Why Limit Yourself to One Fleet? Compare Sporting Event Transportation From a Network of Bus Companies
Rochestermncharterbusrentals.com is not a bus company. It is a quote-comparison and referral website — and that distinction matters for you. Because we don't own any vehicles, you are never limited to whatever one operator happens to have sitting in a lot.
Instead, Rochestermncharterbusrentals.com brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Rochester and the surrounding region, so you can compare buses, amenities, and pricing all in one place. Fill out one form, land on a results page showing vehicles and rates, and choose the bus that works for your group. No account required.
A free quote is always available online or by phone at 507-816-0110 any day of the year.

Not every sports group looks the same, and the buses available through the network reflect that. Need a compact 15-passenger minibus to shuttle a small group of Honkers season-ticket holders from downtown Rochester to Mayo Field on a Tuesday night in July? Done.
Need a 56-passenger charter bus loaded with reclining seats, onboard WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays for a 90-minute run up US-52 to a Vikings Sunday? That's here too. Party buses with built-in bars, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound are available for fan groups that want the celebration to start the moment everyone boards.
Compare them all side by side — vehicle photos, amenities, and pricing — without making a single phone call.

Charter Buses to Vikings Games at U.S. Bank Stadium From Rochester
US-52 northbound on a Vikings Sunday is one of the most predictable traffic headaches in Southeast Minnesota. The drive from Rochester to U.S. Bank Stadium (401 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415) runs about 85 miles and takes 1 hour and 20 minutes on a clear weekday — and noticeably longer when 66,000 fans are all converging on the same interchange at the same time. Parking near the stadium runs $40–$60+ per game in the closest ramps on 3rd Street N and Chicago Avenue, and those fill two or more hours before kickoff according to the U.S. Bank Stadium parking page.
A charter bus from Rochester changes the whole equation. Your group rides together, the tailgate starts on the bus, and nobody is circling downtown Minneapolis hunting for a spot. Charter buses and motorcoaches use designated drop-off zones on the stadium's perimeter — confirm the active zone with your operator before game day, as assignments shift by event.
The stadium requires every charter operation to use the City of Minneapolis Charter Bus Parking System, with bus parking on 7th Street South between 11th Avenue South and Park Avenue South and additional parking on 3rd Street South between 13th Avenue South and Norm McGrew Avenue South; your bus parks in an assigned zone instead of circling downtown ramps, as detailed on the U.S. Bank Stadium directions and parking page. Compare 40- to 56-passenger coaches from a network of Rochester-area providers and get pricing in under 30 seconds!
Fan Buses to Minnesota Twins Games at Target Field
A summer Twins game at Target Field (1 Twins Way, Minneapolis, MN 55403) is one of the most popular day-trip destinations for Rochester sports fans from June through September. The ballpark sits about 85 miles up US-52 from Rochester, and the Northstar Corridor does not extend to Rochester — so driving or busing are the many options. Parking in the ramps nearest the stadium runs $25–$45 per vehicle, with Ramp A at 5th Street N listed as the official ballpark ramp on the Target Field transportation page; street parking within walking distance is typically gone 90 minutes before first pitch.
Charter buses drop off on the active commercial curb zones surrounding the stadium. Bus parking permits must be reserved through the City of Minneapolis beginning on the first day of the month before your game date, so your charter bus has a designated place to go after unloading instead of joining the car-ramp hunt; the Minnesota Twins Target Field group transportation page carries the reservation instructions. A 25- or 35-passenger minibus is a natural fit for a group that wants to make a day of it — grab seats together, share the drive, and let someone else handle the I-494/US-52 interchange on the way home.

Buses to Minnesota Wild and MSHSL Hockey Tournaments at Xcel Energy Center
Rochester is deep hockey country, and Xcel Energy Center (199 W Kellogg Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55102) is the destination that pulls Rochester fans north more reliably than almost any other venue. Wild home games and the Minnesota State High School League hockey tournament — held every February at Xcel — fill buses from Rochester year after year. The RiverCentre Ramp at 175 W Kellogg Blvd runs $20–$25 per vehicle on event nights according to the Xcel Energy Center parking and transit page, and it fills fast on playoff nights.
Xcel Energy Center does not offer oversized-vehicle parking on site; full-size buses are directed to Union Depot Lot D, where reservations require 48-hour notice and prepayment, so your coach parks away from the arena instead of trying to fit into a downtown ramp. The drive from Rochester is about 80 miles and 1 hour and 15 minutes via US-52 N. For MSHSL tournament weekends especially, a charter bus or minibus keeps the whole school section together from the Rochester school parking lot to the arena entrance — no caravan logistics, no staggered arrivals, no missing the opening faceoff.

Rochester Honkers Game Buses and Local Sporting Event Shuttles
Not every sports bus trip goes to the Twin Cities. Mayo Field (403 E Center St, Rochester, MN 55904) hosts the Rochester Honkers from June through August, and on a warm summer Friday night with a sellout crowd, parking along East Center Street and Broadway fills well before first pitch. The dedicated lot at Mayo Field is small, and the surrounding blocks go quickly.
A minibus that picks your group up from a single location and drops everyone at the gate turns a neighborhood parking scramble into a non-issue. The same logic applies to Rochester Grizzlies home games at Graham Arena (21 Elton Hills Dr NW, Rochester, MN 55901), where residential street parking on Elton Hills Drive is the primary option for most fans. Whether you need a 15-passenger minibus for a group of friends or a 35-passenger coach for a company outing to a Honkers game, the network has options ready.

Charter Buses to Gopher Football, Basketball, and Hockey in Minneapolis
University of Minnesota home games are a regular destination for Rochester-area fans and alumni groups. Huntington Bank Stadium (420 SE 23rd Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55455) holds over 50,000 for Gophers football Saturdays in the fall, and the campus-area parking situation on game days is notoriously limited — the University's own guidance pushes fans toward transit and remote lots, making a charter bus from Rochester one of the most practical options for a large alumni group. Williams Arena (1925 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455) hosts Gophers basketball, and 3M Arena at Mariucci (1901 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455) draws Rochester hockey fans for NCHC matchups all winter.
All three venues sit within blocks of each other on the East Bank campus, making it easy for a charter bus to loop the group in and out of the same drop zone. Compare 40- to 56-passenger coaches from the network and get pricing in seconds!
Long-Distance Sporting Event Buses to Mankato, Winona, and Beyond
Rochester's sports calendar extends well past the Twin Cities. Minnesota State Mankato — one of the most consistently competitive programs in NCAA hockey — is about 75 miles west on US-14, and Rochester fans make that run throughout the CCHA season. Winona State and Saint Mary's University in Winona sit about 45 miles east via US-14 and US-61, drawing Rochester groups for Warriors and Cardinals athletic events across multiple sports.
For longer hauls — a road game in Fargo, a tournament in Eau Claire, or a multi-day trip to a regional championship — full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays make the distance comfortable for every passenger. You are never locked into one fleet on Rochestermncharterbusrentals.com. Compare long-distance coaches from a network of independently owned companies and find the right bus for your route!

Book at least two to three months out for most Vikings home Sundays, and push that to four to six months for marquee matchups, playoff games, or divisional rivalries that sell out early. The Rochester-to-Minneapolis corridor is one of the most active sporting event bus routes in Southeast Minnesota, and available vehicles on popular game Sundays go fast. Waiting until the week of the game almost always means higher rates and limited vehicle choices — lock in your date early.
Charter buses and motorcoaches use designated commercial drop-off zones on the perimeter of U.S. Bank Stadium (401 Chicago Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55415). Drop-off assignments shift by event, so confirm the active zone with your operator before game day. The U.S. Bank Stadium parking page notes that prepaid parking is required and that nearby ramps on 3rd Street N and Chicago Avenue fill two or more hours before kickoff — which is exactly why most Rochester fan groups skip the parking search entirely and ride in on a charter bus.
Yes, and multi-stop pickup loops are one of the most common setups booked through the network. A typical Rochester fan bus might start at a hotel on Broadway, add a stop near the Rochester Recreation Center on Elton Hills Drive, and pick up a third group near the US-52 on-ramp before heading north. Add about 10 minutes per stop when you're working backward from your departure time, and list your stops in order when you fill out the quote form so pricing reflects the full route accurately.
It depends on what your group wants out of the ride. A party bus with a built-in bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound is a great pick if the pregame energy is part of the night — the celebration starts the moment everyone boards. A 15- or 25-passenger minibus is a more straightforward option for groups focused on getting to the gate together without the extras.
Both types are available through the network. Compare them side by side on the results page and choose what fits your group's vibe and budget.
Absolutely. The Minnesota State High School League hockey tournament at Xcel Energy Center in February is one of the busiest sporting event bus weekends of the year for Rochester-area school groups and family sections. The same goes for MSHSL football championships at U.S. Bank Stadium in November.
Both events draw large groups from Rochester schools, and minibuses and full-size charter buses are available through the network for both. Book early — tournament weekends fill across the entire Southeast Minnesota market, and waiting costs more than booking ahead.
