A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Chelsea Piers Connecticut
Chelsea Piers Connecticut is the gold standard for multi-sport complexes in the Northeast. Spanning over 400,000 square feet, this facility is a constant hive of activity for amateur athletes and professional trainers alike. It features two NHL-sized ice rinks, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and a massive 100-yard indoor turf field. It isn’t just a place to practice; it’s a destination for high-stakes regional tournaments and collegiate showcases.
Planning an intensive training camp or a multi-team scrimmage? Chelsea Piers CT offers specialized event spaces and state-of-the-art meeting rooms for strategy sessions and team awards. These areas can be configured for intimate coaching clinics or large-scale athletic banquets. The complex even provides in-house catering and planning services to ensure your event runs as smoothly as a well-executed play.
For visitors, the "CPCT" experience extends to the Crossover Bar & Grille, where fans can grab a meal while watching the action on the rinks below. If your athletes need to kill time between games, the facility also includes a world-class gymnastics center and a massive trampolining park to burn off extra energy. Groups traveling for swim meets or hockey playoffs can take advantage of the dedicated locker rooms and recovery zones designed for elite performance.
Address: 1 Blachley Rd, Stamford, CT 06902
Charter Bus Parking: The Chelsea Piers CT campus features a dedicated oversized vehicle loading zone near the North Entrance. Buses must enter via Blachley Road from East Main Street. Unlike smaller lots in downtown Stamford, the drivers can utilize the rear staging area to ensure the bus is out of the way while your team competes, returning to the front loop exactly when your session ends.
Stamford Twin Rinks
Located in the Springdale neighborhood, Stamford Twin Rinks is a cornerstone of the local hockey and figure skating community. For over 25 years, this venue has hosted the Stamford Youth Hockey Association and numerous adult leagues. With its high-quality ice surfaces and professional coaching staff, it remains one of the most visited skating facilities in Fairfield County.
Beyond the ice, Twin Rinks offers a comprehensive experience for spectators and players. The Hope Street Cafe provides a warm vantage point to watch games, while the full-service pro shop ensures that no player is sidelined by a broken lace or an unsharpened blade. For teams looking for an edge, the facility includes an off-ice conditioning center designed specifically for hockey-specific movements.
Twin Rinks is also a popular host for private birthday parties and corporate team-building "Learn to Skate" events. The mezzanine level provides a private area for groups to gather and celebrate after a public skating session or a hard-fought game. Because of its location in a residential and industrial hybrid zone, finding street parking for multiple SUVs can be a challenge during peak league hours on weekends.
Address: 1063 Hope St, Stamford, CT 06907
Charter Bus Parking: The facility has a designated bus drop-off point at the main entrance. Because the parking lot can become congested during shift changes for youth leagues, your Charter Bus Stamford driver will typically unload the team at the curb and then stage the vehicle at a nearby overflow lot on Largo Drive, ensuring they are only a two-minute radio call away for the return trip.
J. Walter Kennedy Stadium
As the primary outdoor athletic venue for the city, Kennedy Stadium (located at Westhill High School) is where you’ll find the roar of the crowd during Friday night lights. This multi-purpose stadium serves as the home field for local high school football, soccer, and track and field. The facility recently underwent significant renovations, including a new turf surface and an upgraded lighting system to accommodate evening matches.
For local sports historians, the stadium is named after J. Walter Kennedy, the former NBA Commissioner and Stamford native. It’s a place where the local community gathers for some of the biggest rivalries in the FCIAC (Fairfield County Interscholastic Conference). Whether it’s the annual Thanksgiving Day football game or a regional track meet, the stadium offers a classic New England athletic atmosphere.
Address: 125 Roxbury Rd, Stamford, CT 06902
Charter Bus Parking: Buses should utilize the Roxbury Road entrance. There is a specific bus loading lane adjacent to the bleachers. The drivers avoid the Roxbury/Den Road intersection during school dismissal times to prevent delays. Once dropped off, our motorcoaches stage in the back of the high school lot near the tennis courts.
The NBC Sports Center
While you can’t buy a ticket to a game here, no sports guide to Stamford is complete without mentioning the NBC Sports International Broadcast Center. This 300,000-square-foot facility is the nerve center for Sunday Night Football, the Olympics, and the Premier League.
While public tours are restricted, the presence of the center makes Stamford a hub for visiting athletes and media professionals. The facility has transformed the surrounding Harbor Point and Waterside districts into a vibrant neighborhood with plenty of sports bars and waterfront dining options where fans gather to watch the very games being broadcast from across the street.
Address: 1 Blachley Rd, Stamford, CT 06902
Cubeta Stadium
If you’re looking for a more intimate baseball experience, Cubeta Stadium in Scalzi Park is the place to be. This 2,000-seat stadium is home to the Stamford American Legion baseball team and hosts several amateur tournaments throughout the summer. It offers a nostalgic, small-town ballpark feel with a covered grandstand that provides a great view of the diamond.
Scalzi Park itself offers additional amenities for sports fans, including lighted tennis courts, a skate park, and a splash pad for younger fans. It’s the perfect spot for a community sports outing where the group can enjoy a picnic before heading into the stadium to catch a game. Parking can be difficult on summer weekends when the park is at full capacity with families and various sports leagues.
Address: 100 Bridge St, Stamford, CT 06905
Charter Bus Parking: Buses must enter via the Bridge Street entrance. The parking lot at Scalzi Park has limited turning radius for 56-passenger motorcoaches. The drivers utilize the loading zone near the tennis courts and then stage the bus along Washington Boulevard to avoid blocking the internal park flow.
Stamford’s Proximity to Pro Arenas
One of the best parts about being a sports fan in Stamford is the proximity to New York City’s iconic venues. While Stamford doesn’t have its own MLB or NFL stadium, you are just a short ride away from the world’s biggest stages. Many local fan groups book our services for "away" games that feel like home games because they are so close.
For a Yankees or Mets game, the drive is typically 45 to 60 minutes. Heading to Madison Square Garden or the Barclays Center for a Knicks, Nets, or Rangers game is just as easy. Instead of navigating the Metro-North schedule or paying $60 for parking in Manhattan, our charter buses offer a direct door-to-door solution. You can start the pre-game celebration early on the bus with your fellow fans and arrive refreshed at the gate.
Charter Bus Parking for NYC Trips: When we take Stamford groups to Yankee Stadium, we utilize the commercial bus parking at the Quik Park Lot on 161st Street. For MetLife Stadium trips, we stage at the dedicated bus parking in Lot L. The drivers handle the tolls on the Whitestone or Throgs Neck bridges, so your group can focus on the final score.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stamford Sports Transportation
Where does a charter bus park for games at Kennedy Stadium?
Kennedy Stadium is located on the Westhill High School campus. Charter buses typically utilize the Roxbury Road entrance for passenger drop-off. Once the team or fan group has unloaded, the driver will stage the motorcoach in the designated oversized vehicle area at the far end of the student parking lot near the Roxbury Road exit to ensure they do not block local traffic or emergency access lanes.
Can we bring sports equipment and coolers on the bus?
Absolutely. When you book a 56-passenger motorcoach with Charter Bus Stamford, you have access to the full undercarriage storage bays. This is perfect for hockey bags, baseball gear, and large tailgating coolers. We recommend keeping the aisles clear inside the cabin by using the overhead bins for smaller items like backpacks and personal electronics.
How do you handle traffic on I-95 for New York stadium trips?
I-95 is notoriously unpredictable, especially near the "Stamford bottleneck." Our dispatch team monitors real-time traffic patterns and often coordinates with drivers to use the Merritt Parkway (for minibuses only due to height restrictions) or local backroutes like Route 1 when the highway is at a standstill. We typically recommend a "buffer" departure time to ensure your group reaches the stadium at least 60 minutes before the first pitch or kickoff.
Do you provide shuttles for recurring local league schedules?
Yes, we specialize in long-term contracts for local athletic organizations. If your team has a full season of away games across the FCIAC, we can set up a recurring schedule with a dedicated driver. This often results in more favorable pricing and ensures your team has a consistent, reliable mode of transportation for every game on the calendar.
What amenities are best for youth sports teams?
For youth teams, we highly recommend requesting a bus with onboard WiFi and power outlets. This allows players to stay entertained on longer drives to tournaments in places like Hartford or New Jersey. Onboard restrooms are also a top priority for youth groups to minimize unscheduled stops at rest areas, which keeps the team on their precise pre-game schedule.
