Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to Temple City Sports Venues & Arenas
It's never been easier to plan your group's arrival and departure at Southern California's biggest stadiums when you book a Temple City sporting event charter bus rental. Use our stadium-by-stadium breakdown below to see exact bus loading zones, oversized vehicle parking lots, and freeway routes from Temple City so your driver and group stay right on schedule!
Rose Bowl Stadium (Home of the UCLA Bruins)
Waiting in post-game rideshare lines down in the Arroyo Seco is a thing of the past when your fan group or team rides together to Rose Bowl Stadium, located just 20 minutes northwest of Temple City. Compare bus types in one quick search and lock in a private shuttle for UCLA Bruins football games, the Rose Bowl Game, or major concerts!
Major Roadways to Rose Bowl Stadium
Groups departing Temple City typically head north on Rosemead Boulevard (CA-19) or Baldwin Avenue to connect with I-210 West (Foothill Freeway) into Pasadena. From I-210 West, charter buses exit at Seco Street / Mountain Street or Lincoln Avenue and follow directional signage down into the Arroyo Seco basin. If you are coming from the western San Gabriel Valley, CA-134 (Ventura Freeway) to the Orange Grove Boulevard exit provides a secondary approach. Your driver will monitor freeway bottlenecks near the I-210 and CA-134 interchange to keep your arrival smooth.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Rose Bowl Stadium
Because the Rose Bowl sits inside a residential canyon with narrow two-lane access roads, curbside drop-offs outside the designated zones are strictly prohibited by Pasadena Police. Charter buses and minibuses must follow the dedicated ingress route down Seco Street or Washington Boulevard directly into the designated bus loading and parking area on the east side of the stadium. Passengers unload directly at their assigned bus stall rather than at a temporary curb, making it easy for your whole group to remember exactly where to return after the fourth quarter. Always gather your entire group before walking back to the bus lot so everyone boards together.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Rose Bowl Stadium
Oversized vehicles, 56-passenger charter buses, and party buses park in Lot B (the dedicated Bus & RV Lot located along West Drive and Seco Street just east of the stadium gates). You can pre-purchase oversized bus parking passes online through the official Rose Bowl parking portal, and your bus remains parked in Lot B for the entire game so tailgating and post-game boarding happen in one spot!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On UCLA football Saturdays and major concert dates, the City of Pasadena closes the Arroyo Seco loop roads (including Rose Bowl Drive, West Drive, and Seco Street) to general cut-through traffic starting four to six hours before kickoff. California law also enforces a strict five-minute commercial engine idling limit inside the Arroyo. Plan to depart Temple City at least three hours before kickoff so your bus clears the Seco Street checkpoint with plenty of time to spare. After the final whistle, police convert the canyon roads into one-way outbound lanes toward I-210.
Dodger Stadium (Home of the Los Angeles Dodgers)

Major Roadways to Dodger Stadium
From Temple City, your bus will take Rosemead Boulevard south to I-10 West (San Bernardino Freeway), transition onto US-101 North or I-110 North (Pasadena Freeway), and approach Chavez Ravine via Stadium Way or Vin Scully Avenue. On afternoon and evening game days, buses can also use the dedicated Sunset Boulevard bus lanes to bypass surface street congestion. Your driver will select the best gate approach based on real-time Elysian Park traffic.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Dodger Stadium
If your charter bus is only dropping off and picking up without staying in the stadium lots, your driver can unload passengers at Sunset Gate A (at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Vin Scully Avenue), where groups walk up Vin Scully Avenue to the gates. Remember that Dodger Stadium enforces a strict no-idling policy and does not allow commercial vehicles to stage at the curb. For post-game pickups, coordinate a group meeting spot near the Top of the Park store or outside your section gate, and wait until everyone is together before walking down to meet your driver. If you purchase on-site bus parking, your group simply unloads and reloads right at your assigned lot space!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Dodger Stadium
Dodger Stadium offers dedicated oversized vehicle and charter bus parking inside the main gates, primarily in Lot 12 or designated sections near the Sunset Gate and Academy Gate, with advance passes costing less than day-of gate rates. Tailgating is strictly prohibited in all Dodger Stadium parking lots, so enjoy your pre-game playlist and party bus amenities while rolling down I-10!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Parking gates at Dodger Stadium typically open 2.5 hours before first pitch, and the surrounding Echo Park and Chinatown streets (including Academy Road, Stadium Way, and Sunset Boulevard) back up quickly during weekday evening rush hour. For 7:10 p.m. weeknight games, leaving Temple City by 4:15 p.m. helps your group beat the I-10 West commuter crunch. After the final out, LAPD directs buses out through dedicated exit lanes toward I-110 and US-101.
Crypto.com Arena (Home of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Kings and the Los Angeles Sparks)
That's why so many basketball and hockey fans use Templecity
Major Roadways to Crypto.com Arena
Traveling from Temple City to the L.A. LIVE district covers roughly 15 miles west via I-10 West (San Bernardino Freeway) straight into Downtown Los Angeles. Charter buses typically exit I-10 West at Grand Avenue / Pico Boulevard or transition onto I-110 North (Harbor Freeway) and take the Pico Boulevard / Chick Hearn Court exit into the South Park neighborhood. Figueroa Street, Olympic Boulevard, and Pico Boulevard serve as the primary surface corridors framing the arena.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Crypto.com Arena
Charter buses, minibuses, and party buses unload passengers along the designated white commercial loading zone on Chick Hearn Court (11th Street) between Figueroa Street and Georgia Street, or along Figueroa Street directly east of the arena entrances. Because Downtown LA traffic officers strictly enforce active loading only (with a maximum 5-minute limit), have your group's digital tickets ready before pulling up to the curb, and gather everyone at Star Plaza or L.A. LIVE before requesting your post-game pickup.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Crypto.com Arena
The subterranean parking garages at L.A. LIVE (West Garage and East Garage) have vertical height clearances between 6'6" and 8'2", meaning full-size motorcoaches and high-roof minibuses cannot enter. Instead, oversized charter buses park in designated surface lots operated by the Los Angeles Convention Center or private surface lots along Pico Boulevard, Albany Street, and Venice Boulevard just south of the arena. If you are booking a smaller 20-passenger minibus or sprinter van with a driver, your vehicle can stage at nearby off-site surface lots and pull back up to Chick Hearn Court in minutes. Remember that arena parking fees are separate from your bus quote.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On Lakers and Kings game nights—and especially when an expo is running simultaneously at the adjacent Los Angeles Convention Center—Chick Hearn Court between Figueroa Street and Georgia Street is frequently closed to all vehicle traffic two hours before tip-off. When Chick Hearn Court closes, drivers use the alternate white-curb drop-off zones along Figueroa Street or Olympic Boulevard near L.A. LIVE.
SoFi Stadium (Home of the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers)
Templecity
Major Roadways to SoFi Stadium
Situated inside Hollywood Park in Inglewood about 25 miles southwest of Temple City, SoFi Stadium is reached by taking I-10 West to I-110 South (Harbor Freeway), and then connecting to I-105 West (Century Freeway). Charter buses exit I-105 West at Prairie Avenue or Crenshaw Boulevard and head north toward Century Boulevard and Manchester Boulevard. An alternate route for groups avoiding Downtown LA is taking I-605 South to I-105 West. Prairie Avenue, Century Boulevard, and Pincay Drive border the stadium campus.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at SoFi Stadium
Charter buses that are only dropping off and picking up passengers use the designated commercial loading zone along northbound Kareem Court (accessed via Pincay Drive or Manchester Boulevard on the northeast side of Hollywood Park). Buses cannot use the rideshare lot on Karl Malone Drive, and drivers must depart the drop-off zone immediately after passengers step off.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at SoFi Stadium
If you want your charter bus or party bus to stay on site during the game, oversized vehicle and bus parking is located in the Green Zone (Lot L), entered via Century Boulevard and Yukon Avenue on the south side of the stadium. Bus parking passes at SoFi Stadium must be purchased in advance online, as passes frequently sell out before NFL Sundays and major stadium concerts. For drop-off-only trips, drivers stage off-site outside the Inglewood residential permit zones and return to Kareem Court once your entire group is assembled at the pickup curb after the game. Note that tailgating is only allowed in the Pink Zone, not in the bus lot.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
The City of Inglewood enforces strict residential permit parking and temporary lane restrictions along Prairie Avenue, Century Boulevard, Manchester Boulevard, and Pincay Drive starting four hours before kickoff. When events at the adjacent Kia Forum or Intuit Dome overlap with a SoFi Stadium game, Inglewood traffic can add 45 to 60 minutes to your approach from I-105. We recommend departing Temple City at least 3.5 to 4 hours before kickoff so your group can breeze through security and explore American Airlines Plaza. After the game, Inglewood Police direct commercial buses out along dedicated outbound lanes toward I-105 and I-405.

Major Roadways to Angel Stadium
Located in Anaheim roughly 32 miles southeast of Temple City, Angel Stadium is one of the most motorcoach-friendly ballparks in Southern California. Your driver will typically head south on Rosemead Boulevard (CA-19) to I-605 South (San Gabriel River Freeway), connect with I-5 South (Santa Ana Freeway) or CA-91 East to CA-57 South (Orange Freeway), and exit directly at Katella Avenue or Orangewood Avenue. The stadium sits inside a triangle formed by I-5, CA-57, and Katella Avenue. Using CA-57 South gives buses direct access to the eastern stadium gates.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Angel Stadium
Charter buses can enter through the Douglass Road gate (off Katella Avenue), the State College Boulevard gate, or the Gene Autry Way gate to drop passengers off inside the stadium perimeter near the giant Big A sign or Home Plate Gate. If your bus is not staying to park, let the toll booth attendant know you are conducting an active group drop-off and set a clear post-game meeting spot near the gigantic baseball helmets outside the Home Plate entrance.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Angel Stadium
Unlike tight urban arenas, Angel Stadium features expansive surface parking lots that easily accommodate full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches and party buses right on site near the Big A sign on the east side of the ballpark (accessed off Douglass Road or Katella Avenue). Oversized bus parking is paid upon entry at the stadium toll booths (cashless credit/debit card payment required), and your bus stays parked in the lot for the whole game so your group can walk right out and climb aboard after the ninth inning!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Main parking gates at Angel Stadium open 2.5 hours prior to the scheduled first pitch. Because the ballpark sits right next to the Honda Center and just two miles east of the Disneyland Resort, evening traffic on I-5 South, CA-57, and Katella Avenue gets heavy between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Leaving Temple City at least 2.5 to 3 hours before game time ensures your bus clears the Orange Crush freeway interchange and gets parked long before the national anthem!
Quick Tips for Temple City Game-Day Charter Bus Groups
Finding group transportation for game day is simple when you keep a few stadium rules in mind! California enforces a statewide 5-minute commercial vehicle idling limit, and Southern California stadiums require clear bags (up to 12" x 6" x 12") at the security gates—meaning you can leave your extra jackets, coolers, and backpacks locked safely inside your private bus during the game. Plus, once you book your bus online through the national booking platform, a dedicated confirmation department calls you to verify every pickup time, stadium gate, and drop-off stop on your itinerary!
