Catch a Home Run at Avista Stadium

Just a short drive from the heart of the Valley, Avista Stadium (602 N Havana St, Spokane, WA 99202) has been the home of the Spokane Indians since 1958. As a High-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies, this historic 6,800-seat venue offers one of the most intimate baseball experiences in the Northwest. The stadium is famous for its "Rimrock" backdrop and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a staple for local youth leagues and corporate outings.

Planning a group outing to the ballpark is a Valley tradition, especially on "Fireworks Nights" or "Storybook Saturdays." For larger organizations, the stadium offers private hospitality areas like the Pepsi Porch and the Coors Light Caboose, which can accommodate groups from 20 to over 200 people. If you are bringing a school group or a Little League team, the Indian’s organization provides "Field of Dreams" packages where kids can take the field with the pros during the national anthem.

Parking at Avista Stadium can be tricky during sold-out games, as the main lot off Havana Street fills up rapidly, often forcing latecomers into overflow dirt lots. By booking a private shuttle, your group can utilize the designated commercial drop-off point directly in front of the main ticket office. This allows your passengers to bypass the parking queue and head straight to the concessions. Your driver will then stage the bus in the secondary North lot, remaining on-call to pull forward the moment the final out is recorded.

Address: 602 N Havana St, Spokane, WA 99202

Charter Bus Parking: Oversized vehicle parking is available in the North parking lot adjacent to the Fairgrounds. Buses should enter via Broadway Avenue to Havana Street, avoiding the tighter residential turns to the south. Parking for buses is free of charge for Indians games, but we recommend arriving 45 minutes before first pitch for the best positioning.

Elite Competition at the HUB Sports Center

For those involved in regional tournaments, the HUB Sports Center (19619 E Cataldo Ave, Liberty Lake, WA 99016) is the crown jewel of Spokane Valley’s athletic infrastructure. This 66,000-square-foot multi-purpose facility hosts everything from national volleyball qualifiers and basketball championships to pickleball tournaments and martial arts events. Because it sits right on the edge of Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake, it is a primary destination for traveling teams arriving from Seattle or Missoula.

The facility features five regulation basketball courts and eight volleyball courts, often hosting over 2,500 people during peak tournament weekends. For coaches and athletic directors, coordinating the arrival of multiple teams in individual cars is a nightmare on Cataldo Avenue. A team bus rental ensures that all players, coaches, and equipment arrive at the same time, preventing the dreaded "forfeit by tardiness." Our buses offer the overhead bin space needed for jerseys and gym bags, plus the undercarriage storage for bulky court equipment and coolers.

Address: 19619 E Cataldo Ave, Liberty Lake, WA 99016

Charter Bus Parking: The HUB has a dedicated parking lot, but it is frequently over-capacity during Saturday morning tournament starts. Charter buses are requested to drop off at the main entrance loop and then move to the designated oversized parking stalls at the far east end of the lot. This ensures the fire lanes remain clear for emergency vehicles.

Hockey and Hoops at the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena

While technically located just west of the Valley line, the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena (720 W Mallon Ave, Spokane, WA 99201) is the primary home for the Spokane Chiefs (WHL) and major collegiate basketball events. With a capacity of over 12,000, it is the epicenter for high-stakes sports in the region. Navigating a 56-passenger motorcoach into the downtown core from the Valley can be stressful due to the heavy congestion on Division Street and the one-way patterns surrounding the North Bank.

The Arena is also a frequent host for the NCAA Division I Women’s and Men’s Basketball Tournament rounds. If your fan group is heading in to support the Gonzaga Bulldogs or Washington State Cougars, a private bus is the only way to travel. We utilize the commercial loading zone on Mallon Avenue, allowing for a swift exit even when the crowds are pouring out after a Chiefs victory.

Address: 720 W Mallon Ave, Spokane, WA 99201

Charter Bus Parking: Buses are prohibited from parking in the main Arena lots. Charter Bus Spokane Valley drivers stage at the nearby parking area at the Spokane County Courthouse or the dedicated bus stalls on Washington Street. Note: Height restrictions apply on certain side streets near the Riverfront Park area, so the drivers strictly adhere to designated truck routes.

Friday Night Lights at Central Valley Stadium

In Spokane Valley, high school football is more than just a game—it’s a community event. Whether it’s the "Stinky Sneaker" rivalry or a state playoff game at Central Valley High School or University High, the atmosphere is electric. However, the local neighborhood streets surrounding these schools were not designed for thousands of vehicles. Parking for a big game often spills deep into residential areas, leading to long walks and traffic snarls at the end of the fourth quarter.

We provide shuttle services for booster clubs and alumni groups, ensuring the "Superfans" arrive in a unified front. By using a single motorcoach, you consolidate 50+ cars into one vehicle, significantly reducing the impact on the local Valley neighborhoods. The drivers are familiar with the specific gate requirements for local high schools, ensuring we use the designated athletic bus loops rather than blocking student drop-off lanes.

Address: 821 S Sullivan Rd, Spokane Valley, WA 99037 (Central Valley HS)

Charter Bus Parking: Buses must enter the Central Valley lot via the Sullivan Road entrance and proceed to the bus barn area or the designated loop behind the gymnasium. During rivalry games, parking is extremely restricted; we recommend pre-clearing bus arrivals with the school’s athletic department to ensure a reserved stall is held.

Outdoor Action at the Spokane County Fair & Expo Center

The Spokane County Fair & Expo Center (404 N Havana St, Spokane Valley, WA 99202) isn't just for the fair; it's a major hub for rodeo events, BMX competitions, and flat-track racing. The annual Spokane County Interstate Fair brings in athletes from across the West, and the facility’s proximity to Avista Stadium creates a massive "Sports Complex" feel that can cause gridlock on Broadway Avenue.

If you are coordinating a group for a rodeo or a regional equestrian event, the Expo Center offers expansive grounds but limited paved parking for oversized vehicles near the main grandstands. We recommend utilizing our drop-off service at the North Gate. This allows your group to enter the festivities immediately while your bus driver manages the logistics of parking in the grass overflow lots or staging off-site until your event concludes.

Address: 404 N Havana St, Spokane Valley, WA 99202

Charter Bus Parking: Oversized parking is permitted in the designated gravel lots off Broadway. During the Interstate Fair in September, bus parking is highly regulated, and drivers should follow the signage for "Vendor/Bus Entry" to avoid being caught in the main public parking queue which can back up onto I-90.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spokane Valley Sports Transportation

Our motorcoaches utilize the designated commercial drop-off loop located on Havana Street, directly adjacent to the main stadium gates and the "Hall of Fame" plaza. This area is strictly for loading and unloading; once the group has disembarked, the drivers move to the North Fairgrounds lot to ensure we do not block the flow of traffic for fans entering the primary parking areas. This ensures your group is only a 30-second walk from the ticket windows.

No, the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena does not have on-site parking for 56-passenger coach buses in their primary guest lots (Lot A or B). We drop groups off at the Mallon Avenue curb-side loading zone. The drivers then proceed to stage the vehicles at a pre-arranged off-site location, such as the Spokane County parking facilities nearby or the commercial stalls on West Boone Avenue. We stay in constant communication with your group leader via cell phone to coordinate a "precision pick-up" exactly when the game ends.

Absolutely. One of the primary advantages of renting a full-sized motorcoach from Charter Bus Spokane Valley is the undercarriage storage capacity. You can easily fit pop-up tents, folding chairs, large coolers, and portable grills in the bays beneath the cabin. We ask that all grills be completely cooled and propane tanks be disconnected and secured according to safety regulations. This keeps the interior aisles clear and comfortable for your passengers during the trip.

The drivers are good at monitoring real-time traffic data to avoid the frequent congestion at the I-90 and Sullivan Road interchange, especially during Friday evening rush hour. If we are heading to a game at University High or the HUB Sports Center, we may utilize the Barker Road or Evergreen Road exits to bypass the heaviest traffic. We build "buffer time" into every game-day itinerary to ensure that even if there is a delay on the interstate, your team still has plenty of time for warm-ups.

Our 56-passenger motorcoaches come standard with an onboard restroom, which is a necessity for teams traveling to away games in cities like Tri-Cities, Yakima, or Seattle. This allows you to maintain a strict schedule by eliminating the need for frequent rest area stops. For shorter trips within Spokane Valley or to Cheney for EWU games, our smaller minibuses do not have restrooms, but they offer a more compact and maneuverable option for navigating tight parking lots at local high schools.
