Major Roadways to Parkview Field

Getting your baseball fans into downtown Fort Wayne is simple when your driver navigates the main regional corridors. Groups traveling from north or south of the city typically take I-69 to Exit 309B (US-30 / Goshen Ave) or Exit 302 (Jefferson Blvd / US-24 East) straight into the downtown grid. From there, West Jefferson Boulevard and Harrison Street border the ballpark's northern and eastern gates. Your driver can also use Ewing Street or Brackenridge Street for smooth approach routes around the stadium.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Parkview Field

Charter buses can drop off and pick up TinCaps fans curbside along Ewing Street near the West Gate or along Brackenridge Street near the South Gate. Have your entire group gathered outside the gates before calling your driver back to the curb, as downtown Fort Wayne enforces strict 5-minute active loading limits.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Parkview Field

Because the nearby Harrison Square Garage and Civic Center garages have height clearance limits that exclude full-size motorcoaches, charter buses cannot park inside downtown decks. Instead, your bus can park in designated oversized surface spaces at the Silver Lot (located just south of the ballpark off Brackenridge Street and Baker Street) or stage at nearby commercial surface lots downtown.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On TinCaps game days and during major downtown concerts, portions of Ewing Street between Jefferson Boulevard and Brackenridge Street—as well as Brackenridge Street along the southern edge of the stadium—close to through traffic two hours before first pitch. Traffic backs up quickly along West Jefferson Boulevard and Calhoun Street during weekday evening rush hours. Plan to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes early so your group can unload stress-free!

Major Roadways to Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

The Coliseum sits just northeast of downtown at one of the busiest intersections in Allen County. Out-of-town teams and fan groups arriving via I-69 should take Exit 311B to merge onto IN-930 West / East Coliseum Boulevard, which leads directly to the arena complex. Groups coming from downtown Fort Wayne can head north on Clinton Street (US-27) or Parnell Avenue to reach the venue entrances. During peak hockey nights, using the Coldwater Road approach helps bypass bottlenecks at the main Coliseum Boulevard intersection.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

When arriving at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, charter buses and party buses should enter through the main toll plazas off Parnell Avenue or Coliseum Boulevard. Your driver can pull up to the designated passenger drop-off circle outside the Arena & Expo Center Main Entrance on the south side of the building. After the final buzzer, gather your group near the ticket office rotunda before texting your driver to pull up. Active loading only is permitted along the front curb so traffic keeps moving smoothly.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Allen County War Memorial Coliseum

The Coliseum features one of the largest single-level surface parking lots in Indiana, with dedicated oversized vehicle and charter bus parking spaces available on-site for a standard event fee (typically $16 for buses and RVs). Parking attendants at the Parnell Avenue gate will direct your driver to the designated bus rows in the outer Main Lot or the North Lot, where your vehicle can wait for the duration of the game.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

While streets rarely close completely around the venue, heavy event traffic regularly gridlocks East Coliseum Boulevard (IN-930) between Coldwater Road and Crescent Avenue during Komets games, trade shows, and graduations. Left turns onto Parnell Avenue are often restricted by Fort Wayne Police Department traffic officers after major events to speed up lot clearing. We recommend arriving at least 90 minutes before puck drop so your group avoids the toll booth backups. If you need a quick one-way drop-off without paying a 2-hour windows, call the team at (260) 240-2500 for a below-minimum phone deal!

From I-70 West, your driver can take Exit 79A (West Street) or Exit 79B (Illinois Street / McCarty Street) to reach the stadium district. Local connectors like South Street, West Street, and Kentucky Avenue feed directly into the stadium's surrounding loading zones.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Lucas Oil Stadium

Charter buses can unload passengers along South Capitol Avenue near the East Gate or along Missouri Street on the west side of the stadium prior to road closures. If your group is arriving closer to kickoff once the immediate stadium perimeter is closed, your driver can use the commercial loading zones along South Street or near the Indiana Convention Center on Maryland Street. Make sure everyone in your group meets at a pre-set landmark—like the Peyton Manning statue outside the North Gate—before walking to your pickup spot. Curbside waiting is prohibited by Indianapolis Metro Police, so your bus can only pull up once everyone is present.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Lucas Oil Stadium

On-site oversized parking in the stadium's South Lot is extremely limited and typically requires advance passes for RV and bus spaces. Most charter buses park and stage just blocks away at the Indianapolis Zoo oversized lot or in designated commercial surface lots south of McCarty Street and along Merrill Street. Tailgating is permitted in designated surface lots, making a full-size charter bus or party bus the ultimate home base before kickoff! Remember that stadium parking fees are separate from your bus quote, so coordinate your pass ahead of time.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Starting three hours before Colts kickoff and major concerts, the city closes South Street between Missouri Street and Capitol Avenue, as well as Capitol Avenue and Missouri Street adjacent to the stadium. Expect heavy congestion along I-70 and West Street for up to two hours before and after the game, so plan to leave Fort Wayne at least four hours before kickoff! A full-day or round-trip package ensures your driver stays nearby and ready when the 4th quarter ends.

From Fort Wayne, your charter bus will cruise down I-69 South to I-465 or connect onto I-65 South / I-70 West into downtown Indianapolis. The fastest arena access comes via the Fletcher Avenue / Calvary Street exit or the Washington Street (US-40) exit off I-65/I-70. Once downtown, Delaware Street, Pennsylvania Street, and Maryland Street provide direct, wide-lane approaches to the arena's main entrances. Your driver will monitor live traffic on the I-69 corridor so your group arrives well before tip-off.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse

Charter buses can drop off passengers right along South Pennsylvania Street outside the main Entry Pavilion or along East Maryland Street on the north side of the building. For school groups and athletic teams, drivers often utilize the curb lane along Delaware Street on the east side of the Fieldhouse to avoid heavy pedestrian crowds in the Bicentennial Unity Plaza. Because downtown Indy enforces strict no-idling and active-loading rules, buses must vacate the curb immediately after unloading. After the final buzzer, gather your entire group inside the main lobby before calling your driver back to Pennsylvania Street.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Gainbridge Fieldhouse

The attached Virginia Avenue Garage has height restrictions that prevent motorcoaches and high-roof minibuses from entering. Instead, your charter bus can stage and park in surface lots south of South Street along Pennsylvania and Delaware Streets, or utilize commercial bus parking near the Eli Lilly corporate campus and Lucas Oil Stadium surface lots just a five-minute drive away.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On Pacers and Fever game days, Bankers Life Way (Georgia Street) and portions of Pennsylvania Street between Maryland and Georgia Streets frequently close to vehicular traffic to accommodate fan plazas and pedestrian crossings. If a convention or Colts game overlaps with tip-off, downtown gridlock along Washington Street and Market Street can add 30 minutes to your arrival. Pad your schedule with extra time so everyone can grab concessions and find their seats without rushing!

Notre Dame Stadium (Home of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish)

Why split your alumni club or fan group into a dozen cars when you can ride together to Notre Dame Stadium? Located less than two hours northwest of Fort Wayne, South Bend is an easy game-day trip aboard a private party bus, 25-passenger minibus, or 56-passenger motorcoach! Check instant online pricing in under 30 seconds or call (260) 240-2500 any day of the year.

Major Roadways to Notre Dame Stadium

Traveling from Fort Wayne to South Bend takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes heading northwest on US-30 West to US-31 North, or by taking I-69 North to the I-80 / I-90 Indiana Toll Road West (Exit 77 for Notre Dame). On football Saturdays, charter buses must follow the university's designated commercial entry route off Toll Road Exit 77 onto US-933 North (Michigan Street), turning east onto Angela Boulevard or Douglas Road according to electronic traffic signs. Avoiding campus side streets like Notre Dame Avenue is essential, as they convert to pedestrian-only zones early on game day.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Notre Dame Stadium

Private charter buses and sprinter vans drop passengers off directly inside their assigned bus parking area—primarily the Burke North Golf Course Bus Lot off Dorais Drive and Holy Cross Drive, or the White Field Lot north of Douglas Road. From the Burke Golf Course bus zone, fans enjoy a scenic 10- to 15-minute walk past the Golden Dome straight to the stadium gates, and board the bus in that exact same spot after the game!

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Notre Dame Stadium

All charter buses attending Fighting Irish home games must display a pre-purchased Bus Parking Pass (ordered in advance through Murnane & Associates / Notre Dame Athletics) to park in the Burke North Lot or White Field. Your bus stays parked in its designated grass or paved stall for the entire game, giving your group a dedicated tailgating and post-game meetup spot until departure!

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Notre Dame implements a strict one-way traffic pattern and road closures along Twyckenham Drive, Edison Road, and Angela Boulevard starting early Saturday morning, and post-game outbound traffic reverses all lanes toward the I-80/90 Toll Road and US-31. Because Fighting Irish football weekends sell out buses across Northern Indiana months in advance, lock in your Fort Wayne charter bus early and plan to arrive on campus at least three to four hours before kickoff! After you book online, the confirmation team will call to verify your exact departure schedule and tailgating stops.
