Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff Guide to Kuna Sports Venues & Arenas
With Kuna
Albertsons Stadium (Home of the Boise State Broncos)
Every fall Saturday, large numbers of fans travel from Kuna to Albertsons Stadium at 1400 Bronco Ln, Boise, ID 83725 to cheer on the Boise State Broncos on the famous Blue Turf. A 56-passenger charter bus or party bus keeps your whole group together from kickoff to the final whistle!
Major Roadways to Albertsons Stadium
Groups departing Kuna typically head north on SH-69 (Meridian Road) to I-84 East, then take Exit 54 (Broadway Avenue) north toward the Boise State University campus. Drivers can also use Capitol Boulevard or Beacon Street to approach the stadium district.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Albertsons Stadium
Charter buses can drop off and pick up groups along the designated loading zones on University Drive near Cesar Chavez Lane or along Belmont Street on the north side of the stadium. Because curbside idling is limited to 5 minutes, make sure your whole group is gathered before boarding!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Albertsons Stadium
Pre-purchased oversized vehicle and RV parking is located in the East Junior High Lot or designated sections of the West Stadium Lot, which must be reserved through the Boise State Athletic Ticket Office in advance. If on-campus bus lots are sold out, your driver will stage off-site near I-84 and return when you text!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
On Bronco game days, Bronco Lane, University Drive, and portions of Grant Avenue close to regular traffic up to four hours before kickoff. Heavy congestion builds quickly along Broadway Avenue and the I-84 ramps during pre-game tailgating. Plan to depart Kuna at least two to three hours before kickoff so your group can walk straight to the gates stress-free!
ExtraMile Arena (Home of the Boise State Broncos)
Coordinating basketball, gymnastics, or concert travel from Kuna to ExtraMile Arena is a breeze when you compare bus types in one search! Whether you book a 25-passenger minibus or a full-size coach, your group skips the frigid winter walk from distant campus garages.

Major Roadways to ExtraMile Arena
To reach ExtraMile Arena from Kuna, your driver will take SH-69 North to I-84 East and exit at Broadway Avenue (Exit 54). From Broadway Avenue, buses turn west onto University Drive or Cesar Chavez Lane for direct access to the arena perimeter. Alternate routes include taking I-184 to the Myrtle Street corridor during peak rush hour.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at ExtraMile Arena
Your charter bus can unload and pick up passengers at the turnaround circle off Cesar Chavez Lane near Entrance 1 and Entrance 2, right between ExtraMile Arena and the West Stadium Lot. Active loading is strictly enforced, so have your tickets ready and step off together!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at ExtraMile Arena
Remember that the nearby Brady Street Garage and Lincoln Avenue Garage have strict vertical height clearances and cannot accommodate full-size charter buses or high-roof minibuses. Instead, oversized vehicles can park in the surface West Stadium Lot across from the arena with prior event coordination. For sold-out concerts or conference tournaments, drivers often stage off-campus near Federal Way or Broadway Avenue. Once the final buzzer sounds, your bus pulls right back up to the Cesar Chavez Lane curb!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Weeknight basketball games and major arena shows overlap directly with downtown Boise and university commuter traffic between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Bronco Lane and sections of Cesar Chavez Lane are staffed by campus traffic officers who direct buses in and out of the loading zones.
Idaho Central Arena (Home of the Idaho Steelheads)
Let Kuna
Major Roadways to Idaho Central Arena
Traveling from Kuna, your charter bus will follow Meridian Road (SH-69) north to I-84 East, then merge onto the I-184 (Downtown Boise Connector). The connector transitions directly into Myrtle Street, allowing your driver to turn north onto Capitol Boulevard or 9th Street to reach the arena. For groups coming from eastern Kuna, Hubbard Road to Cole Road offers an easy local connection to I-84.
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Idaho Central Arena
Because Idaho Central Arena is surrounded by busy one-way downtown streets, charter buses typically use the curbside loading zone along Front Street or Grove Street between Capitol Boulevard and 9th Street. From there, your group is just steps away from the main arena doors off the Grove Plaza. Be sure to gather your entire group on the plaza after the third period before signaling your driver to pull up to the curb!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Idaho Central Arena
Downtown parking structures like the Eastside Garage and Capitol Terrace Garage cannot fit oversized motorcoaches due to low overhead clearances. Your driver will drop your group off by the arena and relocate to surface staging lots along Myrtle Street or near Ann Morrison Park until pickup time.
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
Downtown Boise experiences heavy one-way gridlock along Front Street, Myrtle Street, and Capitol Boulevard before Friday and Saturday night Steelheads games. During special downtown festivals, the 8th Street pedestrian zone and blocks around the Grove Plaza close completely to vehicle traffic. Building an extra 30 minutes into your Kuna departure schedule gives your group plenty of time to grab dinner downtown before the puck drops. Afterward, our confirmation department’s pre-verified pickup spot ensures nobody waits out in the cold!
Memorial Stadium (Home of the Boise Hawks)
Kuna
Major Roadways to Memorial Stadium
From Kuna, the most direct route to Memorial Stadium is north on SH-69 (Meridian Road) through Meridian, continuing onto Eagle Road (SH-55) or cutting east on Chinden Boulevard (US-20/26). From Chinden Boulevard, your driver turns north onto N Glenwood Street right next to the Western Idaho Fairgrounds. Alternatively, drivers can take I-84 East to I-184, exit at Curtis Road, and follow Veterans Memorial Parkway north to Glenwood Street. Your driver will monitor afternoon commuter traffic along Chinden Boulevard to pick the fastest route for your group!
Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Memorial Stadium
Charter buses enter off N Glenwood Street or W Marigold Street and drop passengers off at the main ballpark entrance near the Western Idaho Fairgrounds gates. This puts your fans steps from the ticket windows without hiking across the gravel lots!
Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Memorial Stadium
Unlike cramped downtown arenas, Memorial Stadium shares expansive surface parking lots with Expo Idaho (Western Idaho Fairgrounds) that easily accommodate full-size 56-passenger charter buses and minibuses. Your bus can park right on site in the designated oversized area along the perimeter of the main fairgrounds lot! That means your driver stays close by throughout all nine innings, and your group can store coolers or extra gear safely onboard. Just check with the Hawks box office ahead of time if your game overlaps with a major Expo Idaho event!
Event-Day Closures & Traffic
N Glenwood Street and the Chinden Boulevard intersection are notorious Treasure Valley bottlenecks during weekday evening rush hour ahead of 7:05 p.m. first pitches. When the Western Idaho Fair or large concerts at adjacent Ford Idaho Center draw summer crowds, traffic backs up across the Boise River bridge. Leaving Kuna 60 to 90 minutes before game time ensures your group catches the national anthem and enjoys the ballpark stress-free!
