Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to Highland Park Sports Venues & Arenas
Because Highlandpark
American Airlines Center (Home of the Dallas Stars and the Dallas Mavericks)
What could be better than heading just three miles south of Highland Park to American Airlines Center without fighting Victory Park parking garages? Book a party bus rental or minibus so your entire fan group rides together to cheer on the Mavs or Stars!
Major Roadways to American Airlines Center
Groups departing from Highland Park can cruise straight south down the Dallas North Tollway or take local surface routes like Turtle Creek Boulevard and Oak Lawn Avenue directly into Victory Park. Out-of-town fans and visiting teams typically connect via I-35E (Stemmons Freeway) or Woodall Rodgers Freeway (Spur 366). From there, Victory Avenue and Olive Street lead directly to the arena perimeter.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at American Airlines Center
Charter buses, minibuses, and party buses use the designated active loading and unloading zones along Victory Avenue near the Silver Garage. Because the on-site parking garages have strict vertical height clearances that prohibit high-roof vehicles, all oversized buses must load and unload curbside on the surface streets. Have your entire group gathered at the AT&T Plaza south entrance before your driver pulls up, as Dallas enforces a strict five-minute commercial idling limit.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at American Airlines Center
Oversized vehicles, motorcoaches, and party buses can park in the surface Lexus Reserve / Lot M or the Inspiration Lot located just across I-35E off North Houston Street and Inspiration Drive. If you only booked a drop-off and pickup transfer, your driver can stage along approved sections of North Houston Street or return to a nearby commercial lot until the fourth quarter ends. Keep in mind that American Airlines Center strictly prohibits tailgating in all official arena lots 24/7.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Expect heavy congestion along the Dallas North Tollway south exit ramps and Oak Lawn Avenue starting 90 minutes before tip-off or puck drop. The Dallas Police Department closes portions of Victory Avenue, Olive Street, and North Houston Street to through-traffic roughly one hour before and after events for pedestrians. Plan to depart Highland Park at least 60 to 90 minutes early so your group can walk right into the arena stress-free!
Globe Life Field (Home of the Texas Rangers)
With Highlandpark
Major Roadways to Globe Life Field
From Highland Park, your driver will head south on the Dallas North Tollway or US-75 to connect with I-30 West (Tom Landry Freeway), the primary east-west corridor linking Dallas and Arlington. From I-30, exit onto SH 360 or Ballpark Way and follow Nolan Ryan Expressway and Randol Mill Road directly to the stadium lots.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Globe Life Field
Curbside passenger unloading is strictly prohibited along the public walkways and main stadium gates on Stadium Drive and Randol Mill Road. Instead, charter buses must enter the designated oversized vehicle area in Lot D (entering via Entrada D7 off Arlington Downs Road) to safely load and unload groups.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Globe Life Field
Official charter bus parking at Globe Life Field is located in Lot D off Arlington Downs Road and typically costs around $100 per bus. Because parking fees are separate from your bus rental quote, we recommend purchasing your oversized parking pass in advance or having a card ready at the gate, as all Rangers lots are 100% cashless. Your bus can remain parked in Lot D for the entire game, making it super easy for your group to meet back at the vehicle after the final out! Just remember that while tailgating is allowed in select perimeter grassy areas, it is prohibited in Lots A, B, and T.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
When a Texas Rangers game overlaps with an event next door at AT&T Stadium or Choctaw Stadium, gridlock along Randol Mill Road, Collins Street, and Legends Way can add 45 minutes to your arrival. Build an extra hour into your departure from Highland Park during weekday rush hour so nobody misses the first pitch!
AT&T Stadium (Home of the Dallas Cowboys)
That's why so many Highland Park alumni groups, corporate hosts, and football fans use our website to compare buses for game day at AT&T Stadium! Whether you want a 15- to 50-passenger party bus with LED lighting and Bluetooth sound or a 56-passenger charter bus with undercarriage bays for all your tailgating tents and coolers, you can book online in minutes.
Major Roadways to AT&T Stadium
Your bus will travel west from the Dallas core along I-30 (Tom Landry Freeway) and take the exits for Collins Street (FM 157) or Ballpark Way. From there, local connectors including Randol Mill Road, Division Street, and AT&T Way guide commercial vehicles directly into the stadium perimeter.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at AT&T Stadium
If your vehicle is dropping off and leaving rather than parking for the game, AT&T Stadium provides two designated drop-off zones: the north side of Randol Mill Road at Lot 1 and the south side of Cowboys Way at Lot 6. Please note that these quick drop-off lanes are designed for smaller shuttles like a sprinter van with a driver or a 15-passenger minibus, while full-size motorcoaches are directed to the bus lots. After the game, all passenger pickups take place near the Miller LiteHouse entrance adjacent to North Collins Street and Cowboys Way. Once you book online through our national booking platform, our confirmation department will call you to verify these exact pickup coordinates!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at AT&T Stadium
Full-size charter buses and party buses staying for the game park in designated bus spaces in Lot 14 and Lot 15 off Randol Mill Road on a first-come, first-served basis, with payment collected upon arrival. Tailgating is permitted in designated perimeter spaces within Lots 14 and 15, so your whole Highland Park group can fire up the grill right behind the bus before kickoff!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Arlington police close portions of Cowboys Way, Collins Street, and Division Street before kickoff and immediately after the fourth quarter to manage heavy pedestrian crowds. Because Lot 14 and Lot 15 bus spaces cannot be reserved in advance for standard NFL games, we strongly recommend arriving three to four hours before kickoff when parking gates open. Leaving Highland Park early also lets your driver bypass bottleneck delays at the I-30 and SH 360 interchange. When the game ends, gather everyone at the Miller LiteHouse or your Lot 14/15 space so you can roll out together without waiting on surge-priced rideshares!
Toyota Stadium (Home of the FC Dallas)
Highlandpark
Major Roadways to Toyota Stadium
Traveling from Highland Park to Toyota Stadium is a straight shot north up the Dallas North Tollway (DNT), taking Exit 30 for Main Street (FM 720) or Cotton Gin Road in Frisco. From the tollway frontage road (Dallas Parkway), your bus will turn west onto Main Street or Cotton Gin Road to reach World Cup Way and Frisco Street.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Toyota Stadium
Charter buses can drop off fan groups and visiting rosters along World Cup Way near the North Entrance or along Technology Drive on the south side of the stadium complex. If your group is competing at the adjacent 17-field Toyota Soccer Center, your driver can unload players and gear directly at the field-side perimeter lots off All Stars Avenue and Legacy Drive. Make sure your group unloads promptly so your driver does not block the active stadium traffic lanes.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Toyota Stadium
Oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is available in the spacious surface lots surrounding the stadium, particularly the Red Lot (north of Main Street) and the Blue Lot off World Cup Way. Coordinate with Toyota Stadium parking operations prior to match day to confirm which lot is designated for buses during your specific event or concert.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Evening matches and major concerts at Toyota Stadium overlap directly with northbound rush hour on the Dallas North Tollway between Mockingbird Lane, I-635, and Plano. In addition, World Cup Way between Main Street and Cotton Gin Road frequently closes to general vehicle traffic before kickoff, so plan to depart Highland Park at least 90 minutes before gates open!
Quick Tips for Highland Park Game-Day Charter Bus Groups
Whether you are heading five minutes over to Moody Coliseum for SMU basketball or taking a road trip across Texas, always confirm stadium clear-bag policies, pre-purchase oversized bus parking passes, and exchange cell numbers with your driver before unloading. Remember that Dallas and Arlington strictly enforce five-minute commercial anti-idling ordinances, so gather your entire group at your designated meetup gate before texting your driver to pull up to the curb!
