Every Trojans fan in Los Angeles knows the feeling: the 110 is a parking lot by noon, the Exposition Park lots filled by permit weeks ago, and the rideshare surge pricing on Vermont Avenue after the game is already north of $40 a ride. The single question that decides whether your group gets to enjoy the tailgate or spends it circling Figueroa Street is simple: where exactly does the bus drop us off, and where does it wait while we're inside?

This guide answers it plainly, using the Coliseum's and USC Transportation's own published information, then walks you through everything else a group trip to United Airlines Field needs: which vehicle fits your crew, what shapes the price, how tailgating actually works, and why a Los Angeles charter bus rental beats the carpool math once your group pushes past a handful of cars. We handle these game-day pickups every home season, so the advice below comes from doing it — not from a campus brochure printed in 2019.

United Airlines Field at the LA Memorial Coliseum: What Your Group Needs to Know

The LA Memorial Coliseum is not just another stadium. It hosted the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics, and it is slated to host athletics and closing ceremonies for the LA28 Summer Games — making it the first stadium in history to host three editions of the Olympic Games. United Airlines acquired the naming rights in 2018, and USC completed a $315 million renovation in 2019 that stripped the stadium to 77,500 seats and added club suites and loge boxes.

The stadium sits at 3911 S. Figueroa Street in Exposition Park, just north of the intersection of I-110 and I-10 — two of the most congested freeways in the country on any afternoon, let alone a Saturday kickoff.

That location is the central fact of every USC game-day transportation plan. Exposition Park sits on the western edge of South LA, hemmed in on all sides by I-110 to the east, Figueroa to the west, and Exposition Boulevard to the north. Every road feeding the Coliseum funnels into those same two freeways at the same time.

Left turns on Exposition Park streets are prohibited on game days, and all vehicle traffic is diverted toward the 10 and 110 after the final whistle, with local street closures on Exposition, Figueroa, and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. kicking in at the end of the third quarter and holding for 60 minutes after the game.

That is the friction a Los Angeles party bus solves in a single booking. One vehicle, one drop-off point, one pickup window — while everyone else is stuck deciding between a $50 campus structure and a mile walk or a $35 surge on Uber after Gate 23 empties.

United Airlines Field at the LA Memorial Coliseum, 3911 S. Figueroa St. — hemmed in by I-110 to the east and I-10 to the south, with all post-game traffic diverted onto those two freeways simultaneously.

Charter Bus Drop-Off and Pickup at the Coliseum

Here is the part most rental pages leave vague. For groups arriving by charter bus or party bus, the practical drop-off is curbside along the Exposition Park perimeter streets — primarily Figueroa Street on the western side and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. on the southern approach — near the nearest open gate for your ticket section. The bus drops your group at the curb steps from the gate, instead of sending everyone on a 0.7–0.9 mile walk from a campus parking structure on the far north end of the Exposition Park campus.

That walk is the whole reason a bus matters here. USC's own campus structures are located north of the Coliseum — the Grand Avenue Parking Center is 0.9 miles from the nearest gate, the Shrine Structure is 0.8 miles, and even the closest options (Downey Way and Figueroa Street structures) are 0.6 miles of open-air walking through Exposition Park. That is the walk every car-driving fan commits to before they ever reach their seat.

A charter bus rental in Los Angeles drops your group directly at the Coliseum perimeter and waits in the designated oversized vehicle lot while you are inside.

For post-game pickup, the bus waits nearby and returns to the same agreed curbside point. Because the LAPD implements one-way traffic flows and street closures beginning at the end of the third quarter, confirm your post-game pickup spot and window with our team when you book — approach routes shift by event. We recommend reviewing the official LA Coliseum parking and transportation page before game day, as road-closure specifics can update by event.

Bus and Oversized Vehicle Parking: State Drive, the $40 Pass, and Why You Reserve in Advance

This is the detail that catches first-time Coliseum groups off guard. Bus, RV, and oversized vehicle parking is extremely limited and sold in advance of the event — it is not available day-of. Per the LA Coliseum's official bus/RV parking information, oversized vehicles park at State Drive (not in any parking garage, which has height restrictions that exclude buses).

The parking rate for buses is $40 per vehicle — compared to $20 for a standard car. Your pass must indicate “RV” on the front, and no vehicle exceeding 40 feet in length is permitted.

For USC football events specifically, bus parking reservations go through USC Game Management at 213-740-4174. Availability is not posted online and fills quickly for marquee home games. There is no walk-up or day-of option.

A group that arrives without a pre-purchased bus permit will be turned away from the State Drive lot and left scrambling for a drop-and-stage plan in the surrounding neighborhood — which is why we confirm bus parking as part of the booking, so that is not a surprise your group discovers at the lot entrance.

The cost math makes the permit an easy call. One bus at $40 replaces a fleet of cars each paying $50 for a campus structure pass. Fourteen cars heading to the Grand Avenue Center is $700 in parking costs alone, plus 14 separate groups navigating the 0.9-mile walk.

One bus is $40, one drop, and no walk.

The permit in one line: bus parking at State Drive costs $40 and must be purchased in advance through USC Game Management (213-740-4174) — there is no day-of bus parking sold at the lot. When you book with us, sorting out that reservation is part of the coordination, not something you discover at a closed gate.

Confirm the Routing When You Book — Here's Why

The Coliseum's game-day traffic management changes by event size and kickoff time. For a noon kickoff on a USC–UCLA Saturday, Figueroa Street is manageable at 9 AM. For an 8 PM primetime game against Michigan under the lights, Exposition Park approaches are at full saturation by late afternoon, and the LAPD closes left-turn pockets across the entire perimeter.

The post-game closure window on Figueroa and Exposition — starting at the end of the third quarter — is real, and any charter bus trying to wait on Figueroa Street after that closure is rerouted by traffic control.

Our 24/7 reservation team keeps up with the event-specific traffic plans so you do not have to. When you reserve, we confirm your drop point, approach route, staging location, and post-game pickup timing for your specific event — because a Trojans–Buckeyes night game and an early-season non-conference kickoff are two different operations.

Getting to the Coliseum: Every Transportation Option, Compared Honestly

LA is not Miami, but it is also not a city with great stadium transit options. Let's be direct about what each option actually delivers for a group.

Option Cost shape Arrive together? Drop-off quality Post-game ease Best group size
Charter bus / party bus One flat rate, split by group Yes — one vehicle Best — curbside at gate, not 0.9 miles away Bus waiting — no surge, no walk 15–56
Metro E Line $1.75/person each way Only if on same train Good — Expo Park/USC station, ~10-min walk to gates Good — trains every 6 min post-game Any, but no group control
Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) Per car each way + post-game surge No — multiple cars Moderate — Vermont Ave., ~8-min walk Poor — 45–60 min ban on entry post-game 1–4 per car
Campus parking + walk $50/car at campus structures No — caravans split Worst — 0.6–0.9 mile walk per structure Poor — Figueroa/Exposition closures at Q3 1–2 cars max
Exposition Park permit lot Permit only, sold out weeks ahead No Best proximity, but almost impossible to get Moderate 1 car

The honest read: for one or two people making a day of it, the Metro E Line is genuinely the smartest call — $1.75 each way, trains every six minutes after the game, and no parking anxiety at all. But the moment your group grows past two or three cars' worth of people, the coordination overhead of separate vehicles, scattered parking, 14 separate walks through Exposition Park, and the post-game rideshare ban all tip decisively toward a single bus. That's the group this guide is written for.

The Metro E Line: The Best Solo Option, Explained

The Metro E Line stops at Expo Park/USC Station, approximately a 10-minute walk from the Coliseum gates. It is genuinely the smoothest alternative for individuals and very small groups, because Metro runs enhanced frequency on game days and trains depart every six minutes after the final whistle. The one-way fare is $1.75 with free transfers within two hours on a TAP card.

You can also board the J Line 910/950 express buses and exit at 37th St./USC Station, which sits northeast of the Coliseum near I-110. The issue for a group: you cannot keep 20, 30, or 40 people on the same train departure, and anyone running late from a pregame gathering has no guarantee they ride over with the group. A Los Angeles bus rental in the party bus or minibus category solves that coordination problem entirely.

The Rideshare Reality: Vermont Avenue and the 60-Minute Ban

Rideshares drop off at Vermont Avenue between Exposition Boulevard and 36th Pl./Downey Way, and at Flower St. and Jefferson Blvd. That is roughly an 8-minute walk to the main gates. After the game, rideshare services are prohibited from entering the Exposition Park area until 45 to 60 minutes after the event — a post-game traffic management measure that leaves anyone waiting on a ride standing on Vermont Avenue during the surge window while the lanes clear. For a group of 30 people, that means 7 to 8 separate surge-priced rides, all arriving at different times, regrouping across a street that is at pedestrian capacity.

A party bus waits during the game and is right there when your group walks out of Gate 19 or 23.

What Size Bus Does Your Group Need?

The right vehicle comes down to headcount and how much tailgate gear you are loading. Here is how our fleet breaks down for a Trojans game-day run.

Vehicle Typical seats Luggage / gear Best for Key amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to ~14 Modest — coolers, bags Small alumni groups, suite-level parties Premium leather, USB charging, tinted windows
Party bus (15–50 passengers) ~15–50 Onboard, lighter Fan groups wanting the tailgate to start on the ride Built-in bar, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Overhead plus some underfloor Mid-size groups, quick hops from Westside hotels or downtown Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Excellent — deep undercarriage bays Large alumni sections, corporate game-day outings, out-of-town groups Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays

For Trojans fan groups wanting the energy to start on the way to the Coliseum — not just inside the gates — a 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and a premium Bluetooth sound system to keep Fight On playing from pickup to kickoff. For larger outings or groups coming in from the Inland Empire, Orange County, or the South Bay, a full-size charter bus gives you enough undercarriage bay space for folding chairs, coolers, and tailgate gear, plus an onboard restroom for the ride home after the final whistle. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let our team know before your game date.

Charter Bus Prices for a USC Game at the Coliseum

Party Bus In Los Angeles CA provides all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds online — you will know the exact number before you ever book. Your quote is shaped by a few clear factors: vehicle size, total hours (including pregame arrival and post-game staging), your pickup location across the LA metro, and the event date. A primetime Saturday matchup against Michigan runs differently than an early-season non-conference noon game in terms of demand.

For real ranges to anchor your estimate: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500 for a full day. The State Drive bus parking reservation ($40, purchased separately through USC Game Management) is a separate line item — not included in the bus quote.

Here is the per-head math that settles it. A 40-passenger party bus for an 8-hour game-day block comes to roughly $2,400–$2,800 all-in — around $60–$70 per person split across the group. Compare that to 10 separate cars, each paying $50 for a campus parking structure, each navigating the 0.9-mile walk in from Grand Avenue, and each sitting in the post-game closure crawl on I-110 for 45 minutes afterward.

The bus wins on convenience every time past 15 people. Check out our party bus prices page or call 310-943-9118 for a free, no-obligation quote.

A Real Game-Day Run

To put a real number behind it: for a Michigan night game last October, a 36-person alumni group booked a 40-passenger party bus with pickup from a hotel in Westwood at 4:00 PM. The group was dropped curbside on Figueroa Street near Gate 29 by 5:15 PM — two-plus hours before the 7:30 PM kickoff. The undercarriage bays held a folding table, a 48-quart cooler, and tailgate supplies.

The group used the Alumni Memorial Park Trojan Family tailgate zone, walked to the gates by 6:45 PM, and the bus waited nearby for a 10:30 PM pickup after the final whistle. The 7-hour all-inclusive rental came to $2,100 — about $58 per person, with the parking scramble, the walk, and the post-game rideshare ban all solved in one flat number.

Getting to the Coliseum: Routes, Drive Times, and the I-110 Problem

The Coliseum sits at the intersection of I-110 and I-10 in South LA — which means your drive in and your drive out both funnel through one of the single worst interchange bottlenecks in California. Here are approximate drive times from common pickup zones before event traffic.

From… Approx. distance Off-peak drive time
Downtown LA / DTLA hotels ~3 miles 10–15 minutes
Westside / Santa Monica ~15 miles 25–40 minutes
Hollywood / Los Feliz ~8 miles 20–30 minutes
Pasadena ~15 miles 25–40 minutes
Long Beach / South Bay ~20–25 miles 30–45 minutes
Orange County (Anaheim/Irvine) ~35–45 miles 45–70 minutes
LAX ~12 miles 20–35 minutes
San Fernando Valley / Burbank ~20–25 miles 35–55 minutes

Those off-peak times can double or triple on game day. The I-110 approaches from both the north and south compact well before kickoff for primetime games, and the 10 East inbound from the Westside becomes gridlocked on afternoon Saturday kickoffs by early afternoon. For a noon kickoff, the Coliseum neighborhood is already at capacity by 10 AM.

Plan arrival at least two to two-and-a-half hours before kickoff to have any tailgate window; for primetime games like the Michigan night game or the UCLA crosstown rivalry on Nov. 29, plan for three hours and confirm approach routing when you book.

Tailgating at USC: What Your Group Actually Gets to Do

USC's tailgating setup is more structured than most Big Ten stadiums, and knowing the rules before game day saves your group real headaches. Here is the honest breakdown based on the university's 2025 game-day tailgating guidance.

  • On-campus tailgating requires a permit, reserved three weeks in advance. Walk-up tailgating on campus is prohibited. Setup begins six hours before kickoff and must be cleared by game time. If your group wants a formal tailgate setup with tents and a spread, you need to plan this — it does not just happen.
  • The Trojan Family Game Day Experience in Alumni Memorial Park is the open public alternative — no personal setup required, with games, TVs, and seating provided. It works well for groups who want a gathering point without the permit logistics.
  • Exposition Park is not governed by USC. The Exposition Park perimeter around the Coliseum operates under LA Rec & Parks rules, not the university's tailgate policy — which means your party bus, waiting nearby, works as your tailgate base. Undercarriage bays hold the coolers, folding chairs, and snacks; your group gathers around the bus before walking in.
  • No glass containers on campus. Use cans or reusable containers. Alcohol must be kept to moderate consumption, and any violation results in revoked tailgating privileges for the season.

For most out-of-town alumni groups and large fan parties, the bus itself is the tailgate — which is exactly why the party bus format works so well for Trojans game days. The LED lighting, the built-in bar, and the sound system mean the energy is running from the moment you board, not just when you finally clear the parking structure entrance.

Flying In? Airport Pickups and Hotel Loops

For Big Ten marquee games — Michigan, Iowa, Northwestern, and the crosstown UCLA rivalry on Nov. 29 — a significant share of any large alumni group flies into Los Angeles. The two closest major airports are LAX, about 12 miles west of the Coliseum, and Bob Hope/Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), about 20 miles north. A single charter bus picks up your group from baggage claim at either airport and runs straight to the hotel or directly to the game, instead of splitting 30 people across eight rideshares during the Saturday afternoon surge.

Hotel-to-Coliseum loops are one of the most common runs we do for USC game-day groups. A bus picking up from two or three Westside hotels — Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, or Century City — gets your entire out-of-town crew to the Coliseum together, nobody waiting for a late rideshare, nobody navigating the 10 East on their own. For game-weekend groups that have dinner reservations in DTLA or drinks in Los Feliz after the game, the same bus handles those stops on the return run.

You set the itinerary; we handle the route.

The 2025 Home Schedule: When Demand Is Highest

USC plays seven home games at the Coliseum in 2025. Booking windows matter — not every game hits the same demand ceiling, and knowing which dates tighten the supply helps you lock in before options narrow.

Date Opponent Kickoff (PT) Network Booking urgency
Sat, Aug 30 vs. Missouri State 4:30 PM Big Ten Network Season opener — moderate
Sat, Sep 6 vs. Georgia Southern 4:30 PM FS1 Moderate
Sat, Sep 20 vs. Michigan State 8:00 PM FOX High — primetime Big Ten game
Sat, Oct 11 vs. Michigan 4:30 PM TBA Very high — marquee rivalry matchup
Fri, Nov 7 vs. Northwestern 6:00 PM FOX High — Friday night under the lights
Sat, Nov 15 vs. Iowa 12:00 PM / 12:30 PM TBA Moderate
Sat, Nov 29 vs. UCLA TBA TBA Very high — crosstown rivalry, closes season

The Michigan matchup on October 11 and the UCLA crosstown rivalry on November 29 are the two dates to lock in earliest. Both draw large alumni travel groups from out of town, vehicles book up fastest for those dates, and post-game transportation demand spikes as the rideshare surge compounds with the street closure window. If you are planning a Michigan or UCLA game group trip, reach out as soon as the date is confirmed.

Two to four weeks of lead time is workable for most other dates — but the earlier you call, the more vehicle options remain.

The Groups We Cover to the Coliseum

Different groups, same goal: everyone arrives together, nobody draws straws for who stays sober on the 110 home. A few of the runs we handle most often for Trojans games:

  • Alumni fan groups and reunion parties. The classic Trojans game-day bus — 20 to 50 people from the same graduating class or fraternity chapter, the party bus format with the bar and LED lights running from the hotel lobby to Figueroa Street. No one is counting drinks. No one is navigating.
  • Corporate and client outings. Companies with suite or club-level tickets moving executives and clients from DTLA offices or hotel blocks to the Coliseum. The minibus or charter bus format keeps the group together and on schedule without anyone stressing about parking.
  • Out-of-town groups flying in for marquee matchups. One airport pickup at LAX or Burbank, straight to the hotel and then to the game, no rental cars, no caravan across LA. The airport-to-Coliseum run is one of our most common game-day requests.
  • Greek chapter and student section groups. Large groups from USC-adjacent neighborhoods — University Village, Jefferson Park, West Adams — that want a coordinated ride instead of walking from scattered parking to the same gates.
  • Family groups for homecoming, rivalry weekend, or a first Coliseum experience. A comfortable charter bus from Orange County or the Inland Empire makes the drive into South LA feel like part of the event rather than something to dread.

Tips for Visiting the Coliseum

A few things every group should know before game day, straight from USC and the Coliseum's published policies:

  • Exposition Park lots are permit-only with no cash options. If you are not in a USC-distributed permit lot, you are parking on campus (0.6–0.9 miles from the gates) or arriving by transit or bus. There is no driving up and paying at the gate for most events.
  • Clear bag policy in effect. Per the USC clear bag policy, each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12″ × 6″ × 12″ or a one-gallon Ziploc-style bag, plus a small clutch no larger than a hand. Backpacks, fanny packs, and non-clear bags are prohibited. Walker's Lockers operates bag check outside Gate 28 starting two hours before kickoff for $12–$20.
  • Mobile tickets only — no screenshots. Download tickets to your phone wallet before you leave. Screenshots are not accepted at the gates and create lines. Make sure every person in your group has their ticket loaded before the bus pulls up to the Coliseum.
  • Arrive 30 minutes before kickoff at minimum. Metal detector screening applies to all guests, and a 30-person group takes time to move through. Build in buffer, especially for primetime games with peak gate crowds.
  • Left turns prohibited on approach roads. Most entry into Exposition Park on game days is right-turn only. Left-turn pockets on Figueroa, Exposition, and MLK Blvd. are closed by traffic control from kickoff through the post-game closure window.
  • Post-game road closures begin at Q3. Exposition, Figueroa, and MLK Jr. Blvd. all go to one-way or full-close from the end of the third quarter to 60 minutes after the game. If you are meeting a bus, agree on a pickup spot and window before kickoff — do not try to sort it out after the final whistle when 77,000 people are exiting simultaneously.

Leaving the Coliseum After the Game

The post-game exit is where the Coliseum's I-110/I-10 location really hurts. Both freeways take direct access traffic simultaneously, with the LAPD running one-way flow patterns on Figueroa and Exposition beginning at the end of the third quarter and holding the closures for a full hour after the game. Rideshares cannot enter Exposition Park for 45 to 60 minutes post-game — which means your only options are walking to Vermont Avenue and waiting in the surge queue, or walking to the nearest Metro E Line station and hoping the train isn’t at capacity.

With a bus, you skip the entire calculation. Your group exits Gate 19 or 23, walks to the pre-agreed pickup spot on Figueroa or along the Exposition perimeter, and the bus is waiting — no surge, no 60-minute ban, no standing on Vermont Avenue. Because the bus is booked as a block of hours, it can hold the group’s belongings during the game and be in position for the post-game window before closures lock the area down.

We build the departure route around the Q3 closure plan for your specific game, so the group is moving before traffic control fully locks everything down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at the LA Memorial Coliseum?

Charter buses drop curbside along Figueroa Street on the western perimeter or Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. on the southern approach, near the nearest open gate for your ticket section. This puts your group steps from the gates — not 0.6 to 0.9 miles away like every campus parking structure. The exact drop-off point shifts by approach route and game-day traffic plan, which is why we confirm it for your specific event when you book.

Where does the bus park at the Coliseum during the game?

Bus and oversized vehicle parking is located at State Drive, at a rate of $40 per vehicle. All bus parking must be reserved in advance through USC Game Management at 213-740-4174 — there is no day-of bus parking sold at the lot. For USC football events, availability is extremely limited and fills quickly for marquee home games.

We help coordinate the bus parking reservation as part of the booking so it is not something you scramble for the week of the game.

How much does it cost to rent a bus to the Coliseum?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours (including pregame arrival and post-game staging), your pickup location across the LA metro, and the event date. As a range: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500 for a full day. The State Drive bus parking reservation ($40) is a separate cost.

Call 310-943-9118 or use our online tool for an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.

What roads close around the Coliseum on game days?

Exposition Boulevard, Figueroa Street, and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. all go to restricted or one-way flow from the end of the third quarter to approximately 60 minutes after the game. Left-turn pockets across the Exposition Park perimeter are closed during the event. Rideshare services are prohibited from entering Exposition Park for 45 to 60 minutes post-game.

We confirm the current approach and exit routing for your game date when you book and always recommend checking for any event-specific updates on USC Transportation's game-day transportation page.

What is the bag policy at the LA Memorial Coliseum for USC football?

Per the USC clear bag policy, each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12″ × 6″ × 12″ or a one-gallon Ziploc-style bag, plus a small clutch no larger than a hand. Backpacks, fanny packs, and non-clear bags are prohibited. Walker's Lockers bag check operates outside Gate 28 starting two hours before kickoff for $12–$20 if you need to check non-compliant items.

Can a party bus drop off directly at the Coliseum?

Yes. A party bus or minibus rental drops your group curbside along the Coliseum perimeter streets — Figueroa Street on the west side or MLK Blvd. on the south — steps from the gates. This is the single biggest logistical advantage over campus parking structures, where every fan parks 0.6 to 0.9 miles from the nearest gate and walks through Exposition Park to reach the Coliseum.

Can the bus stay with us for the tailgate and the game?

Yes. The bus is reserved as a block of hours. It can drop your group, hold tailgate gear and coolers in the undercarriage bays during the game, and wait nearby for an arranged post-game pickup.

You set that window with our team before kickoff so the bus is right there when you exit — no post-game Vermont Avenue surge queue.

Is there a shuttle service from campus parking to the Coliseum?

USC operates a complimentary shuttle from the Grand Avenue Parking Center to Pardee Way, beginning three hours before kickoff. Return trips start at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The Grand Avenue structure is 0.9 miles from the nearest Coliseum gate and charges $50 day-of.

For groups of more than a few people, a single bus covers the entire round trip for less per head than 10 campus parking passes.

How far in advance should we book for the Michigan or UCLA game?

As early as your group is confirmed. The Michigan matchup on October 11 and the UCLA crosstown rivalry on November 29 are the two dates where vehicles in South LA book up fastest — both draw heavy out-of-town alumni travel and large fan group bookings. Two to four weeks of lead time is workable for most regular-season home games; for those two marquee dates, book the moment your headcount is set.

Call 310-943-9118 right now to lock in your date before the right-size vehicles are committed.

Do you serve other LA sports venues?

Yes. We arrange the same group transportation to Crypto.com Arena for Clippers and Lakers games, SoFi Stadium for Rams and Chargers games, Dodger Stadium for playoff runs, BMO Stadium for LAFC matches, and the Hollywood Bowl for summer concerts. If your game-day group is making a weekend of it across multiple venues, we coordinate multi-stop itineraries.

Ask about it when you call.
