A Sports Fan's Guide to Murray, Utah

Cheer on Real Salt Lake at America First Field

Just a short five-minute drive south of Murray in Sandy, America First Field stands as the premier destination for professional soccer in Utah. Home to Real Salt Lake (MLS) and the Utah Royals (NWSL), this 20,000-seat stadium draws massive crowds that can easily bottle-neck the 9000 South exit during match days. For supporters groups traveling from Murray, a private shuttle is the only way to ensure you don't miss the opening kickoff while hunting for a spot in the crowded suburban lots.

The stadium experience is more than just the 90 minutes on the pitch. The "RioT" (as locals still affectionately call it) features the Zions Bank Intermountain Health Training Center nearby and a vibrant pre-game atmosphere. If you are hosting a corporate outing or a large youth soccer club event, we can coordinate a seamless drop-off. Your drivers are instructed to utilize the designated commercial lane on the west side of the stadium along Rimando Way. This allows your group to unload directly near the box office, avoiding the heavy pedestrian flow on State Street.

Address: 9256 State St, Sandy, UT 84070

Charter Bus Parking: Oversized vehicle parking is strictly regulated at America First Field. Buses are typically required to park in the outlying Lot 4 or at the nearby Mountain America Expo Center overflow lot. We recommend booking your bus parking pass through the RSL front office at least 48 hours in advance to secure a spot in the designated bus zone.

Game Day at the Maverik Center

Located just West of Murray in West Valley City, the Maverik Center is the home ice for the Utah Grizzlies (ECHL) and serves as a premier venue for mid-sized concerts and touring shows. With a capacity of roughly 12,000 for hockey, the arena offers an intimate but high-energy atmosphere. However, the intersection of I-215 and 3500 South is notorious for gridlock during the "commuter hour" when evening games begin.

When you book a motorcoach for a Grizzlies game, your group can relax in climate-controlled cabins while your drivers navigate the "Belt Route" traffic. The arena is also famous for its Olympic history, having hosted the 2002 Winter Games' ice hockey events. If your group arrives early, you can explore the displays of Olympic memorabilia or grab a bite at the various eateries along 3500 South. A private bus rental allows your group to stay together for post-game celebrations without anyone needing to serve as the designated driver.

Address: 3200 S Decker Lake Dr, West Valley City, UT 84119

Charter Bus Parking: The Maverik Center features a designated drop-off loop at the main North Entrance. For parking, buses are generally directed to the rear of the South Lot or the overflow area near Decker Lake. Note that the turn into the main lot can be tight for 56-passenger coaches; your drivers approach from the Lancer Way entrance to ensure a wider turning radius.

Utah Jazz Action at Delta Center

While the Utah Jazz play in downtown Salt Lake City, Murray serves as one of the primary residential hubs for the team's most loyal season ticket holders. Getting a group of 30 or 50 people from Murray to the Delta Center via the I-15 Northbound can be a nightmare on a Tuesday night. Instead of splitting into a dozen rideshares, a private minibus or charter bus provides a direct, executive-style transfer.

The Delta Center is an iconic entity in the NBA Knowledge Graph, known for its steep seating and deafening crowd noise. Since its recent renovation, the surrounding area has become even more pedestrian-focused. Navigating a large vehicle through the 300 West construction and the heavy crowds near Vivint Arena’s plaza requires local expertise. We ensure your group is dropped off at the designated bus zone on 300 West, directly across from the arena's main doors, so you spend your time at the game, not walking from a distant parking garage.

Address: 301 S Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101

Charter Bus Parking: There is no onsite bus parking at the Delta Center. After drop-off, we typically stage our vehicles at the nearby Salt Palace Convention Center bus bays or the remote staging lot on 500 West. Your driver will be back at the 300 West curb precisely when the final buzzer sounds.

Youth Sports at the County Ice Center in Murray

Murray is home to the Salt Lake County Ice Center, a hub for youth hockey, figure skating, and local tournaments. Unlike the major professional arenas, this venue is tucked into a more residential/park-heavy area of Murray. For visiting teams from Provo or Ogden, finding space for a full-sized motorcoach in the standard lot can be a challenge, especially during weekend tournaments when the lot is shared with Murray Park visitors.

We provide specialized tournament shuttles for teams who need to transport heavy equipment bags and sticks. Our buses feature undercarriage storage that keeps the cabin aisles clear and safe. We can coordinate pick-ups from Murray-area hotels like the Residence Inn or the TownePlace Suites and provide direct transport to the rink, ensuring your players arrive on time for their warm-ups without the stress of local navigation.

Address: 5201 S Murray Park Ln, Murray, UT 84107

Charter Bus Parking: Bus parking is available in the northern section of the Murray Park parking area, but it is first-come, first-served. Your drivers often utilize the larger lot near the Murray Mansion for staging if the primary rink lot is at capacity.

Collegiate Sports: University of Utah Athletics

For many Murray residents, Saturdays in the fall mean one thing: heading to Rice-Eccles Stadium to watch the Utes. The climb up "The Hill" to the University of Utah campus is notoriously difficult for large groups due to the lack of public parking and the heavy presence of the TRAX light rail. A private charter bus is the "cheat code" for a perfect tailgate experience.

We can drop your group off at the designated shuttle turnaround near the Huntsman Center, allowing for a short, easy walk to the stadium. If you are heading to a gymnastics meet or a basketball game at the Jon M. Huntsman Center, the logistics remain just as smooth. Avoid the "U-Zone" traffic restrictions and the steep walk from the bottom of the hill. With Charter Bus Murray, you get door-to-door service that makes you feel like the VIPs of the Pac-12 (or Big 12).

Address: 451 1400 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84112

Charter Bus Parking: The University requires special permits for bus parking in the Guardsman Way lot. If you haven't secured a permit, your drivers will drop the group and stage at the nearby Sunnyside Park or the off-campus lot on Foothill Drive until the game concludes.

Baseball Tradition at Smith’s Ballpark

Just a few miles north of Murray on 1300 South lies Smith’s Ballpark, home of the Salt Lake Bees (Triple-A affiliate of the LA Angels). Known for having one of the best views in all of professional baseball—looking out over the Wasatch Mountains—it is a staple for summer group outings. However, the surrounding Ballpark neighborhood has very limited street parking and the main lot fills up hours before the first pitch.

When you book a shuttle for a Bees game, your driver can utilize the loading zone on West Temple to drop off your group right at the home plate entrance. This is particularly helpful for senior groups or school field trips. You can enjoy the game, the hot dogs, and the mountain views, knowing your air-conditioned ride is waiting just a text away. We help you bypass the post-game bottleneck at the 1300 South I-15 on-ramp by utilizing local backstreets like Main Street or 300 West.

Address: 77 W 1300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84115

Charter Bus Parking: Buses are generally required to park in the oversized vehicle section of the lot located on the corner of 1300 South and West Temple. Spaces are limited, so we recommend arriving at least 60 minutes before the gates open.
