A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch the Action at the Pavilion and Local Prep Powerhouses
While many fans look toward San Francisco or San Jose for big-league action, Concord’s own backyard features top-tier athletics and entertainment. The Concord Pavilion (2000 Kirker Pass Rd, Concord, CA 94521) is a staple for major events in the East Bay. Navigating Kirker Pass Road during a sold-out event is notoriously difficult, as the two-lane approach often backs up for miles.
For high school sports enthusiasts, Concord is home to legendary programs like De La Salle High School, famous for its historic winning streaks in football. If you are a visiting team or a dedicated booster club heading to a game at Owen Owens Field, we provide the storage space needed for pads, helmets, and hydration stations. A private charter bus allows coaches to conduct pre-game meetings over the PA system while players focus in a quiet, air-conditioned environment. We also frequent the Concord Heritage Life Fitness Center for regional swim meets and indoor tournaments, providing reliable drop-offs right at the main entrance circle.
Game Day Logistics at the Oakland Coliseum
The Oakland Coliseum (7000 S Coliseum Way, Oakland, CA 94621) remains a primary destination for Concord sports fans. Whether you are heading out for a summer baseball game or a major soccer match, the drive from Concord typically involves a congested trek down I-880. Instead of forcing your group to navigate the "Maze" or pay exorbitant individual parking fees, a single 56-passenger motorcoach can consolidate your travel while providing a mobile headquarters for your tailgate.
Charter Bus Parking: For events at the Coliseum, oversized vehicles must enter through 66th Avenue (Gate 1). Bus parking is typically situated in the South Lot, with fees ranging from $85 to $150 depending on the event. The drivers remain with the vehicle or stay nearby, ensuring that as soon as the final whistle blows, your group has a climate-controlled sanctuary waiting to bypass the post-game gridlock. We recommend staging your pick-up at the designated commercial lane near the Oracle Arena complex to ensure a swift exit back toward Highway 24.
Championship Runs at Chase Center and Oracle Park
Crossing the Bay Bridge for a Golden State Warriors or San Francisco Giants game is a rite of passage for East Bay fans, but the logistics are a challenge for even the most seasoned travelers. Chase Center (1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158) is located in the bustling Mission Bay neighborhood where street parking is non-existent for buses. We provide a "drop-and-go" service that allows your group to unload at the Terry A Francois Blvd commercial loading zone, directly across from the arena.
While your group enjoys the game, your driver will stage the bus at the Pier 48 oversized vehicle lot or a designated remote area to comply with San Francisco's strict idling and parking ordinances. For Giants fans at Oracle Park (24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107), we utilize the bus loading zone on 2nd Street. This allows your group to avoid the crowded Embarcadero and the long walks from public transit. With undercarriage storage for your "Fear the Beard" signs and foam fingers, we make the trip across the bridge a premium experience.
Collegiate Spirit: Cal Bears and Saint Mary’s Gaels
Concord serves as the perfect jumping-off point for college sports fans. California Memorial Stadium (2227 Piedmont Ave, Berkeley, CA 94720) sits nestled in the Berkeley hills, where the narrow streets and steep grades make driving a standard car difficult, let alone a large group. Our 35-passenger minibuses are the ideal size for navigating the tight turns around Gayley Road. We recommend that groups utilize the Underhill Garage area for drop-offs or coordinate with the university for a permit to park at the Lawrence Hall of Science lot, which offers a shuttle down to the stadium.
Just a short drive away in Moraga, the University Credit Union Pavilion hosts the Saint Mary’s Gaels. Known for its intimate and loud atmosphere, parking on campus during a West Coast Conference matchup is nearly impossible. Charter Bus Concord can drop your alumni group off at the St. Mary's Road entrance, allowing you to walk straight into the McKeon Pavilion while we handle the off-site staging. Whether it's a "Big Game" rivalry or a mid-week basketball tilt, we ensure your group represents their colors with pride and punctuality.
Youth Sports and Regional Tournaments in the East Bay
Coordinating travel for a youth soccer or baseball league requires precision and a lot of cargo space. If your team is competing at the Concord Edge Soccer Fields or the COPA Soccer Training Center, a charter bus rental provides the professional edge your athletes need. Having a central location for all equipment, from goal nets to coolers, prevents the "forgotten jersey" syndrome that often occurs with carpooling.
We also provide transportation to the Tice Valley Community Gymnasium in Walnut Creek and various regional sports complexes throughout the Tri-Valley area. The drivers understand the importance of strict schedules for tournament play. We account for the heavy afternoon traffic on Ygnacio Valley Road and the I-680/SR-24 interchange, ensuring your team arrives with plenty of time for warm-ups. With onboard power outlets, players can keep their devices charged for scouting videos or post-game celebrations.
San Jose Sports Excursions: Sharks and 49ers
Heading south to San Jose for a Sharks game at the SAP Center (525 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113) or a 49ers game at Levi’s Stadium (4900 Marie P DeBartolo Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054) is a major trek from Concord. The 50-mile journey can take upwards of two hours during Friday evening rush hour. A motorcoach rental turns this commute into a mobile party. Your fans can relax in plush seating and utilize the onboard restroom, eliminating the need for frequent stops along I-880.
At Levi’s Stadium, buses are required to park in Green Lot 1 or Blue Lot, which are designated specifically for oversized vehicles. These spots often require pre-payment and can cost upwards of $200 for major events. Our reservation team can help you factor these costs into your quote and ensure your driver knows exactly which gate to enter. For the SAP Center, we utilize the designated bus loading zone on Autumn Street, providing a seamless transition from the bus to the "Shark Tank."

Frequently Asked Questions About Concord Sports Transportation
How far in advance should we book a bus for a 49ers or Raiders game?
For major sporting events at Levi’s Stadium or the Oakland Coliseum, we recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance. These dates are highly sought after by fan clubs and corporate groups, and fleet availability tightens significantly during the NFL and MLB seasons. Booking early also ensures you secure the best possible rate before seasonal demand increases prices.
Can we bring food and drinks on the bus for tailgating?
Yes! We encourage fans to get the party started early. You are welcome to bring coolers, food, and drinks on board. We simply ask that your group helps maintain the cleanliness of the vehicle and that any beverages are kept in sealable containers to prevent spills. Most of our full-size motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage storage, perfect for grills, folding chairs, and pop-up tents for your tailgate at the Coliseum or Levi’s Stadium.
Where does the bus park during a game at the Concord Pavilion?
The Concord Pavilion has specific parking areas for oversized vehicles. Buses are typically directed to the Lower Lot or a designated gravel area near the staff entrance. Because exit traffic at the Pavilion can be slow due to the geography of Kirker Pass Road, your driver will stage the bus in a position that allows for the quickest possible departure once your group has safely re-boarded.
What happens if the game goes into overtime?
We understand that sports are unpredictable! Our bookings are based on your itinerary, but the drivers are flexible. If a game goes into double overtime or a rain delay pushes back the final out, your driver will remain at the staging area. Please keep in touch with your driver via the provided cell phone number so they can adjust the pick-up time accordingly. Note that additional hourly rates may apply for significant schedule extensions.
Are the buses equipped to handle professional sports teams and their gear?
Absolutely. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches are designed for heavy-duty travel, featuring expansive undercarriage bays that can accommodate everything from hockey trunks to football blocking sleds. We regularly service collegiate and semi-pro teams throughout the East Bay, providing a reliable and professional environment for athletes to travel to away games across California and the Pacific Northwest.
