A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch a Sod Poodles Game at HODGETOWN
Since their debut, the Amarillo Sod Poodles have taken the city by storm, and HODGETOWN (715 S Buchanan St, Amarillo, TX 79101) has become the premier destination for sports entertainment in the Panhandle. As the Double-A affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Sod Poodles offer high-quality baseball in a stunning, modern facility located right in the heart of downtown. However, with the stadium's massive popularity, parking in downtown Amarillo can become a logistical headache, especially for large groups trying to arrive together. Public lots fill up quickly, and street parking can separate your group by several blocks. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Amarillo, your driver can drop your entire group off right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for your seats or the concessions without circling for a spot.
A private bus rental is perfect for corporate outings, family reunions, or church groups heading to the ballpark. HODGETOWN is known for its hospitality areas, like the Pepsi Party Deck or the luxury suites, and arriving in a private shuttle adds to that VIP experience. Your group can pre-game on the bus with plenty of space for excitement, and you can enjoy a few cold ones before you even enter the gates. After the game, you won't have to fight the exodus of cars leaving downtown; your driver will be waiting at a designated pick-up location to whisk you away to your next destination or back home safely. Call us at 505-395-1000 to organize your next baseball outing.
Ice Hockey Action with the Amarillo Wranglers
If you prefer your sports fast-paced and hard-hitting, you need to check out the Amarillo Wranglers at the Amarillo Civic Center Complex (401 S Buchanan St, Amarillo, TX 79101). Ice hockey has a surprisingly deep history in Amarillo, and the Wranglers keep that tradition alive with thrilling games that draw crowds from all over the region. The Civic Center is a massive hub for events, meaning traffic on Buchanan Street and SE 3rd Avenue can get congested, especially when there are concurrent events happening in the complex. By renting a minibus or charter bus from Charter Bus Amarillo, you eliminate the stress of navigating this busy area. We can transport your youth hockey team, your group of rowdy fans, or your corporate team directly to the Cal Farley Coliseum inside the complex.
For youth hockey teams traveling to Amarillo for tournaments, a full-size charter bus is an absolute necessity. Hockey gear is bulky—between the pads, the sticks, and the oversized goalie bags, you need serious cargo space. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays that can easily swallow up a whole team's worth of equipment, leaving the cabin clutter-free. This allows your players to stretch out in reclining seats, review plays on the onboard TV screens using a DVD player, or simply rest their legs before they hit the ice. Don't cram into minivans or parents' SUVs; travel like the pros with a dedicated team bus that keeps everyone together and focused on the game.
West Texas A&M Athletics in Nearby Canyon
Just a short 20-minute drive south of Amarillo via I-27 lies Canyon, Texas, home to West Texas A&M University. The WTAMU Buffaloes have a fierce following, and game days at Bain-Schaeffer Buffalo Stadium (2501 4th Ave, Canyon, TX 79015) are legendary. Whether you are an alumni association planning a homecoming trip, a student organization looking for a safe ride, or a family wanting to support the Buffs, Charter Bus Amarillo is your connection to college sports action. While the drive is short, coordinating a caravan of ten or fifteen cars down the interstate is a recipe for someone getting lost or separated. A charter bus keeps the spirit high and the group united from the moment you leave Amarillo until you return.
Tailgating is a huge part of the college football experience in Texas, and our buses are ready to facilitate the fun. With ample storage underneath the bus, you can easily pack up coolers, folding chairs, tents, and even portable grills for the ultimate pre-game setup. Once you arrive in Canyon, your driver can navigate the campus traffic and get you to the designated parking areas. If you are heading down for basketball at the First United Bank Center or catching a volleyball match, we have the right vehicle for the season. Plus, with onboard WiFi and power outlets available on many of our buses, you can check scores from around the conference or post your game-day selfies without draining your data plan. Call 505-395-1000 to book your ride to Canyon today.
High School Football at Dick Bivins Stadium
In Texas, high school football isn't just a sport; it's a religion. Amarillo is home to some incredible high school talent, and many of the big games are played at Dick Bivins Stadium (800 S Marrs St, Amarillo, TX 79104). With a seating capacity of 15,000, this stadium hosts massive crowds, especially during rivalry weeks or playoff season. Parking lots fill up hours before kickoff, and the streets surrounding the stadium can become gridlocked. Whether you are a band director organizing transportation for the marching band, a cheer squad sponsor, or a booster club organizing a ride for parents and fans, Charter Bus Amarillo has the fleet to handle large-scale movements.
For school bands and athletic teams, we offer reliable and safe transportation that meets all district requirements. We understand that transporting students requires a higher level of care and punctuality. Our buses offer plenty of room for instruments, uniforms, and pads, ensuring that nothing gets damaged in transit. For fan groups, renting a charter bus to a playoff game—whether it's at Dick Bivins or an away game in Lubbock or Abilene—turns a road trip into a mobile pep rally. You can decorate the bus with team colors, play fight songs over the PA system, and build camaraderie before you even reach the stadium. Don't let the hassle of driving distract you from supporting your student-athletes.
Rodeo and Motorsports at the Tri-State Fairgrounds
Amarillo's roots are deep in the western lifestyle, and nowhere is that more evident than at the Tri-State Fairgrounds (3301 SE 10th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79104). The Amarillo National Center within the fairgrounds hosts prestigious rodeos, equestrian events, and livestock shows throughout the year. If your group is heading to the Cowboy Christmas or the Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo, a charter bus rental provides a comfortable, climate-controlled escape from the dust and the Texas heat. We can shuttle your group from your hotel directly to the fairgrounds, ensuring you don't miss a second of the barrel racing or bull riding action.
For those with a need for speed, the fairgrounds area and nearby venues like the Route 66 Motor Speedway (4101 TX-335 Loop, Amarillo, TX 79108) offer thrilling dirt track racing. Motorsports fans know that these events can run late and are often loud and energetic. After a long night of watching sprint cars or dirt modifieds, the last thing you want to do is navigate dark highways back to the city. By hiring a driver from Charter Bus Amarillo, you ensure that everyone in your group gets home safely. You can sit back in a reclining seat, enjoy the air conditioning, and talk about the night's best races while your driver handles the road.
Golf Outings and Country Clubs
Amarillo isn't just about spectator sports; it's also a fantastic place to play. The city boasts several high-quality golf courses, such as the Ross Rogers Golf Course (722 NW 24th Ave, Amarillo, TX 79107) and the exclusive Tascosa Golf Club (4502 Fairway Dr, Amarillo, TX 79124). If you are planning a corporate outing, a charity tournament, or a bachelor party weekend on the links, a minibus rental is the ultimate convenience. Golf clubs are cumbersome and difficult to fit into standard sedans or rideshares, especially when you have a foursome or more. Our minibuses and charter buses offer ample storage space to keep your clubs secure and organized.
Furthermore, golf outings often involve enjoying a few drinks at the clubhouse or the "19th hole" after the round. With a private charter bus rental, you have a built-in designated driver for the entire day. We can pick your group up from the hotel, take you to the course for your tee time, and then shuttle you to a nice steakhouse like the Big Texan or OHMS Cafe for a post-round dinner. Enjoy the camaraderie of your group without worrying about who has to drive or how to fit everyone's gear into multiple vehicles. Let us handle the logistics while you focus on your swing.
Transporting Local Teams to Away Games
At Charter Bus Amarillo, we don't just serve fans; we are a trusted partner for the athletes themselves. Teams in the Texas Panhandle often face long travel times to reach opponents in Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, or even into Oklahoma and New Mexico. Spending hours on a cramped, yellow school bus without air conditioning or comfortable seating can leave athletes stiff, tired, and unprepared to compete. That is why coaches and athletic directors turn to us for premium athletic transportation. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches are designed for long-haul comfort, featuring reclining seats with ample legroom, allowing players to stretch out and rest.
Beyond comfort, our buses offer the amenities modern athletes need. With onboard WiFi and power outlets, students can catch up on homework or study game film on their tablets while on the road. The onboard climate control ensures that the team stays cool during the scorching Texas summers and warm during those chilly Panhandle winters. For teams traveling with heavy equipment—football, hockey, baseball, or band—the undercarriage storage is essential. We ensure your team arrives at the destination focused, rested, and ready to win. Call 505-395-1000 to set up travel for your entire season.

Frequently Asked Questions About Amarillo Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for tailgating gear?
If you rent a full-sized 56-passenger charter bus, you will have access to massive undercarriage storage bays. These compartments are perfect for storing large coolers, folding chairs, tents, cornhole boards, and even portable grills. Minibuses have limited storage, usually overhead bins suitable for personal bags, so if you are planning a heavy-duty tailgate, we highly recommend upgrading to a full-sized motorcoach to ensure everything fits comfortably.
Do you service towns outside of Amarillo?
Absolutely! While we are based in Amarillo, we proudly serve the entire Texas Panhandle and beyond. We regularly transport groups to and from Canyon, Lubbock, Borger, Pampa, Hereford, and Dumas. We can also facilitate long-distance trips to Dallas, Oklahoma City, or Albuquerque. No matter where your team is playing or where your fan group needs to go, Charter Bus Amarillo can take you there.
How far in advance should we book for a big game?
For major sporting events, especially playoffs, homecoming games, or rivalry matchups, we recommend booking your bus as soon as you have your schedule—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. The demand for charter buses spikes during sports seasons, and availability can become limited quickly. However, we understand that playoffs can be unpredictable. Our team is available 24/7 to try and accommodate last-minute requests, but booking early ensures you get the best price and the exact vehicle you need.
What amenities are best for traveling sports teams?
For sports teams traveling long distances, we recommend requesting a bus with reclining seats and extra legroom to prevent stiffness. WiFi and power outlets are essential for students who need to do homework or for coaches who want to review digital game film. An onboard restroom is also highly recommended for minimizing pit stops on long drives across Texas. Just tell our reservation agents what your team needs, and we will find the perfect bus configuration for you.
