A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Cornhuskers at Memorial Stadium
There is no experience in college football quite like a Saturday at Memorial Stadium (600 Stadium Dr, Lincoln, NE 68588). As the third-largest "city" in Nebraska on game days, the stadium packs in nearly 90,000 screaming fans, creating an electric atmosphere that reverberates throughout the entire state. If you are planning to attend a Husker football game with a large group of alumni, family, or friends, a private charter bus rental is your MVP. Traffic around the stadium and downtown Lincoln becomes gridlocked hours before kickoff, and parking passes in the coveted lots are often sold out or incredibly expensive.
With Charter Bus Lincoln, your driver handles the navigation through the crowded streets of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus, dropping your group off within walking distance of the gates. You can utilize the spacious undercarriage luggage bays to store coolers, folding chairs, tents, and cornhole boards, ensuring you have everything you need for a world-class tailgate without cramping your legroom inside the bus. After the game, while thousands of cars are stuck in traffic jams on I-180, your group can relax in reclining seats, watch post-game highlights on the onboard TV monitors, and enjoy a climate-controlled ride home. Whether you are coming from Omaha, Grand Island, or out of state, we make game day transportation seamless.
Catch Volleyball & Basketball Action at Pinnacle Bank Arena
Located in the vibrant West Haymarket District, Pinnacle Bank Arena (400 Pinnacle Arena Dr, Lincoln, NE 68508)—affectionately known as "The Vault"—is the modern home of Nebraska men's and women's basketball, and occasionally the multi-time national champion Husker volleyball team. The arena is a hub of activity year-round, hosting major sporting events, concerts, and tournaments. However, its downtown location means that parking can be a premium, especially when concurrent events are happening in the Haymarket.
Rent a minibus or charter bus for your basketball fan club or youth volleyball team to ensure everyone arrives together. Instead of splitting up into multiple vehicles and worrying about finding each other in the Railyard, your group can travel as a unit. Our buses come equipped with high-speed WiFi and power outlets, allowing you to check stats, post photos to social media, and stay connected before the tip-off. Your driver will drop you off curbside near the arena entrance, allowing you to skip the long walks from distant parking garages in the freezing Nebraska winter. After the final buzzer, your warm bus will be waiting to transport you to a celebratory dinner or back to your hotel.
Minor League Fun with the Lincoln Saltdogs
For a more relaxed, family-friendly sports outing, nothing beats a day at Haymarket Park (403 Line Dr Cir, Lincoln, NE 68508) to watch the Lincoln Saltdogs. As members of the American Association of Professional Baseball, the Saltdogs offer high-quality baseball in a beautiful setting that has been voted "Playing Surface of the Year" multiple times. This is a fantastic option for corporate outings, summer camps, church groups, and family reunions looking for affordable entertainment.
Booking a charter bus rental in Lincoln for a Saltdogs game takes the stress out of organizing a large group outing. We can shuttle your employees from your office directly to the ballpark for a company picnic, or transport your extended family from their hotels for an afternoon of hot dogs and home runs. The spacious interiors of our buses mean there is plenty of room for strollers, picnic blankets, and baseball mitts. Plus, with a driver at the wheel, the adults in your group can enjoy a few cold beverages at the ballpark without worrying about who has to drive home. It’s a grand slam for group logistics.
Racing Excitement at Eagle Raceway
If your group prefers high-octane thrills and the roar of engines, a trip to Eagle Raceway (617 S 238th St, Eagle, NE 68347) is a must. Known as "America's Home Track," this dirt track located just a short drive east of Lincoln hosts adrenaline-pumping sprint car racing on Saturday nights. It is a popular destination for bachelor parties, birthday groups, and motorsport enthusiasts.
Navigating rural roads at night after a long evening of racing excitement is best left to the designated drivers. By renting a charter bus from Charter Bus Lincoln, your group can enjoy the entire evening without the fatigue of driving. Your driver will pick you up from a central location in Lincoln and shuttle you directly to the track. On the way there, you can use the onboard PA system to get everyone hyped up, or play racing highlights on the overhead screens. After the checkered flag waves, everyone can pile back into the air-conditioned bus for a comfortable ride back to the city, avoiding the dust and the post-race traffic egress.
University of Nebraska Athletics & Campus Sports
Beyond football and basketball, the University of Nebraska boasts a wide array of top-tier athletic programs, from baseball at Hawks Field to track and field at the Bob Devaney Sports Center (1600 Court St, Lincoln, NE 68508). Charter Bus Lincoln is proud to provide transportation solutions not just for fans, but for the athletes themselves. We offer athletic team charter bus rentals for high school teams, collegiate clubs, and traveling competitors heading to tournaments in Lincoln.
We understand that athletes need space to stretch out and rest before a competition. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches offer ample legroom and reclining seats, ensuring your players arrive fresh and ready to compete. The massive luggage bays underneath the bus can easily accommodate blocking sleds, pole vault poles, hockey bags, or dozens of baseball bats and helmets. Coaches can review game tape on the onboard monitors, while players can use individual reading lights and power outlets to focus or relax. Whether you are a local high school team headed to the state championships or a visiting college squad, we have the fleet to support your road to victory.
The Ultimate Tailgating Experience
In Lincoln, the game is only half the fun; the tailgate is the main event. Whether you are setting up shop at a designated parking lot or heading to the famous Railyard (350 Canopy St, Lincoln, NE 68508) for the pre-game festivities, logistics are key. A charter bus rental from Charter Bus Lincoln serves as the ultimate tailgating headquarters. You won't have to cram coolers into the trunk of a sedan or worry about fitting a grill into a hatchback.
Load up your bus with everything you need: tents, tables, chairs, food, and beverages. Your bus provides a central meeting point for your group, shade on hot days, and a warm shelter on those frigid November game days. With a private bus, you don't have to worry about finding multiple parking spots next to each other. You arrive together, set up together, and party together. Plus, having a driver means you have a built-in designated driver for the entire group, ensuring everyone stays comfortable while enjoying the spirited atmosphere of a Husker game day.
Sports Bars and Post-Game Celebrations in the Haymarket
Win or lose, the party continues after the game in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket District. This revitalized area is packed with sports bars, breweries, and restaurants perfect for a post-game meal or celebration. Places like Lazlo's Brewery & Grill (210 N 7th St, Lincoln, NE 68508) or Leadbelly (301 N 8th St, Lincoln, NE 68508) are local favorites for burgers and brews. However, parking in the Haymarket on a game night is notoriously difficult.
With a charter bus rental, your group can be dropped off right in the heart of the action. You can hop between bars or enjoy a sit-down dinner without watching the clock on a parking meter. If your group wants to do a pub crawl, your driver can transport you comfortably between locations, perhaps stopping at other local favorites like The Watering Hole or Barry's Bar and Grill. When the night is over, you won't have to wait for surge-priced rideshares or split your group into multiple taxis. Your private shuttle will be waiting to take everyone home or back to the hotel comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lincoln Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for tailgating gear?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage luggage bays that are perfect for storing large items. You can easily fit coolers, portable grills, folding tables, chairs, tents, and cornhole sets. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for smaller personal items like backpacks or jackets. If you have an excessive amount of gear, please let our reservation specialists know so we can ensure you book the right size vehicle for your needs.
Where does the bus park during the game?
Parking regulations vary by venue. For Nebraska football games at Memorial Stadium and events at Pinnacle Bank Arena, buses typically must park in designated oversized vehicle lots, which may require a pre-purchased parking pass. It is the responsibility of the group to secure any necessary parking permits, though our team can advise you on where to look. In many cases, the driver can drop your group off near the entrance and then park at an off-site location, returning to pick you up when the game ends.
Can you transport the sports team and their equipment?
Absolutely. We specialize in athletic team transportation. Our full-size charter buses are the standard for high school, college, and professional teams because they offer the comfort and storage capacity required. We can easily accommodate a full football roster along with pads, helmets, and uniforms, or a hockey team with their oversized gear bags. The reclining seats also allow athletes to rest and recover during travel to and from tournaments.
How far in advance should we book a bus for a Husker football game?
Nebraska football games are massive events that draw tens of thousands of people, meaning demand for transportation is incredibly high. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus rental at least 6 to 9 months in advance for home football games to ensure availability. For other events, booking 3 months in advance is usually sufficient, but the earlier you book, the more options you will have regarding vehicle types and pricing.
