Levi's Stadium (Home of the San Francisco 49ers)
Let Pacifica
Major Roadways to Levi's Stadium
Groups departing Pacifica typically take CA-1 North to I-280 South, merging onto CA-85 South and US-101 South toward Great America Parkway. Drivers can also connect via CA-237 East to reach the northern stadium lots directly.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Levi's Stadium
Charter buses can drop off and pick up passengers along the designated white curb zones on Tasman Drive and Great America Parkway near the main security gates. Because California law limits commercial vehicle idling to five minutes, your group must unload promptly upon arrival. After the final whistle, gather your entire group before messaging your driver to pull up for boarding.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Levi's Stadium
Official oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is located in Red Lot 7 (accessed via Great America Parkway and Tasman Drive) and Green Lot 1. You should pre-purchase your Levi's Stadium bus parking pass well in advance, as motorcoach spaces sell out quickly for 49ers home games. Tailgating is permitted in designated bus stalls, making it easy to celebrate right beside your coach!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Expect heavy congestion along US-101, CA-237, and Great America Parkway starting three to four hours before kickoff. Santa Clara Police close sections of Tasman Drive between Great America Parkway and Centennial Boulevard to through-traffic on event days, routing charter buses into specific perimeter lanes. Plan to depart Pacifica at least three hours early so your group can breeze through security and enjoy pre-game festivities. After the event, Tasman Drive closures remain in effect for up to 90 minutes while pedestrian crowds clear the plaza.
Oracle Park (Home of the San Francisco Giants)
Cross the city hassle-free when you book a private shuttle from Pacifica to Oracle Park at 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107! Home to the San Francisco Giants, this scenic waterfront ballpark in SoMa is just a quick 20-minute ride north from Pacifica. Whether you are booking a 25-passenger minibus for a corporate outing or a party bus for a birthday game, nobody has to circle the blocks for parking. Fill out one quick form online to compare vehicles and lock in your ride in seconds!
Major Roadways to Oracle Park
From Pacifica, your driver will take CA-1 North straight onto I-280 North, which feeds directly into the King Street ramp just blocks from the ballpark. Alternate routes include US-101 North to the Fourth Street exit.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Oracle Park
Charter buses drop off and pick up passengers along 3rd Street between the O'Doul Gate and the Giants Dugout Store, or at designated curbside loading zones along Townsend Street.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Oracle Park
Dedicated motorcoach parking is available south of the Lefty O'Doul Bridge in Lot A / Pier 48 at 74 Mission Rock Street. Advance reservations are required through the Oracle Park bus parking portal before gameday. If you are booking a drop-off-only transfer, your driver will stage off-site and return to 3rd Street when the ninth inning wraps up.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
San Francisco MTA restricts traffic along King Street, 3rd Street, and 2nd Street two hours before first pitch and for an hour after the game. Build in an extra 45 minutes of travel time during weekday evening games to beat downtown rush hour.
Chase Center (Home of the Golden State Warriors and the Golden State Valkyries)
Through Pacifica
Major Roadways to Chase Center
The fastest route from Pacifica runs north on CA-1 to I-280 North, exiting at Mariposa Street or 18th Street into Mission Bay. To avoid game-day gridlock on 3rd Street, drivers typically approach via 17th Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard. This waterfront approach provides the smoothest entry for full-size motorcoaches.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Chase Center
Your charter bus will unload and reload passengers at the designated white curb commercial zones along Terry A. Francois Boulevard directly east of the arena entrance. Active loading is strictly enforced with a five-minute time limit, and drivers must stay with the vehicle at all times. Make sure your whole group meets at Thrive City plaza before calling your driver to the curb.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Chase Center
Chase Center does not offer on-site bus parking inside its underground garages due to strict height clearances. Instead, charter buses stage and park off-site at designated oversized vehicle lots near Pier 48 / Lot A along Mission Rock Street.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
The SFMTA closes 16th Street and Warriors Way between 3rd Street and Terry A. Francois Boulevard beginning two hours prior to tip-off. Heavy pedestrian traffic around the Muni Metro platforms on 3rd Street also slows down left and right turns near the arena. Leaving Pacifica at least 90 minutes before doors open ensures your group arrives with plenty of time to grab food in Thrive City.
PayPal Park (Home of Bay FC and the San Jose Earthquakes)
Pacifica
Major Roadways to PayPal Park
Buses traveling south from Pacifica take I-280 South straight to I-880 North, exiting directly onto Coleman Avenue. Drivers can also use US-101 South to the De La Cruz Boulevard / Coleman Avenue interchange for quick stadium access.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at PayPal Park
Groups can be dropped off at the dedicated passenger loading area along Champions Way off Coleman Avenue, or inside the Structure 1 ground-level drop-off loop near the main gate. Because Coleman Avenue sees heavy pre-match traffic, have your tickets ready and step off together to keep the curb lane moving. After the match, meet your group near the main Audi Gate plaza before signaling your driver to pull into the pickup lane. Your confirmation team will verify your exact meeting spot before travel day!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at PayPal Park
Oversized vehicle and charter bus parking is accommodated in the Pink Lot and designated surface areas off Champions Way. Contact PayPal Park guest services ahead of your match to pre-arrange a motorcoach parking pass.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Traffic backs up significantly along Coleman Avenue and the I-880 exit ramps starting 90 minutes before kickoff, especially when weekday matches overlap with Silicon Valley commuter rush hour. Local traffic control officers restrict left turns into the stadium lots along Coleman Avenue and direct buses through dedicated entry gates. We recommend departing Pacifica at least two and a half hours before match time to enjoy a smooth ride down the Peninsula. Post-game traffic clears fastest if your bus exits south toward I-880 rather than looping back past the airport terminals.

Major Roadways to SAP Center
From Pacifica, your driver will follow CA-1 North to I-280 South, taking the Bird Avenue or Meridian Avenue exit north toward West Santa Clara Street. CA-87 (Guadalupe Parkway) also provides direct access to the Julian Street and Santa Clara Street arena corridors.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at SAP Center
Charter buses drop off passengers curbside along the north side of West Santa Clara Street or on Autumn Street near the east entrance plaza. Active loading and unloading is strictly limited to five minutes, so make sure your group is ready to exit as soon as the doors open. After the final buzzer, walk out to your pre-arranged corner on Montgomery Street or Autumn Street for a seamless group pickup.
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at SAP Center
On-site charter bus parking is available in Lot ABC (entered via West Julian Street or Autumn Street), though spaces are limited and should be coordinated through SAP Center parking services in advance. If Lot ABC is full, drivers can stage at nearby commercial surface lots downtown and return when your event ends.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
San Jose police close Autumn Street and Montgomery Street between Santa Clara Street and Julian Street starting 90 minutes before puck drop. Arrive at least two hours early to beat downtown congestion and Diridon Station commuter traffic.
Quick Tips for Pacifica Game-Day Charter Bus Groups
Ready to make your next stadium trip from Pacifica the easiest one yet? Always gather your entire group at your designated gate before calling your driver out of the staging lot, as California law enforces a strict five-minute commercial idling limit. If you are bringing coolers, tents, and tailgating grills, book a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach with cavernous under-floor luggage bays rather than a compact minibus. Finally, reserve your bus and stadium motorcoach parking pass at least a month in advance for high-demand 49ers, Warriors, or Giants matchups!
