A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch a Phantoms Game at the PPL Center
If you are looking for high-energy action in the winter months, there is no better place to be than the PPL Center. Located right in the heart of downtown at 701 Hamilton St, Allentown, PA 18101, this state-of-the-art arena is home to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers. The atmosphere here is electric, with 8,500 fans packing the stands to cheer on the future stars of the NHL. But the PPL Center isn't just about hockey; it also hosts indoor football, basketball events, and major concerts. The arena has revitalized downtown Allentown, bringing a new wave of dining and entertainment options to the Hamilton District.
However, with a downtown location comes downtown traffic. Parking garages near the arena, such as the Spiral Deck or the Community Deck, fill up incredibly fast on game nights, and navigating the one-way streets during rush hour can be stressful for a convoy of cars. When you book a bus rental with Charter Bus Allentown, you skip the parking scramble entirely. Your driver can drop your group off within walking distance of the main entrance, allowing you to head straight to Chickie's & Pete's inside the arena for some Crabfries before the puck drops. We can accommodate fan clubs, youth hockey teams, or corporate outings with ease, ensuring everyone arrives together and ready to cheer.
Root for the IronPigs at Coca-Cola Park
There is nothing quite like a summer evening in the Lehigh Valley watching the Lehigh Valley IronPigs take the field. As the Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, the IronPigs offer top-tier baseball at Coca-Cola Park, located at 1050 Ironpigs Way, Allentown, PA 18109. This stadium is widely considered one of the best in minor league baseball, famous for its quirky promotions, the "Bacon" theme, and a family-friendly atmosphere that is second to none. Whether you are sitting in the Bacon Strip (the seats jutting out from the right-field wall) or enjoying a picnic on the lawn, it is a quintessential Allentown experience.
Coca-Cola Park is located on the East Side of Allentown, and while it has parking, the single entry points can create significant bottlenecks before the first pitch and after the final out. By renting a charter bus, your group can bypass the stress of meeting up in the lot. We are experts at navigating the traffic flow off American Parkway. A private bus is perfect for large groups, such as Little League teams celebrating the end of their season or company picnics. We offer undercarriage storage for coolers and banners, and your driver will be waiting for you as soon as the fireworks show ends, ensuring a safe and air-conditioned ride home for every fan.
High School Football at J. Birney Crum Stadium
In Pennsylvania, high school football isn't just a sport; it's a religion. Allentown is home to the massive J. Birney Crum Stadium, located at 2027 Linden St, Allentown, PA 18104. With a seating capacity of over 15,000, it is one of the largest high school stadiums in the state and serves as the home field for Allentown's three public high schools: William Allen, Dieruff, and Parkland. On Friday nights in the fall, this place is rocking. It is also a premier venue for the mesmerizing Drum Corps International (DCI) Eastern Classic every summer, drawing marching band enthusiasts from all over the country.
For visiting teams, marching bands, and large booster clubs, Charter Bus Allentown provides the ultimate transportation solution. Traveling with football pads, tubas, drums, and uniforms requires serious space, and our 56-passenger motorcoaches come equipped with spacious undercarriage luggage bays to handle it all. We can transport your entire team or band from anywhere in the state directly to the locker rooms at J. Birney Crum. Parents and fans can also book a separate shuttle to ensure they don't miss kickoff. Navigating the residential streets around Linden Street with multiple cars can be a nightmare during big games; a charter bus simplifies the process, keeping your group organized and focused on the competition.
Collegiate Sports Action at Muhlenberg College
Allentown is also a college town, home to the historic Muhlenberg College. The Muhlenberg Mules compete in the NCAA Division III Centennial Conference, offering exciting athletics ranging from football and basketball to wrestling and lacrosse. The campus is located in the serene West End of Allentown at 2400 Chew St, Allentown, PA 18104. Catching a game at Scotty Wood Stadium or Memorial Hall is a great way to support local student-athletes and enjoy high-quality competition in a more intimate setting.
If you are a visiting collegiate team or a high school group touring the athletic facilities, Charter Bus Allentown is your reliable partner. We understand the tight schedules that collegiate athletics operate on. We ensure your team arrives with plenty of time for warm-ups and strategy sessions. Our buses offer comfortable reclining seats and ample legroom, allowing athletes to rest and mentally prepare before the game. For alumni groups returning for homecoming or a big rivalry game against Moravian University, a minibus rental offers a convenient way to travel between the stadium, the tailgate, and local West End taverns without needing to coordinate rideshares.
Golf Outings at Allentown Municipal Golf Course
For those who prefer to play rather than watch, Allentown offers some fantastic public links. The crown jewel is the Allentown Municipal Golf Course, located at 3400 Tilghman St, Allentown, PA 18104. This championship-level course challenges golfers of all skill levels with its rolling terrain and well-maintained greens. It is a popular destination for corporate tournaments, charity fundraisers, and bachelor party outings. After a round of 18, groups often gather at the onsite Jack's Slice for pizza and refreshments.
Transporting a large group of golfers and their clubs can be a logistical challenge if you are relying on personal vehicles or standard taxis. A standard trunk can barely fit two golf bags, let alone four. When you book a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Allentown, storage is never an issue. Our buses have ample room for golf bags, pull carts, and extra gear. We can pick your group up from your hotel or office, drop you right at the clubhouse for your tee time, and be there to pick you up after the 19th hole. Enjoy a few drinks on the course knowing you have a driver ready to get you home safely.
Bowling and Indoor Recreation
Sports in Allentown aren't limited to the outdoors. For groups looking for a competitive indoor activity, the city offers several premier bowling alleys and recreation centers. One local favorite is AMF Parkway Lanes, located at 1630 S 12th St, Allentown, PA 18103. Bowling is an excellent option for corporate team-building events, youth group outings, or rainy-day activities for sports teams in town for a tournament. With dozens of lanes, arcade games, and food options, it’s a one-stop-shop for group entertainment.
Coordinating arrival times for a large group at a bowling alley is crucial to ensure you keep your lane reservations. Charter Bus Allentown ensures your entire party arrives simultaneously. Whether you are bringing a school group for a reward trip or a corporate team for a Friday afternoon morale booster, a private bus rental keeps the group cohesive. You can use the onboard PA system to announce teams or distribute prizes on the way home. We can also easily add stops to other indoor attractions in the area, such as the Lehigh Valley Grand Prix for go-karting, creating a full day of competitive fun.
The Perfect Tailgate and Post-Game Transport
Let’s be honest: for many fans, the tailgate is just as important as the game itself. Whether you are heading to a college football game or preparing for an Eagles game down in Philadelphia (just over an hour away via the Northeast Extension), the pre-game festivities require gear. You need coolers, folding chairs, tables, grills, and cornhole boards. Trying to cram all of that into a sedan is impossible. When you rent a charter bus from Charter Bus Allentown, you gain access to massive undercarriage storage bays that can hold everything you need for the ultimate tailgate.
Beyond the convenience of storage, comfort is our top priority. Sporting events often involve alcohol, and ensuring every member of your group gets home safely is paramount. By booking a private bus, you automatically designate a driver for your entire group. You can enjoy the game and the post-game celebrations without worrying about navigating unfamiliar roads or risking a DUI. Your bus can transport you from the stadium to local bars on Hamilton Street or the West End, and then safely back to your hotel or residence. It is the responsible, stress-free way to enjoy sports.
