A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheering on the Ducks at Autzen Stadium
There is perhaps no experience more electric in Oregon than a Saturday game day at Autzen Stadium (2700 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Eugene, OR 97401). Although technically located just across the Willamette River, Springfield is the strategic staging ground for thousands of fans who flock to see the University of Oregon Ducks take the field. The stadium is renowned for being one of the loudest venues in college football, and the energy is palpable from the moment you arrive. However, with capacity crowds often exceeding 54,000 people, the traffic gridlock on the bridges and the exorbitant cost of parking can be a nightmare for a caravan of cars. This is where Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield steps in to elevate your experience.
When you book a private charter bus rental for a Ducks game, you eliminate the stress of splitting up your group or fighting for a parking spot miles away from the entrance. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage, perfect for hauling tents, coolers, grills, and cornhole sets for the ultimate tailgate party. We can pick your group up from your hotel in Springfield, such as the Holiday Inn Express or the Comfort Suites, and drop you off within walking distance of the stadium gates. After the game, while other fans are stuck in the parking lot bottleneck, your group can relax in reclining seats, enjoying the climate-controlled cabin while your driver navigates the post-game rush. It is the safest, most efficient way to enjoy Pac-12 (or Big Ten!) football action.
Tournament Travel to Willamalane Center for Sports and Recreation
Springfield is incredibly proud to be home to the Willamalane Center for Sports and Recreation (250 S 32nd St, Springfield, OR 97478). This massive, state-of-the-art facility is a premier destination for youth and amateur sports tournaments in the Pacific Northwest. Hosting everything from basketball and volleyball tournaments to wrestling meets and indoor soccer, Willamalane attracts teams from all over the West Coast. If you are a coach or a team manager, you know that keeping a team focused and together during a tournament weekend is half the battle. Relying on parents to carpool often results in late arrivals, lost players, and fragmented team spirit.
By securing a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield, you ensure that your athletes travel like pros. Our buses allow the team to review plays, rest before their matches, and bond as a unit. There is plenty of room for gear bags, uniforms, and equipment, keeping the aisles clear and comfortable. Furthermore, the Willamalane Center is located conveniently near many Springfield dining and lodging options. We can create a custom shuttle schedule that takes your team from their hotel to the sports complex, then out to a team dinner at a local favorite, ensuring that your schedule runs like clockwork. Whether you are competing on the hardwood or the mat, we provide the logistical support you need to bring home the trophy.
High School Rivalries at Silke Field and Hamlin Sports Complex
The spirit of competition runs deep in Springfield, particularly when it comes to our local high school athletics. Friday night lights are a tradition here, centered largely around Silke Field (located near Springfield High School at 875 7th St, Springfield, OR 97477) and the facilities utilized by Thurston High School. The rivalry between the Springfield Millers and the Thurston Colts is legendary in the region, drawing large crowds of alumni, students, and families. But it isn't just football; track and field, baseball, and soccer are huge parts of our community identity. Traveling to these games, especially for playoffs or regional championships, requires coordinated transport that is comfortable and reliable for student-athletes.
Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield is a trusted team for school districts and booster clubs throughout Lane County. We understand the specific comfort regulations required for student transportation. Our modern fleet is inspected regularly and driven by drivers who prioritize the comfort of your students above all else. Renting a charter bus for away games ensures that the team arrives rested and mentally prepared. For fan groups and bands, a charter bus offers a fun way to travel together to support the team without adding to the parking congestion at local high school venues. Whether you are heading to a playoff game in Portland or a local derby right here in Springfield, we have the fleet to accommodate teams of any size.
Summer Days at PK Park with the Emeralds
When the sun is shining in the Willamette Valley, there is no better place to be than PK Park (2760 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Eugene, OR 97401), home of the Eugene Emeralds. This minor league baseball team offers a fantastic, family-friendly atmosphere that is significantly more relaxed and affordable than the major leagues. Located right next to Autzen Stadium, it is easily accessible from Springfield. Group outings to see the "Ems" play are popular for company picnics, family reunions, and summer camps. However, coordinating a large group in a busy sports complex can be difficult, especially when trying to keep track of tickets and attendees.
A private bus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield transforms a simple baseball game into an all-day event. We can pick your group up from a designated location in Springfield—perhaps after a lunch at a local park—and shuttle you directly to the ballpark. You won't have to worry about the limited parking often caused by concurrent events at the nearby university facilities. Our buses feature air conditioning, which is a lifesaver during those hot July and August afternoons. If your group wants to stay for the post-game fireworks, your driver will be waiting ready to go the moment the show ends. It is the perfect way to enjoy America’s pastime without the hassle of driving.
Golf Outings and Outdoor Recreation in Lane County
Sports in Springfield aren't limited to stadiums and arenas; we are surrounded by some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the country, making this a haven for golfers and outdoor enthusiasts. Courses like the Pine Ridge Golf Club (formerly Springfield Golf Club, located at 90333 Sunderman Rd, Springfield, OR 97478) offer challenging play with stunning views of the surrounding hills. For those organizing a corporate golf retreat or a bachelor party, transportation is key. Golf bags are bulky, and fitting a foursome plus clubs into a standard sedan is a tight squeeze. Our minibus rentals offer dedicated storage space for clubs, ensuring they aren't damaged in transit.
Beyond the greens, Springfield is the gateway to the McKenzie River. Groups flock here for rafting, fishing, and hiking. If you are planning a group adventure to Emerald Valley BMX or heading out for a day of whitewater rafting, a charter bus serves as your mobile base of operations. We can drop you off at the launch point and pick you up downriver, or transport your group to the trailhead. After a long day of physical activity, there is nothing better than sinking into a plush, reclining seat and letting a driver handle the drive back to the city. Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield makes accessing the great outdoors easy and comfortable for groups of all sizes.
Best Places for Pre-Game Food and Drinks in Springfield
No sports trip is complete without great food and drinks, and Springfield has developed a reputation for excellent local fare that rivals our neighbors across the river. Before you head to the stadium, you'll want to fuel up. One of the absolute must-visit spots is Hop Valley Brewing Company (980 Kruse Way, Springfield, OR 97477). This brewery is a staple of the local culture, offering a spacious patio, fantastic pub food, and some of the best IPAs in the Northwest. It is the perfect meeting point for a group before boarding your charter bus to the game.
For a more family-centric atmosphere with a view, consider Roaring Rapids Pizza Company (4006 Franklin Blvd, Eugene, OR 97403), located right on the edge of Springfield and Glenwood along the Willamette River. Their outdoor carousel and riverside seating make it a hit for youth sports teams celebrating a tournament win. When you rent with Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield, you have the flexibility to create a custom itinerary. We can pick your group up, stop at Hop Valley or Roaring Rapids for a pre-game meal, take you to the event, and then drop you off comfortably at home or your hotel. You don't have to worry about drinking and driving or coordinating reservations for 20 cars. We keep the group together so the fun never stops.

Frequently Asked Questions About Springfield Sports Transportation
How much storage space is there for tailgating gear?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage luggage bays. This space is perfect for storing coolers, folding chairs, small grills, tents, and cornhole boards. If you are renting a minibus (18-25 passengers), storage space is more limited and usually restricted to overhead bins or a small rear compartment. If you plan on bringing extensive tailgating equipment, we highly recommend booking a full-size motorcoach to ensure everything fits comfortably without cramping the passenger cabin.
Do you shuttle to Eugene for UO games?
Absolutely! This is one of our most popular services during the fall. While we are based in Springfield, crossing the river to Eugene is a seamless part of our operation. We can pick your group up from any location in Springfield, Eugene, or the surrounding Lane County area and drop you off at the designated charter bus zones near Autzen Stadium or Matthew Knight Arena. We can also arrange for round-trip service to ensure you have a comfortable ride waiting for you after the final whistle.
How far in advance should we book for football season?
Football season, particularly for University of Oregon home games, is the busiest time of year for transportation in our area. We strongly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as the schedule is released, or at least 3 to 6 months in advance. Buses sell out quickly for big rivalry games (like Oregon vs. Oregon State or Washington). Booking early not only guarantees availability but also helps you lock in the best possible pricing before demand drives rates up.
Is there parking for the bus at the stadiums?
Most major venues, including Autzen Stadium and PK Park, have specific lots designated for charter buses and oversized vehicles. However, these passes often need to be purchased in advance and can be more expensive than standard car parking. While Charter Bus Rental Company Springfield handles the driving, the cost of parking is the responsibility of the renting group. Our reservation agents can help advise you on the current parking procedures for specific Springfield and Eugene venues when you set up your trip.
