Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to Sahuarita Sports Venues & Arenas
With Sahuarita
Arizona Stadium (Home of the Arizona Wildcats)
It’s easier than ever to bring a huge crowd of Wildcats fans up from Sahuarita to Arizona Stadium! Skip the packed campus garages and ride together in a climate-controlled bus with reclining seats, WiFi, and plenty of room for tailgating coolers.
Major Roadways to Arizona Stadium
Your driver will head north from Sahuarita along I-19 North before merging onto I-10 West toward downtown Tucson. From there, take Exit 259 for Kino Parkway or 6th Street to approach the University of Arizona campus from the south or west.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Arizona Stadium
Charter buses can drop off and pick up passengers along the designated curb zones on East 6th Street between Campbell Avenue and National Championship Drive, just south of the stadium gates. Because university police strictly monitor game-day traffic, only active loading and unloading are permitted at the curb. Make sure your entire fan group is gathered together after the fourth quarter before signaling your driver to pull up! Once you book online, a confirmation team will verify your exact game-day meeting spot.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Arizona Stadium
Full-size motorcoaches and minibuses cannot enter standard campus parking garages like the Cherry Avenue Garage due to strict 7’0” to 8’2” height clearances. Instead, oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is designated in surface lots south of 6th Street or in pre-arranged commercial staging areas off Kino Parkway. Permits for Wildcats football games sell out fast, so coordinate your bus parking pass well in advance through UArizona Parking & Transportation Services. Your driver can also stage off-campus and return to 6th Street when your group is ready to board.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On Wildcats football Saturdays, National Championship Drive, Enke Drive, and portions of Cherry Avenue close to regular traffic several hours before kickoff. Heavy congestion builds quickly on I-19 North, I-10, Speedway Boulevard, and 6th Street starting three hours prior to game time. Plan to depart Sahuarita at least two to three hours before kickoff so your group has plenty of time to unload and visit the Bear Down tailgate zones. Post-game traffic is directed outward by Tucson Police to keep campus intersections moving.
McKale Center (Home of the Arizona Wildcats)
With Sahuarita
Major Roadways to McKale Center
Groups traveling from Sahuarita will take I-19 North to I-10 West and exit at Kino Parkway North (Exit 260), which turns directly into Campbell Avenue as you approach the university. You can also take Broadway Boulevard or 6th Street eastbound from Downtown Tucson straight toward the athletic district. Using Campbell Avenue gives oversized buses the widest turning radius into the arena loop.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at McKale Center
Visiting teams and private fan charters typically unload along East Enke Drive just north of 6th Street, or at the designated loading turnaround near the Campbell Avenue entrance. Curbside idling is limited to five minutes, so have your group ready to step off together right away.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at McKale Center
The adjacent Cherry Avenue Garage and South Stadium Garage cannot accommodate full-size charter buses, party buses, or high-roof sprinter vans. Oversized vehicles are directed to surface lots south of East 6th Street between Highland Avenue and Campbell Avenue, or to off-site commercial staging lots along Kino Parkway. If you are bringing a high school group on a school event charter bus for a campus tour and game, be sure to reserve oversized surface lot space ahead of time. Otherwise, your driver can wait at a nearby commercial lot and loop back to Enke Drive after the final buzzer.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
During sold-out Pac-12 and Big 12 matchups, Enke Drive between Cherry Avenue and Campbell Avenue is restricted to permit holders and official drop-off vehicles two hours before tip-off. Weeknight games overlap with rush hour on I-19, I-10, and Campbell Avenue, so pad your Sahuarita pickup time by at least 45 minutes. Expect traffic officers to direct post-game vehicles south onto Campbell Avenue toward Kino Parkway and I-10.
Veterans Memorial Stadium (Home of the Arizona Diamondbacks)
Finding group transportation to Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium—the former Arizona Diamondbacks spring training and minor league hub—is simple! Rent a minibus or full-size coach for tournaments, soccer matches, and baseball showcases.
Major Roadways to Veterans Memorial Stadium
Located at the massive Kino Sports Complex, the stadium sits just 20 minutes north of Sahuarita via I-19 North to I-10 East. Take Exit 262 for Park Avenue / Benson Highway or Exit 263 for Kino Parkway North right onto East Ajo Way.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Veterans Memorial Stadium
Charter buses enter the South Complex off East Ajo Way or Forgeus Avenue and use the wide front plaza loop directly outside the main stadium gates for passenger drop-off and pickup. Because Kino Sports Complex is designed for major athletic tournaments and concerts, the surface roadways easily fit 56-passenger motorcoaches without tight downtown turns. Have your athletes grab their gear from the undercarriage bays quickly so the loading lane stays clear for other teams. After the final out, meet your driver at that same main gate plaza near the ticket booths!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Veterans Memorial Stadium
Unlike cramped downtown garages, Kino Veterans Memorial Stadium features expansive paved surface lots right outside the stadium off East Ajo Way and Kino Parkway with dedicated spaces for charter buses and team vans! Parking is generally free for standard youth tournaments and amateur sporting events, though special ticketed events and concerts may charge an oversized vehicle fee at the gate. Your bus can stay parked on-site for the entire game, making it easy for players or fans to return to the vehicle if needed.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Traffic backs up at the Kino Parkway and Ajo Way intersection and along the I-10 off-ramps about 60 minutes before major soccer matches, graduations, or multi-field baseball tournaments. Arriving 60 to 90 minutes early ensures smooth entry into the main surface lots before traffic control cones off secondary lanes.
Hi Corbett Field (Home of the Arizona Wildcats)
Why split your baseball fans into a caravan of cars when one private bus can take everyone from Sahuarita to historic Hi Corbett Field? Compare vehicles and group transportation services online in under 30 seconds!
Major Roadways to Hi Corbett Field
Situated inside Reid Park in Midtown Tucson, Hi Corbett Field is easily reached from Sahuarita by taking I-19 North to I-10 East, exiting at Kino Parkway North, and turning east onto East Broadway Boulevard or East 22nd Street. From Country Club Road or Alvernon Way, your driver will turn onto Randolph Way to access the ballpark perimeter. Sticking to major arteries like Broadway and 22nd Street keeps your bus out of narrow Midtown residential streets.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Hi Corbett Field
Your charter bus can pull into the main entrance off South Randolph Way (via East Broadway Boulevard) to unload passengers near the west gate and main box office plaza. Active loading and unloading only take a few minutes, keeping your group steps from the admission gates without a long hike across Reid Park. Coordinate a post-game meetup spot near the Frank Sancet statue outside the main entrance so everyone boards together.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Hi Corbett Field
Hi Corbett Field shares open-air surface parking lots with Reid Park, the Reid Park Zoo, and the Randolph Golf Complex, meaning there are no garage height restrictions to worry about! Charter buses and team motorcoaches typically park in the large paved surface lot west of the ballpark off South Randolph Way or in overflow surface areas near East Camino Campestre and Country Club Road. On busy weekend series when lots fill up fast, your driver can also drop your group at the gate and stage at a nearby commercial lot along Broadway Boulevard. Be sure to mention if you need a full-day package so your bus stays on call through extra innings!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Because South Randolph Way is a two-lane park road shared with golfers and zoo visitors, bottlenecks happen fast during Friday night and weekend Wildcats baseball games. Afternoon games that overlap with events at the Reid Park Zoo or concerts at the DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center can also slow down turns off Broadway Boulevard and 22nd Street. Plan to arrive 60 to 90 minutes before first pitch for the easiest drop-off and lot access.
