America First Field (Home of Real Salt Lake)
Ready to cheer on Real Salt Lake or the Utah Royals at America First Field in nearby Sandy? Located at 9256 S. State St, Sandy, UT 84070, this 20,000-seat soccer-specific stadium is just a quick 20-minute ride north from American Fork!
Major Roadways to America First Field
Your charter bus will head north from American Fork on I-15 N past the Point of the Mountain, then take Exit 295 (9000 South) or Exit 293 (10600 South) east toward State Street (US-89) for direct stadium access.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at America First Field
For smooth group unloading, your driver can drop passengers off along the designated curbside zones on 9000 South or near the North Gate off State Street. Because Sandy City police strictly restrict curbside idling along State Street and 9400 South on match days, have your entire group ready to step off together. After the final whistle, gather your group at the North Box Office plaza before signaling your driver to pull up for pickup. Your whole group skips the packed TRAX light rail platform and rides home together!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at America First Field
Oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is available in the surface lots north of the stadium, primarily in the North Lot off 9000 South or designated areas near the Sandy Expo Center. Bus parking passes must be arranged in advance through Real Salt Lake Guest Services, as standard car lots fill up hours before kickoff. If onsite bus stalls are sold out, your driver can stage off-site near Jordan Commons and return when your group is ready.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Expect heavy traffic backups on I-15, 9000 South, and State Street starting 90 minutes before kickoff and concerts. Portions of 9270 South (Monroe Street) and stadium access lanes close to general through-traffic on event days. Plan to depart American Fork at least two hours before match time so your group can enjoy pre-game festivities without rushing!
Delta Center (Home of the Utah Jazz)
No matter if you’re heading into Downtown Salt Lake City to watch the Utah Jazz, cheer on the Utah Hockey Club, or catch a sold-out arena tour, Delta Center at 301 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101 is the premier indoor venue in the state. Let a private bus rental handle the downtown gridlock for you!
Major Roadways to Delta Center
Traveling north from American Fork, your bus will take I-15 N for roughly 32 miles straight into Downtown Salt Lake City. From I-15 N, your driver can take the 600 South exit (Exit 306) and turn north onto 300 West or West Temple to reach the arena district. If your group is coming from the east bench or connecting via I-80 W, the 400 South corridor also leads directly toward the downtown core. Building in an extra 30 minutes during weekday evening rush hour is always a smart move!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Delta Center
Charter buses and minibuses typically drop groups off along the curb on 300 West (west of the arena) or along 100 South near The Gateway, avoiding the UTA TRAX light rail tracks on South Temple. Active loading and unloading is strictly limited to 5 minutes, and drivers must remain in the cab at all times. After the buzzer, have your group meet by the Karl Malone and John Stockton statues at the northeast plaza before walking to your pickup curb!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Delta Center
The attached Park Place Garage and underground Gateway garages have vertical height clearances under 7’0”, meaning full-size motorcoaches and high-roof 25-passenger minibuses cannot enter. Instead, oversized vehicles can use pre-paid surface spaces in the Crown Burger / Park Place surface lot at 300 West and North Temple or stage in industrial surface lots west of I-15 along 600 West. Once you book online, our confirmation department calls to verify your exact downtown drop-off and staging plan. That way, your ride is waiting right on schedule!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Salt Lake City Police close portions of South Temple and West Temple immediately surrounding Delta Center to regular vehicle traffic before and after Jazz and NHL games to protect pedestrian flow. Because downtown conventions at the nearby Salt Palace Convention Center often overlap with weeknight games, curb space fills up fast. Leaving American Fork early ensures your group breezes through security with plenty of time to grab food before tip-off!
Maverik Center (Home of the Salt Lake City Stars)
Get online pricing in under 30 seconds when you book group transportation to the Maverik Center in West Valley City! Located at 3200 S. Decker Lake Dr, West Valley City, UT 84119, this 12,000-seat multi-purpose arena hosts Utah Grizzlies ECHL hockey, Salt Lake City Stars G-League basketball, state high school tournaments, and major touring concerts. Whether you need a compact 18-passenger minibus for a youth hockey roster or a party bus for a concert group, our network has you covered. Skip the multi-car caravan and ride together!
Major Roadways to Maverik Center
From American Fork, your driver will take I-15 N to I-215 West (Belt Route), exiting at 3500 South (Exit 18) or taking I-15 Exit 303 (3300 South) west to Decker Lake Drive right beside the arena.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Maverik Center
Unlike cramped downtown stadiums, Maverik Center is surrounded by expansive surface lots that make group drop-offs super simple. Your charter bus can enter from Decker Lake Drive or 3100 South and unload passengers along the east curb near the main box office entrance. After the event, meet your group near the main east staircase so everyone boards together without waiting in the rideshare line!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Maverik Center
One of the biggest perks of taking a charter bus to Maverik Center is that the venue offers plenty of onsite surface parking in Lot A, Lot B, and Lot C with zero garage height restrictions! Oversized vehicles and team buses are directed by venue parking staff to the outer perimeter stalls of the south and east surface lots. Parking is paid upon entry by card, though parking fees are separate from your bus rental quote. Your driver can stay parked right on site for the entire game or concert, making post-event departure fast and easy!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
While permanent street closures are rare around Maverik Center, severe bottlenecks build up along 3500 South, 3100 South, and the I-215 off-ramps during high school graduations, weekend hockey games, and sold-out concerts. West Valley City Police direct traffic into one-way flow patterns along Decker Lake Drive for 45 minutes after major events let out. Arriving 60 to 90 minutes before doors open lets your bus pull straight into the lot before the pre-show rush hits. Plus, your whole group can relax in climate-controlled comfort while traffic clears afterward!
Quick Tips for American Fork Game-Day Charter Bus Groups
A little preparation keeps your Utah game-day trip running like clockwork! Remember that America First Field, Delta Center, and Maverik Center all enforce strict clear-bag policies (typically clear plastic bags up to 12” x 6” x 12” or small clutches), so remind your passengers to leave bulky backpacks and coolers locked safely inside your private bus during the event. Always gather your entire group at your pre-arranged meeting spot before texting your driver to pull up to the curb, since Utah commercial zones enforce a strict 5-minute idling limit!
