Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to New Berlin Sports Venues & Arenas
Keeping your entire fan group, youth roster, or alumni club together on game day takes a solid plan for navigating stadium traffic and oversized vehicle rules. Whether you’re making the short hop down I-94 from New Berlin to Milwaukee or heading out on a road trip to Green Bay or Chicago, knowing where your bus can load, unload, and stage saves everyone time. Through our statewide network of independent operators, you can compare New Berlin sporting event charter bus rentals ranging from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger motorcoaches and party buses. Read on to see exact pickup zones, parking lots, and highway routes for the top stadiums near New Berlin!
American Family Field (Home of the Milwaukee Brewers)
Newberlin
Major Roadways to American Family Field
Getting to the ballpark from New Berlin is a breeze when your driver takes I-43 North to I-894 North and merges onto I-94 East toward downtown Milwaukee. Most charter buses exit directly onto Brewers Boulevard (Miller Park Way / WI-175), which feeds straight into the stadium’s eastern parking lots. If I-94 is backed up near the Zoo Interchange, drivers can also use W. Greenfield Avenue or W. Bluemound Road (US-18) as alternate surface routes. Building in an extra 30 minutes before first pitch keeps your group ahead of the rush!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at American Family Field
Buses dropping off passengers without staying to park can use the designated Bus/Shuttle Drop-Off area along Brewers Boulevard just north of the Uecker Lot, a short walk via the pedestrian bridge to the Left Field Entrance. After the final out, your group can meet the bus in that same loading zone once everyone is gathered and ready to board.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at American Family Field
Oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is located in the American Lot (Lot A1) on the east side of the ballpark off Brewers Boulevard, where tailgating is welcomed right beside your bus! Bus parking passes should be purchased in advance through the Brewers ticket office, and lots typically open three hours before weekday games and three and a half hours before weekend games. Because 56-passenger charter buses take up extra space, reserving your pass early guarantees a spot for your vehicle.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Expect heavy congestion along I-94, WI-175, and Canal Street starting two hours before game time and lasting an hour after the final inning. Law enforcement directs post-game traffic out of the lots in set patterns, so coordinate your exact meetup time with your driver before heading inside.
Fiserv Forum (Home of the Milwaukee Bucks)
Choosing a private shuttle through the bus types in our network is the easiest way to catch a Milwaukee Bucks game, Marquette basketball matchup, or arena concert in the Deer District! Located at 1111 Vel R. Phillips Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53203, Fiserv Forum is only 20 minutes from New Berlin and offers dedicated curb space for group arrivals.
Major Roadways to Fiserv Forum
Your driver will typically travel north from New Berlin via I-43 North / I-894 to I-94 East, merging onto I-43 North at the Marquette Interchange and taking the exit for W. Highland Avenue / W. State Street or W. McKinley Avenue. From there, N. 6th Street and W. Juneau Avenue provide direct access to the arena perimeter without getting stuck in narrow downtown side streets. If your group is grabbing dinner in the Historic Third Ward before tipoff, your bus can easily run a multi-stop route up N. Water Street or N. Broadway. Just enter your extra stops in our 30-second online quote form!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Fiserv Forum
Charter buses, party buses, and minibuses load and unload passengers along the north side of W. Juneau Avenue between N. 6th Street and N. Vel R. Phillips Avenue, right on the edge of the Deer District plaza. Since downtown Milwaukee prohibits extended curbside idling, make sure your entire group is together outside the main atrium before signaling your driver to pull up.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Fiserv Forum
The Highland Structure and 5th Street Parking Structure have low vertical clearances that cannot fit full-size motorcoaches. Instead, oversized vehicles can reserve surface parking in Lot G near N. 6th Street and W. McKinley Avenue, or stage off-site at nearby surface lots along W. St. Paul Avenue or the Potawatomi Casino Hotel oversized lot. Your confirmation team will go over every pickup and staging detail with you after you book online!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Sections of Vel R. Phillips Avenue and W. Juneau Avenue adjacent to the Deer District plaza frequently close to vehicle traffic two hours before tipoff. Plan to arrive 60 to 90 minutes early when weekday games overlap with evening rush hour on I-94.
Franklin Field (Home of the Milwaukee Milkmen)
We help you compare affordable minibuses, party buses, and charter buses for summer outings to Franklin Field, located in the Ballpark Commons district! Less than 15 minutes southeast of New Berlin, it’s a favorite spot for youth baseball teams, corporate outings, and family reunions.
Major Roadways to Franklin Field
Traveling from New Berlin to Franklin is a quick surface-street ride that skips freeway gridlock altogether! Your driver can head south on S. Moorland Road (County Rd O) or S. Racine Avenue, connect onto W. Beloit Road or W. Janesville Road (WI-24), and follow WI-36 South (Loomis Road) straight to W. Rawson Avenue. Turning onto S. Ballpark Drive brings your group right into the Ballpark Commons sports and entertainment complex. Because you aren’t limited to one local company’s fleet, you can easily book a nimble 25-passenger minibus or a 56-passenger coach for this short hop!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Franklin Field
Your bus can pull right up to the main entrance plaza along S. Ballpark Drive just south of W. Rawson Avenue to let your group step off together steps from the ticket gates. Because Ballpark Commons is an open-air mixed-use complex rather than a cramped downtown grid, unloading coolers, team gear, or strollers is quick and relaxed. After the game, your group can gather outside the main gate near the Routine Field plaza while your driver pulls around for one shared pickup. Nobody has to hunt for a ride home!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Franklin Field
Franklin Field features expansive surface parking lots off S. Ballpark Drive and S. Crystal Ridge Drive with no garage height restrictions to worry about! Charter buses and minibuses can park in the outer perimeter stalls of the main surface lot near the Luxe Golf Bays, keeping the vehicle close by throughout the game. General parking at Franklin Field is free, though groups bringing multiple full-size motorcoaches should coordinate with Ballpark Commons event staff ahead of time so consecutive spaces can be coned off. Your driver can stay parked on-site the entire time!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
While Franklin Field doesn’t have major highway closures, the intersection of W. Rawson Avenue and Loomis Road (WI-36) can back up during weekday evening rush hour and on Friday nights when post-game fireworks are scheduled. If there are simultaneous youth tournaments at Routine Field or events at the Milky Way Drive-In, S. Ballpark Drive moves slowly for about 20 minutes before and after the game. Leaving New Berlin 45 minutes before first pitch gives your group plenty of time to grab food and settle into your seats. Fill out one quick form to lock in your bus in under 30 seconds!
Lambeau Field (Home of the Green Bay Packers)
With one form on Newberlin
Major Roadways to Lambeau Field
From New Berlin, your driver will take I-94 East / I-41 North through Wauwatosa and Germantown, staying on I-41 North past Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, and Appleton all the way into Green Bay. On game days, buses exit I-41 at Lombardi Avenue (Exit 167) or Oneida Street / Waube Lane (Exit 164) to approach the stadium district. Alternatively, drivers can take I-43 North along Lake Michigan through Sheboygan and Manitowoc before cutting west on I-41 / WI-172 if I-41 experiences heavy gameday slowdowns.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Lambeau Field
Charter buses not parking inside the main stadium lot can drop passengers off along Oneida Street near the Resch Center or along Armed Forces Drive on the east side of the stadium. Make sure everyone knows the exact post-game meeting spot before heading toward the gates!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Lambeau Field
Because Lambeau Field main lots are reserved for season parking pass holders, the best charter bus parking and tailgating spots are in the Resch Complex / Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena lots across Oneida Street or the Titletown District oversized bus areas along Brookwood Drive and Marlee Lane. Bus parking permits for the Resch lots must be reserved in advance and allow your group to tailgate right outside the coach! After you book on the national booking platform, our confirmation department calls to verify your Green Bay itinerary and parking plan. You can book one bus or a whole fleet for your fan club!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Game-day traffic in Green Bay starts building four hours before kickoff, and portions of Lombardi Avenue, Oneida Street, and Ridge Road immediately surrounding the stadium restrict turns or close to through traffic. Plan to depart New Berlin at least four to five hours before kickoff so you have plenty of time for the two-hour drive and a full Titletown tailgate. Expect a 60- to 90-minute delay exiting Green Bay onto I-41 South after the final whistle.
Soldier Field (Home of the Chicago Bears)
Let a driver navigate the tollways and Lake Shore Drive traffic when you book a bus from New Berlin to Soldier Field for a Bears vs. Packers rivalry game, Chicago Fire FC match, or stadium concert! Just under two hours south of New Berlin, a private charter bus or party bus turns an out-of-state road trip into a smooth, door-to-door celebration.
Major Roadways to Soldier Field
Your bus will head east from New Berlin on I-43 North / I-894 East to I-94 South (Tri-State / Edens Expressway) across the Illinois state line through Lake County and into downtown Chicago. From I-94, drivers connect to I-55 North (Stevenson Expressway) and merge onto US-41 / DuSable Lake Shore Drive toward the 18th Street or 31st Street exits. Because commercial buses cannot use certain restricted Chicago boulevards, an experienced operator ensures a compliant route straight to the Museum Campus.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Soldier Field
For pre-game drop-offs, charter buses use the designated unloading zone at the 18th Street turnaround just west of DuSable Lake Shore Drive, putting your group right near the south entrance of Soldier Field. After the game or concert ends, buses stage for pickup along Columbus Drive and Balbo Drive in Grant Park or at your assigned marshalling yard slot. Note that the City of Chicago strictly enforces a 3-minute commercial vehicle anti-idling limit! Gather your entire group before walking to the pickup curb so everyone can board right away.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Soldier Field
Oversized charter buses and party buses park in the McCormick Place Marshalling Yard located at 31st Street and DuSable Lake Shore Drive (with the lot entrance off Moe Drive) or in the Adler Planetarium Surface Lot at 1300 S. Linn White Drive on the Museum Campus. Pre-paid bus parking passes are strongly recommended for Bears home games and major summer stadium tours, as day-of oversized spots fill up hours before kickoff. Remember that outside costs like interstate tolls and stadium bus parking fees are separate from your rental quote so there are never any hidden surprises. Check our group transportation services page to see all the ways we can customize your Chicago trip!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On Bears game days and concert nights, Chicago traffic control closes 18th Street, Museum Campus Drive, McFetridge Drive, and Waldron Drive to general vehicle traffic starting two to three hours before the event. Only vehicles with pre-purchased parking passes or authorized commercial buses are directed through the checkpoints. Leave New Berlin at least three and a half to four hours early to clear I-94 tollway traffic and downtown Chicago bottlenecks with time to spare!
