A Sports Fan's Travel Guide to Greeley, Colorado

Located in the high plains of Northern Colorado, Greeley is a community defined by its grit, its history, and its passionate love for sports. Whether you are a die-hard fan of the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) Bears, a parent organizing a youth soccer tournament, or a group of friends looking to head down to Denver for a Broncos game without the hassle of driving, Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley is your dedicated transportation partner. We understand that game day is about camaraderie, excitement, and focus—not about circling parking lots or coordinating a dozen different cars.

Navigating Greeley and the surrounding Weld County area can be tricky for large groups, especially during peak seasons or major events like the Stampede. That’s why we have compiled this comprehensive guide for sports fans traveling in and out of our city. With a private charter bus rental, your group stays together, arrives on time, and enjoys the luxury of a professional driver handling the logistics. From the ice rink to the gridiron, here is how to make the most of the sports scene in Greeley.

A few of the companies we’ve worked with

Cheer on the Northern Colorado Bears at Nottingham Field

There is nothing quite like the electric atmosphere of a college football Saturday in Greeley. The University of Northern Colorado Bears call Nottingham Field home, and for locals and alumni, this is the heart of the fall sports season. Located right on the UNC campus, the stadium draws thousands of fans clad in blue and gold. However, game day traffic around 17th Avenue and Reservoir Road can be congested, and finding multiple parking spots for a large group caravan is often a logistical nightmare.

When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley, we streamline the entire tailgate experience. Your bus can navigate directly to the designated oversized vehicle parking areas, allowing your group to unload coolers, tents, and grills with ease. You won’t have to worry about hiking miles from overflow parking; your driver handles the drop-off and parking logistics while you head straight to the Pepsi Fan Fest or your reserved tailgate spot. Inside the stadium, you can enjoy the game knowing your ride home is warm, safe, and waiting for you.

Nottingham Field Address: 17th Ave & Reservoir Rd, Greeley, CO 80631

Ice Hockey Action at the Greeley Ice Haus

For fans of fast-paced action on the ice, the Greeley Ice Haus is a premier destination in downtown Greeley. This beautiful, NHL-sized indoor ice arena hosts everything from local youth hockey tournaments and figure skating competitions to the UNC Bears club hockey games. It is located in the historic downtown district, which is fantastic for pre-game dining but can present challenges for parking large SUVs or vans during peak hours.

Renting a minibus or charter bus for your hockey team or spectator group ensures that everyone arrives at the Ice Haus together. For teams, our buses offer ample undercarriage storage for bulky hockey bags, sticks, and pads, keeping the cabin clutter-free and comfortable for the players. For fans, a bus rental means you can enjoy the game and then immediately head to a team dinner at a nearby downtown restaurant without anyone getting lost or separated. The Ice Haus is a jewel of the city, and arriving by charter bus adds a level of professional convenience to your visit.

The Greeley Stampede: More Than Just a Rodeo

While technically a festival, the Greeley Stampede at Island Grove Regional Park is the Super Bowl of rodeo sports in Northern Colorado. Every summer around the Fourth of July, hundreds of thousands of visitors descend upon Greeley for pro rodeo events, bull riding, demolition derbies, and concerts. The traffic congestion along N 14th Avenue and D Street during the Stampede is legendary, and parking prices can add up quickly for a group traveling in multiple vehicles.

Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley offers the ultimate hack for the Stampede: air-conditioned, stress-free group transport. We can shuttle your group from a hotel or meeting point directly to the Island Grove entrance. After a long day in the summer sun watching the rodeo or enjoying the carnival, there is no greater relief than stepping onto a climate-controlled bus with reclining seats. Whether you are a 4-H club, a corporate group, or a large extended family, a charter bus rental turns the chaotic Stampede commute into a relaxing part of the experience.

Island Grove Regional Park Address: 501 N 14th Ave, Greeley, CO 80631

Youth Sports Tournaments and Travel Teams

Greeley is a hub for youth sports in Northern Colorado, hosting tournaments for soccer, baseball, and softball at venues like the Twin Rivers Community Park and the Greeley Recreation Center. For coaches and parents, the logistics of a travel tournament can be overwhelming. Coordinating carpools, ensuring every child arrives at the field on time, and transporting muddy equipment is a heavy lift.

By booking a sports team charter bus, you simplify the entire weekend. The team travels as a unit, building camaraderie and focus before the game. Coaches can use the onboard PA system to discuss strategy, or players can use the WiFi and power outlets to relax and distract themselves from pre-game jitters. Our buses have massive storage bays perfect for equipment bags, bats, and balls. Plus, safety is our priority; your drivers ensure that your team gets to the fields at Twin Rivers, so parents can focus on cheering from the sidelines.

Twin Rivers Community Park Address: 1501 65th Ave, Greeley, CO 80634

Day Trips to Pro Sports in Denver

One of the best perks of living in or visiting Greeley is its proximity to Denver. We are just an hour’s drive from some of the best professional sports venues in the country. However, the drive down US-85 or I-25 can be stressful, and parking at Empower Field or Coors Field is often expensive and frustrating.

Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley specializes in fan shuttles to the Mile High City. Gather your group of Broncos fans, Avalanche die-hards, or Rockies enthusiasts and rent a private bus for the day. You can start the tailgate the moment you board the bus. We can drop you off within walking distance of Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204), Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205), or Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204). After the game, you don’t have to worry about navigating post-game traffic or selecting a designated driver. Your driver will be waiting to bring you back to Greeley.

Golfing Group Outings in Greeley

For those who prefer their sports a bit quieter, Greeley offers excellent golfing options that are perfect for corporate outings or bachelor parties. Boomerang Links Golf Course and Highland Hills Golf Course provide challenging links with beautiful views of the Rockies. Organizing a golf tournament or a group outing requires moving not just people, but bulky golf bags.

Our charter buses and minibuses are perfect for golf trips. The undercarriage storage provides ample room for clubs, ensuring they aren’t jammed into the trunk of a car. We can shuttle your group from the hotel to the course, and then to a post-round dinner. It adds a level of sophistication and ease to your golf outing that personal vehicles simply cannot match.

Boomerang Links Golf Course Address: 7309 W 4th St, Greeley, CO 80634

Pre-Game and Post-Game Dining Spots

No sports outing is complete without great food and drinks. Greeley has a burgeoning culinary scene that caters perfectly to large groups. After cheering on the Bears or finishing a tournament, you’ll want a place that can handle a crowd.

We recommend having your charter bus drop your group off at WeldWerks Brewing Co. (508 8th Ave, Greeley, CO 80631). Known nationally for their craft beers, it’s a staple of the Greeley community and offers a spacious taproom. For a hearty meal, The Cow Saloon & Eatery (800 9th St, Greeley, CO 80631) offers historic charm and great burgers right in downtown. With a bus rental, you don’t have to worry about parking multiple cars downtown; your driver can drop you at the door and pick you up when you are full and ready to head home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Greeley Sports Transportation

Can we drink alcohol on the bus?

In many cases, yes! Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley generally allows alcohol on board for passengers of legal drinking age (21+). However, this must be discussed and approved at the time of booking. A refundable damage deposit may be required. Please note that for safety reasons, glass bottles are typically prohibited, and the driver always has the final say regarding passenger conduct to ensure comfort. We want you to have fun, but safety is our top priority.

Is there room for tailgating gear?

Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of renting a full-size charter bus is the massive amount of storage space. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays. These are perfect for storing coolers, folding chairs, small grills, tents, and cornhole boards. If you are renting a minibus, storage space may be more limited, so be sure to discuss your equipment needs with your reservation specialist when you call 970-515-3370.

How far in advance should we book?

For sports travel, earlier is always better. If you are planning a trip for a major event like the Greeley Stampede, a Broncos game, or a UNC homecoming game, we recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. These are high-demand times, and availability can become limited. However, we understand that playoffs and tournaments can pop up last minute. We will always do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings, but booking early guarantees the best selection and pricing.

Do you travel outside of Greeley?

Yes, we do! While we are proud to be Greeley’s premier charter bus company, our service area extends throughout Colorado and beyond. We regularly take groups to Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and Boulder. We can also facilitate long-distance trips to neighboring states for away games or tournaments. Whether your destination is 10 miles away or 500 miles away, Charter Bus Rental Company Greeley has you covered.

What happens if the game goes into overtime?

We understand that sports are unpredictable! When you book your bus, you will set a scheduled pickup and drop-off time. However, your drivers are flexible and understand that games can run long due to overtime or weather delays. It is important to communicate with your driver if things are running behind schedule. Please note that significant overages in time may result in additional hourly charges, but we will never leave your group stranded at the stadium.
