Lucas Oil Stadium (Home of the Indianapolis Colts)
Greenfieldcharterbuscompany.com is ready to connect your fan group, marching band, or youth roster with the right ride to Lucas Oil Stadium at 500 S. Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225. Instead of splitting into a caravan of cars from Greenfield, you can compare 56-passenger charter buses with undercarriage storage bays for tailgating gear or 15- to 50-passenger party buses with LED lighting and Bluetooth sound systems. Because we don't own the vehicles, you're never stuck with whatever one single operator has parked in its lot on a sold-out Colts Sunday!

Major Roadways to Lucas Oil Stadium
Groups departing Greenfield typically take I-70 West straight from State Road 9 into Downtown Indianapolis, merging onto the I-65/I-70 South Split toward Exit 79A (West Street) or Exit 79B (Illinois Street/Meridian Street). If I-70 backs up near the downtown interchange, your driver can also use US-40 West (Washington Street) as a direct surface alternative from Hancock County into the stadium district. From the highway exits, Capitol Avenue, Missouri Street, and South Street serve as the primary approach corridors framing the stadium.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Lucas Oil Stadium
Charter buses drop off and pick up passengers curbside along Missouri Street on the west side of the stadium near the West Gate, or along Capitol Avenue near the East Gate, depending on event traffic control. Because Indianapolis enforces a strict 5-minute commercial idling limit, have your whole group gathered and ready to board before calling your driver back to the curb after the final whistle!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Lucas Oil Stadium
Oversized motorcoaches and minibuses cannot enter standard downtown parking garages due to low vertical clearances. Instead, official Lucas Oil Stadium bus and RV parking is located in the South Lot and in designated oversized surface lots along Merrill Street and McCarty Street. Permits for oversized vehicles sell out quickly for NFL games, Big Ten Football Championship weekend, and major concerts, so reserve your bus pass in advance. If on-site lots are full, your driver can stage off-site near the Indianapolis Zoo surface lot on West Washington Street and pull back up when you text.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Beginning three hours before kickoff on Colts game days and major event dates, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) closes South Street between Missouri Street and Capitol Avenue, as well as sections of Capitol Avenue and Meridian Street adjacent to the stadium plaza. Heavy congestion builds rapidly along the I-70 West exit ramps and Kentucky Avenue starting two hours prior to gates opening. We recommend departing Greenfield at least 2.5 to 3 hours before kickoff so your group has plenty of time to unload, tailgate, and clear clear-bag security screening. After you book on the national booking platform, our confirmation department calls to verify your exact gate drop-off and post-game meetup spot!
Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Home of the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever)
If your group is heading into downtown Indy to cheer on the Pacers or the Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, renting a 25-passenger minibus or party bus keeps everyone together from first tip-off to the ride home! Skip surge-priced rideshares and high-demand garage fees by comparing vehicles from multiple independent bus companies in one quick search.
Major Roadways to Gainbridge Fieldhouse
From Greenfield, take I-70 West to the Fletcher Avenue / Calvary Street exit or the Ohio Street / Washington Street exit into the Wholesale District. Local streets including Pennsylvania Street, Delaware Street, and Maryland Street provide direct curb access to the arena's main entrances.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Your driver can unload and reload passengers in the designated loading zone along Pennsylvania Street right outside the Bicentennial Unity Plaza and main atrium entrance, or along the north side on Maryland Street. Active loading only is permitted at the curb, so coordinate a post-game text chain so everyone walks out together!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Gainbridge Fieldhouse
The attached Virginia Avenue Garage has a 7'0" height restriction and cannot accommodate charter buses, party buses, or high-roof sprinter vans. After dropping your group off on Pennsylvania Street, your driver can relocate to open-air oversized surface lots south of the railroad viaduct along South Street, Delaware Street, or near the Lucas Oil Stadium South Lot. Need a quick one-way drop-off and split-time pickup instead of paying for a full hourly block? Call us 365 days a year to ask about custom packages and below-minimum phone deals!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
During Pacers and Fever games, IHSAA State Finals tournaments, and sold-out concerts, Pennsylvania Street between Maryland Street and Georgia Street often converts to pedestrian-only access or restricted event lanes an hour before doors open. Weekday evening tip-offs overlap directly with downtown commuter traffic between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. along Washington Street and I-70. Plan to leave Greenfield at least 90 minutes before tip-off to beat downtown gridlock.
Victory Field (Home of the Indianapolis Indians)
Greenfieldcharterbuscompany.com will help your Little League team, company outing, or family reunion lock in stress-free transportation to Victory Field at 501 W. Maryland St, Indianapolis, IN 46225. Situated right across from White River State Park, this Minor League ballpark is only a 30-minute ride west from Greenfield! Whether you need an 18-passenger minibus for an executive suite outing or a full fleet of charter buses for a school Funday matinee, you can compare photos and rates side by side in seconds. Plus, you'll receive your free quote by text and email so it's super easy to share with your group!
Major Roadways to Victory Field
Traveling from Greenfield, groups can take I-70 West to the West Street exit (Exit 79A) and head north directly toward the ballpark, or take US-40 West (Washington Street) straight through Eastgate into Downtown Indianapolis. West Street and Maryland Street border the stadium's primary gates and loading zones, while Kentucky Avenue approaches the third-base and outfield entrances from the southwest. If you are combining your baseball trip with a daytime stop at the NCAA Hall of Champions or the Indiana State Museum, Washington Street links all of White River State Park directly to Victory Field.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Victory Field
Charter buses load and unload groups along the north curb of Maryland Street between West Street and Capitol Avenue, just steps from the main Home Plate box office and Gate 1. School groups attending Youth Baseball Education Days are often directed by ballpark staff to unload along the designated bus lane on West Street or Maryland Street. Because curbside waiting is prohibited on both corridors, drivers must pull away immediately after your group steps off. Set a clear meeting spot near the Victory Bell or the statue out front so everyone is ready when your bus pulls back up!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Victory Field
Victory Field's adjacent surface lot has very limited space and fills quickly with permit holders, so charter buses typically park across the river at the Indianapolis Zoo oversized vehicle lot or in surface lots south of Merrill Street. Both staging locations are less than five minutes away via Washington Street and West Street.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
When a Victory Field afternoon or evening game overlaps with a convention at the Indiana Convention Center across the street or an event at Lucas Oil Stadium, traffic along West Street, Maryland Street, and Washington Street slows down significantly. Friday night fireworks games and 11:05 a.m. Baseball in Education weekday matinees bring heavy pedestrian and bus volume to the Maryland Street crosswalks. Give your group an extra 30-minute buffer when departing Hancock County on overlapping event dates.
Memorial Stadium (Home of the Indiana Hoosiers)
On Big Ten football Saturdays, taking a long-distance charter bus from Greenfield down to Memorial Stadium turns a 75-mile road trip into the ultimate pre-game celebration! Instead of designating drivers for the long ride back to Hancock County after a night game, your alumni chapter, fraternity or sorority, or family tailgate group can relax in reclining seats with onboard WiFi, TVs, and an onboard restroom. Because Greenfieldcharterbuscompany.com connects you with a statewide Indiana network of bus providers, you can book round-trip or full-day packages built around YOUR tailgate schedule. Compare bus types and live pricing in under 30 seconds online—no account needed!
Major Roadways to Memorial Stadium
The fastest route from Greenfield takes I-70 West to I-465 South/West, connecting directly to the newly completed I-69 South corridor straight into Bloomington toward the Sample Road / Walnut Street exit (Exit 120) or the SR-45 / 46 Bypass (Exit 118). Once in Bloomington, State Road 45/46 Bypass and North Fee Lane or North Dunn Street feed directly into the athletic complex.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Memorial Stadium
Groups without an inside-the-fence tailgating bus pass can be dropped off along East 17th Street between Dunn Street and Fee Lane near the south stadium gates, or at the designated charter bus drop-off area off North Fee Lane near Wilkinson Hall. Coordinate your post-game pickup spot near the Sample Gates or along 17th Street once post-game pedestrian traffic clears.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Memorial Stadium
Official game-day charter bus and RV parking is available in designated grass and paved lots around the athletics complex, including Gate 11 (Purple Lot) off the SR-45/46 Bypass and oversized spaces near 17th Street and Dunn Street, which must be pre-purchased through IU Athletics before game day. If you only need drop-off and pickup, your driver can stage off-campus at commercial lots near College Mall on East 3rd Street or along the SR-46 corridor until the fourth quarter. Remember that venue parking passes and road tolls are paid separately from your bus quote so there are never any hidden markups!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On IU home football Saturdays, 17th Street, Dunn Street, and Fee Lane around the stadium convert to restricted game-day traffic flows and one-way post-game outbound lanes managed by Indiana State Police. Expect heavy bottlenecks exiting I-69 at Walnut Street and along the SR-45/46 Bypass starting three hours before kickoff, so plan to leave Greenfield at least 3.5 to 4 hours early.
Quick Tips for Greenfield Game-Day Charter Bus Groups
Whatever sporting event is on your calendar, keeping a few local game-day rules in mind will help your group breeze from pickup in Greenfield to the stadium gates without a hitch. Because commercial vehicles cannot idle for more than 5 minutes at Indiana stadium curbs, always gather your entire group and double-check that everyone has a clear stadium-approved bag before calling your driver in from the staging lot. And remember, you can call us 365 days a year—plus our confirmation department calls you after you book online to verify every pickup, drop-off, and parking detail!
