate. Have everyone gathered and ready to board after the final out, as Wisconsin commercial rules and stadium traffic staff prohibit extended curbside idling.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at American Family Field
If your bus is staying for the game and tailgating with your group, oversized vehicles park in the dedicated Bus & RV Lot (Uecker Lot) on the east side of the ballpark off Brewers Boulevard. Advance bus parking passes are strongly recommended and can be arranged through the Brewers' parking office before game day. Tailgating is permitted right next to your charter bus or party bus inside the Uecker Lot!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Parking lots open three hours before first pitch (three and a half hours on Saturdays and Sundays), and the I-94 exits at Brewers Boulevard back up heavily 90 minutes prior to game time. Post-game traffic is directed onto one-way outbound lanes by Milwaukee Police, so plan a clear meetup spot near the Home Plate Plaza or Uecker Lot.
Fiserv Forum (Home of the Milwaukee Bucks)
Fill out one form on Charter
Major Roadways to Fiserv Forum
Your driver can approach Downtown Milwaukee via I-43 or I-94 into the Marquette Interchange, exiting onto I-794 or McKinley Avenue (Exit 71C) for direct access to the arena district. Fond du Lac Avenue (WI-145) and 6th Street also serve as primary north-south surface corridors feeding the Deer District. Because the 5th Street and Highland Structure garages have strict height clearances under 7 feet, motorcoaches must stick to surface streets. Our confirmation department verifies your exact route after you book online!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Fiserv Forum
Charter buses load and unload passengers along the north side of W. Juneau Avenue between N. 6th Street and Vel R. Phillips Avenue, just steps from the main Deer District plaza and Potawatomi Gate. Active loading is strictly enforced with a 5-minute idling limit, so keep your group together inside the atrium until your driver pulls up to the curb. After the buzzer, meet at the 6th and Juneau corner for a smooth group pickup.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Fiserv Forum
Fiserv Forum's attached parking structures cannot accommodate high-roof minibuses, party buses, or full-size motorcoaches due to vertical height limits. Instead, drivers relocate after drop-off to oversized surface lots near the MacArthur Square / Baird Center marshalling area or pre-arranged commercial surface lots along N. 6th Street and W. State Street. If your group is staying at a downtown hotel, your bus can also stage back at the hotel lot during the game. Need a quick transfer without paying for idle hours? Ask the 24/7 support team about split-time or one-way packages!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On Bucks game days and major Milwaukee concert nights, Vel R. Phillips Avenue (4th Street) and Old World Third Street around the Deer District are closed to vehicle traffic entirely. Rush hour congestion on I-94 and I-43 between 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. frequently overlaps with tip-off arrivals. Build an extra 30 to 45 minutes into your schedule so your group has plenty of time to clear security and grab food in the plaza. Milwaukee Police direct post-game traffic out toward 6th Street and McKinley Avenue.
Camp Randall Stadium (Home of the Wisconsin Badgers)
You can easily book a long-distance charter bus from Milwaukee to Madison for Big Ten Saturdays at Camp Randall Stadium! Located about 80 miles west of Milwaukee across our Wisconsin service area, Camp Randall draws over 76,000 Wisconsin Badgers fans into a tight campus neighborhood where personal car parking is nearly impossible. Because Charter
Major Roadways to Camp Randall Stadium
Traveling from Milwaukee, your charter bus will take I-94 West to US-12/US-18 West (W. Beltline Highway) before turning north onto Park Street or Midvale Boulevard. From the Beltline, drivers follow Regent Street, Monroe Street, or University Avenue toward the UW–Madison campus perimeter. Expect heavy westbound slowdowns on I-94 starting three hours before kickoff.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Camp Randall Stadium
Curbside unloading is tightly regulated by UW Police on football Saturdays, with most unpermitted charter buses dropping passengers along designated stretches of Monroe Street or Observatory Drive just outside the stadium roadblocks. Have your fans step off promptly with their clear stadium bags so your driver can clear the active traffic lane. Coordinate a post-game meeting landmark like the Camp Randall Memorial Arch on Randall Avenue before calling your driver in.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Camp Randall Stadium
On-campus oversized vehicle parking requires a pre-purchased UW Athletics Bus Permit for designated surface areas such as Lot 60 (Observatory Drive) or Lot 16 near the Field House. Because campus bus stalls sell out months in advance, many Milwaukee charter buses drop fans near Monroe Street and stage off-site near the Alliant Energy Center off John Nolen Drive. Visiting athletic teams and marching bands coordinate directly with UW Event Management for inner-perimeter bus access. Always factor stadium bus permit fees into your group trip budget!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Starting two hours before kickoff, Breese Terrace, Randall Avenue, and sections of Monroe Street and Regent Street close to non-permitted vehicles and convert to pedestrian-only zones. Immediately after the 4th quarter, streets surrounding the stadium switch to one-way outbound traffic patterns. Plan to depart Milwaukee at least 3.5 to 4 hours before kickoff so your tailgate never feels rushed!
UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena (Home of the Milwaukee Wave)
Because Charter
Major Roadways to UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena
Situated right in the heart of the convention and sports corridor, UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena is easily reached via I-94 / I-43 using the Kilbourn Avenue or State Street downtown exits. Coming from the lakefront or the Third Ward, drivers can take I-794 to Plankinton Avenue or Vel R. Phillips Avenue. N. 6th Street and W. Wells Street provide straightforward surface routing around the Baird Center and Miller High Life Theatre. Your driver will monitor live downtown traffic to pick the clearest approach.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena
Charter buses can drop off and pick up groups curbside along W. Kilbourn Avenue directly outside the main south entrance or along W. State Street on the north side of the arena. If a major convention is happening next door at the Baird Center, event staff may direct buses to load along N. 6th Street to keep the Kilbourn tunnel lanes clear. Make sure your entire roster is assembled inside the main lobby doors before texting your driver to pull up. That way, everyone hops aboard within Milwaukee's 5-minute active loading window!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena
Because the surrounding MacArthur Square underground garage and nearby ramps cannot clear full-size motorcoaches, charter buses stage at oversized surface lots west of N. 6th Street or along designated commercial zones near St. Paul Avenue in the Menomonee Valley. Groups booking a quick private event shuttle from a suburban park-and-ride can also request one-way drop-off and pickup transfers.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Because UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena sits just one block south of Fiserv Forum and directly across from the Baird Center, dual-event nights create heavy congestion along Kilbourn Avenue, State Street, and 6th Street. When a Bucks game and an Admirals or Wave match overlap, Vel R. Phillips Avenue closures push additional traffic onto 6th Street. We recommend arriving at least 60 to 90 minutes before puck drop or kickoff. After the game, walking one block west to 6th and State Street can save your bus 20 minutes of post-event gridlock!
Horlick Field (Home of the Racine Raiders)
With Charter
Major Roadways to Horlick Field
From Milwaukee, charter buses head south on I-94 East/South and take WI-20 East (Washington Avenue) or WI-100 / Ryan Road to WI-32 South (Douglas Avenue) into Racine. From Douglas Avenue, High Street or Goold Street connects directly to N. Memorial Drive and the stadium gates.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Horlick Field
Buses can pull up curbside along N. Memorial Drive or High Street right outside the main stadium gates for fast team and fan unloading. Because Horlick Field sits in a residential neighborhood beside the Root River, drivers must avoid blocking residential driveways and keep engine idling under 5 minutes.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Horlick Field
A surface parking lot sits directly adjacent to the stadium off N. Memorial Drive and ert Street, where team buses can park if coordinated in advance with Racine Parks or Raiders game-day staff. If the small stadium lot fills up during Saturday night games, buses stage at nearby commercial lots along Rapids Drive or Douglas Avenue (WI-32).
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Unlike downtown Milwaukee arenas, Horlick Field has minimal highway congestion, though N. Memorial Drive and High Street tighten up with pedestrian foot traffic 45 minutes before Racine Raiders kickoffs. Street parking in the surrounding neighborhood fills quickly, making a single group shuttle the easiest way to get fans to the bleachers. Coordinate your post-game pickup outside the Memorial Drive main gate once the whole group is ready to roll back to Milwaukee!
Quick Tips for Milwaukee, Wisconsin Game-Day Charter Bus Groups
Check out these quick game-day tips to keep your Milwaukee group transportation running right on schedule! Always gather your entire group and all tailgating gear before calling your driver to the pickup curb, since Milwaukee venues strictly enforce 5-minute commercial idling limits and prohibit buses from circling arena loops. Finally, remember to budget separately for stadium bus parking passes (such as the Uecker Lot at American Family Field) and lock in your bus early for peak Packers, Brewers, Bucks, and Badgers dates!
