A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Colorado Buffaloes at Folsom Field
There are few experiences in college football that compare to a game day at Folsom Field (2400 Colorado Ave, Boulder, CO 80302). Known as one of the most scenic stadiums in the NCAA, Folsom Field offers breathtaking views of the Flatirons and an energy that reverberates through the entire city. Of course, the highlight of any home game is seeing Ralphie the Buffalo—one of the best live mascots in sports—make her thunderous run across the field before kickoff. Whether you are a local fan club or a visiting alumni group coming in from out of town, catching a Buffs game is a bucket-list item.
However, parking around the University of Colorado campus on game days is notoriously difficult. Public lots fill up hours before kickoff, and street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods is heavily restricted. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Boulder, you bypass these headaches entirely. We can drop your group off within walking distance of the stadium entrance, allowing you to head straight for the fan zones or your seats. If you are planning a massive tailgate, a full-size 56-passenger charter bus has massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for hauling coolers, tents, folding chairs, and grills. Your driver stays with the bus, ensuring your belongings are secure while you head inside to cheer on the team.
Catch Hoops Action at the CU Events Center
When the weather turns cold and football season wraps up, the action moves indoors to the CU Events Center (950 Regent Dr, Boulder, CO 80309). Home to the Colorado Buffaloes men's and women's basketball teams, as well as volleyball matches, this venue—often affectionately called "The Keg"—is known for its high altitude and loud student section. Bringing a youth basketball team or a group of coworkers to a game is a fantastic way to spend a winter evening in Boulder.
Winter driving in Colorado can be unpredictable, but our charter bus rentals are prepared for the elements. Instead of worrying about icy roads or navigating the hilly terrain of the campus in snow, your group can relax in a climate-controlled cabin. We offer efficient shuttle services that can pick your group up from local hotels, schools, or offices and drop you right at the curb of the Events Center. After the game, you won't be shivering in a parking lot waiting for a rideshare; your warm, private bus will be ready and waiting to take you to a post-game dinner on Pearl Street or back home.
Professional Sports in Nearby Denver
One of the biggest advantages of staying in Boulder is its proximity to Denver. Just 30 miles down US-36, you have access to four major professional sports teams. However, the drive between Boulder and Denver during rush hour or game days can be gridlocked, and parking at major venues often costs a premium. Charter Bus Boulder makes it easy to support your favorite pro teams without the hassle of driving yourself.
Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High If you are organizing a group trip to see the Broncos, a charter bus is essential. We transport fan clubs and corporate groups directly to Empower Field at Mile High (1701 Bryant St, Denver, CO 80204). You can start the tailgate the moment you step onto the bus, enjoying the camaraderie of your group without worrying about the "Mousetrap" traffic exchange or navigating the sprawling stadium lots.
Colorado Rockies at Coors Field There is nothing quite like a summer evening watching baseball at Coors Field (2001 Blake St, Denver, CO 80205). Located in the heart of LoDo (Lower Downtown), parking here is scarce and expensive. With a charter bus rental, your driver can drop you off right near the ballpark entrance. After the game, or after enjoying the nightlife in LoDo, you have a designated driver to bring your group back to Boulder.
Nuggets and Avalanche at Ball Arena Whether you are there for an NBA slam dunk or an NHL power play, Ball Arena (1000 Chopper Cir, Denver, CO 80204) is the place to be. We provide round-trip transportation from Boulder for large groups, ensuring everyone arrives together and on time for the tip-off or puck drop.
Participate in the Bolder Boulder 10K
Every Memorial Day, the city transforms for the Bolder Boulder, one of the largest and most highly acclaimed 10K road races in the world. It is not just a race; it is a massive community festival that finishes at Folsom Field. For running clubs, charity groups, and corporate teams participating in the race, transportation logistics can be the most stressful part of the morning. With tens of thousands of participants and spectators, road closures are extensive, and parking is nearly impossible to find near the start line.
Charter Bus Boulder provides efficient transportation solutions for race participants. We can pick up your running club from a central meeting point in Boulder or surrounding suburbs like Longmont, Lafayette, or Louisville, and get you as close to the start line as road closures permit. Our buses offer ample storage space for warm-up gear, change of clothes, and post-race snacks. Once you cross the finish line and enjoy the Memorial Day tribute at the stadium, your bus will be ready to shuttle your tired but happy group to a celebratory brunch.
Outdoor Adventure and Group Hiking
In Boulder, "sport" often means hitting the trails. For groups visiting for athletic training, altitude conditioning, or just recreational hiking, Chautauqua Park (900 Baseline Rd, Boulder, CO 80302) is ground zero. It offers access to the iconic Flatirons and miles of challenging trails. However, the parking lot at Chautauqua is small and fills up very early in the morning, leaving many visitors scrambling for spots in residential neighborhoods where permits are often required.
Rent a minibus from Charter Bus Boulder for your hiking group or sports team retreat. We can drop you off right at the Ranger Cottage so you can hit the Royal Arch trail or the First and Second Flatiron trails immediately. While you are conquering the elevation gain, your driver will handle the vehicle. We can also arrange transportation to other recreational hubs like Eldorado Canyon State Park or the Boulder Creek Path. With a private bus, you have the flexibility to create a custom itinerary that fits your training schedule.
Tailgating and Post-Game Celebrations on Pearl Street
The game might end at the stadium, but the celebration continues on the bricks of the Pearl Street Mall (1942 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80302). This four-block pedestrian mall is the heart of Boulder’s dining and nightlife scene, packed with breweries, pubs, and restaurants perfect for a post-game meal. Whether you are celebrating a big win or just enjoying the company of friends, Pearl Street is a must-visit.
Navigating downtown Boulder with a caravan of cars is difficult, and parking garages can be confusing for out-of-towners. A charter bus rental allows you to keep the party going safely. We can pick your group up from the stadium and shuttle you directly to Pearl Street. Enjoy local craft beers at West Flanders Brewing Co. or grab a burger at The Sink on "The Hill" without worrying about assigning designated drivers. When the night winds down, your bus will be waiting to transport everyone safely back to their hotels or homes. We prioritize your safety so you can focus on the fun.
Amenities for the Ultimate Road Trip
When you choose Charter Bus Boulder, you aren't just getting a ride; you are getting a premium travel experience tailored to sports fans and athletes. Our fleet includes a variety of bus sizes, from 18-passenger minibuses for small fan groups to 56-passenger motorcoaches for entire football teams. We understand that comfort is key, especially after a long game or a hard run.
Storage Space: Our full-size charter buses feature massive undercarriage luggage bays. This is essential for sports teams traveling with helmets, pads, balls, and medical equipment. For fan groups, this space fits coolers, folding tables, cornhole boards, and tents for the ultimate tailgate setup.
Comfort and Entertainment: Keep the team focused or the fans entertained with onboard amenities. Request a bus with flat-screen TVs and DVD players to watch game tape or highlights from the season. Use the onboard WiFi and power outlets to check scores, update fantasy leagues, or post photos of the game in real-time. Plus, with plush, reclining seats and plenty of legroom, athletes can stretch out and prevent cramping on the way home.
Onboard Restrooms: For longer trips—such as traveling from Boulder to an away game in Fort Collins or Colorado Springs—an onboard restroom helps minimize pit stops and keeps your group on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boulder Sports Transportation
How much does it cost to rent a charter bus in Boulder for a sporting event?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and the distance traveled. For example, a full-day rental during a peak football Saturday might cost differently than a short shuttle on a weekday. The best way to get an accurate price is to call our team at 720-414-8085. We can provide you with a free, personalized quote in minutes based on your specific itinerary.
Where can a charter bus park at Folsom Field?
Parking for charter buses at CU Boulder is limited and strictly regulated, especially on game days. Typically, charter buses must park in specific designated lots or drop off passengers and park off-site. When you book with Charter Bus Boulder, our team can help advise you on the current parking procedures for Folsom Field. In many cases, we will arrange to drop your group off near the stadium and return to pick you up after the game, saving you the cost and hassle of parking the bus on campus.
Can you transport sports teams with a lot of equipment?
Absolutely. For sports teams carrying heavy gear—like football pads, hockey bags, or lacrosse sticks—we recommend booking a full-size 56-passenger charter bus. These motorcoaches come equipped with spacious undercarriage storage bays that can easily accommodate large amounts of equipment and luggage, keeping the interior cabin clutter-free and comfortable for the athletes.
How far in advance should I book my bus for a big game?
Boulder is a major college sports town, and demand for buses skyrockets during home football games, graduation, and major events like the Bolder Boulder. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your schedule is confirmed. Ideally, you should aim to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, our team is available 24/7 and will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.
