Charter Bus Parking & Dropoff at Sports Venues in Olive Branch

FedExForum (Home of the Memphis Grizzlies)

It takes just 25 minutes to ride from Olive Branch to FedExForum to cheer on the Memphis Grizzlies or University of Memphis Tigers! Renting a charter bus or party bus lets your whole group skip the downtown garage hunt right off iconic Beale Street.

Major Roadways to FedExForum

Your driver can take US-78 West (Lamar Avenue) or I-55 North out of DeSoto County straight toward I-240 and the Danny Thomas Boulevard (US-51) exit. From there, Linden Avenue and Third Street (BB King Boulevard) connect directly to the arena footprint.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at FedExForum

For quick group unloading, charter buses pull up to the designated commercial loading zone along Linden Avenue on the south side of the arena or along Fourth Street near the main plaza. Because Beale Street is closed to vehicle traffic, buses cannot access the north side of the building. Have your group gathered inside near the Grand Lobby after the final buzzer before texting your driver to pull up to the curb. Active loading is strictly enforced, so everyone should be ready to hop right on!

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at FedExForum

The on-site Toyota Parking Garage has low height clearances and cannot fit motorcoaches or high-roof 25-passenger minibuses. Instead, your driver can stage in oversized surface lots south of Linden Avenue between Third Street and Danny Thomas Boulevard, or relocate to commercial bus parking near the Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid. Be sure to budget separately for downtown surface lot fees on game night!

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Expect heavy pedestrian crowds and road closures around BB King Boulevard (Third Street), Fourth Street, and Linden Avenue starting two hours before tip-off. If your Grizzlies game overlaps with weekday rush hour on the I-55 Mississippi River Bridge or I-240, pad your Olive Branch departure by at least 30 to 45 minutes. After the game, Memphis police direct traffic south toward Crump Boulevard for a smoother exit back to Mississippi.

Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium (Home of the Memphis Mad Dogs)

Book a private fan shuttle or team motorcoach to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, the historic Mid-South gridiron home of the Memphis Mad Dogs, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, and the Southern Heritage Classic! Situated in the heart of Midtown Memphis at the Fairgrounds, this outdoor stadium is less than 20 miles from Olive Branch.

Major Roadways to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium

Groups departing Olive Branch can ride US-78 West (Lamar Avenue) straight into Midtown Memphis, avoiding the interstate loop altogether. You can also take I-240 West to the Airways Boulevard exit or connect via Central Avenue and East Parkway South. These main corridors feed directly into the stadium’s perimeter access gates.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium

Smaller 18-passenger minibuses and sprinter vans can drop passengers off along Early Maxwell Boulevard or near Access Road 4 off Southern Avenue. Full-size charter buses should enter through the designated bus gates off East Parkway South or Hollywood Street to unload inside the perimeter. Coordinate a clear post-game meeting spot with your driver near the Tiger Lane plaza so nobody gets lost in the 50,000-fan crowd!

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium

Unlike cramped downtown arenas, Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium features expansive surface lots surrounding Liberty Park that easily accommodate 56-passenger motorcoaches and tailgating party buses! Oversized vehicles are typically directed to designated bus and RV stalls in the southern and eastern Fairgrounds lots off Southern Avenue and Hollywood Street. We recommend pre-purchasing your oversized bus parking pass before major bowl games or rivalry Saturdays so your spot is locked in.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

On major football Saturdays, traffic backs up fast along East Parkway, Central Avenue, and Airways Boulevard at least two hours before kickoff. Memphis police convert several Fairgrounds access roads into one-way lanes before and after the game to keep traffic moving. Plan to arrive in Olive Branch or Midtown at least 90 to 120 minutes early so your group can unload coolers from the undercarriage bays and tailgate on Tiger Lane. Once the fourth quarter wraps up, stay in touch with your driver by text as outbound lanes are redirected toward US-78 and I-240.

AutoZone Park (Home of Memphis 901 FC)

Make your next trip to AutoZone Park a breeze when you travel together aboard an air-conditioned Olive Branch charter bus! Located right in Downtown Memphis at Third Street and Union Avenue, this brick ballpark has hosted thrilling Memphis 901 FC soccer matches and Memphis Redbirds Triple-A baseball games for fans across the Mid-South. Your whole group rides in together from DeSoto County, steps off right by the gates, and skips the post-game rideshare surge pricing. Plus, our confirmation department calls you after you book to verify every stop on your downtown itinerary!

Major Roadways to AutoZone Park

From Olive Branch, take I-55 North across the state line to I-240 and merge onto I-40 West or exit at Union Avenue heading west into Downtown Memphis. Drivers can also take US-78 West to Danny Thomas Boulevard and turn left onto Union Avenue or Madison Avenue.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at AutoZone Park

Your driver can pull up to the curb for active passenger unloading along Union Avenue on the south side of the stadium or along BB King Boulevard (Third Street) near the left-field plaza entrance. Because Madison Avenue on the north side carries MATA trolley tracks and tight pedestrian crossings, we recommend sticking to Union Avenue or Fourth Street for group loading. Gather your whole group at the Third & Union plaza gates before calling your bus back to the curb.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at AutoZone Park

AutoZone Park does not have an dedicated on-site oversized bus lot, and adjacent downtown garages have strict height limits under 7 feet. After dropping your group off, your driver will relocate to commercial surface lots south of Beale Street, near Linden Avenue, or along Riverside Drive until the final whistle or ninth inning.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Because AutoZone Park sits just two blocks north of FedExForum and Beale Street, overlapping concerts, Grizzlies games, and weekend festivals can bring downtown traffic to a crawl. Portions of Third Street (BB King Boulevard) and Toyota Center Way often have police traffic control during evening matches. If you are heading up from Olive Branch for a weeknight kickoff, leave at least 45 minutes early to clear rush-hour congestion on I-55 and Union Avenue. Your driver will monitor downtown street closures in real time so your pickup spot stays easy to reach.

Lander's Center (Home of the Mississippi RiverKings)

You don't have to cross the Tennessee state line to catch big-time arena action when Landers Center is just 15 minutes west of Olive Branch! As the longtime DeSoto County home of the Mississippi RiverKings, the Memphis Hustle (NBA G League), concerts, and regional tournaments, this 10,000-seat venue is a staple for local groups. Rent a minibus, party bus, or charter bus so your whole group rides over together!

Major Roadways to Lander's Center

Traveling from Olive Branch to Southaven is fast and direct via Goodman Road (MS-302 West) or the I-269 loop to I-55 North. Take I-55 to Exit 287 (Church Road), head east on Church Road, and turn north onto Venture Drive. You can also access the arena complex from Stateline Road (Main Street) via Airways Boulevard and unek/Venture Drive to bypass interstate backups.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Lander's Center

Landers Center is built with wide suburban roadways that make motorcoach access much simpler than downtown Memphis venues. Your bus can pull directly into the main entrance drive off Venture Drive to unload passengers curbside right in front of the box officerotunda and convention hall doors. After the event, meet your group outside the main east entrance and your driver will pull right up for a seamless load-up.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Lander's Center

There are no low-clearance parking garages to worry about at Landers Center! The venue is surrounded by expansive, flat surface parking lots with plenty of room for 35-passenger minibuses, party buses, and full-size 56-passenger charter buses to park and stage on-site. Event staff will direct your driver to the designated perimeter bus rows on the north or south end of the lot so your ride is waiting right on the property when the show ends.

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

While street closures are rare in Southaven, the I-55 and Church Road (Exit 287) interchange and Goodman Road see heavy congestion during sold-out arena events and youth sports tournaments. Southaven Police direct traffic along Venture Drive and Church Road before and after major shows to keep the surface lots clearing steadily. Arriving 45 to 60 minutes before the doors open ensures your bus breezes right past the Exit 287 ramp line!

Centennial Bank Stadium (Home of the Arkansas State Red Wolves)

Keep your college football fans or visiting athletic roster comfortable on an away-game road trip to Centennial Bank Stadium, home of the Arkansas State Red Wolves! Located about 90 minutes northwest of Olive Branch, this 30,000-seat stadium is a popular Saturday destination for Mid-South alumni chapters, marching bands, and traveling teams. Booking a long-distance charter bus in Olive Branch gives everyone reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and an onboard restroom for the ride across the Mississippi River. Plus, you get cavernous undercarriage bays for all your tailgating tents, coolers, and team equipment!

Major Roadways to Centennial Bank Stadium

Your charter bus will head west from Olive Branch across the I-55 Bridge into West Memphis, merge onto I-55 North, and take Exit 23B for I-555 North straight into Jonesboro. From I-555, take Exit 42 (Red Wolf Boulevard / AR-1) or Exit 45 ( matching Johnson Avenue / US-49) toward the Arkansas State University campus. Both routes feed directly into Marion Berry Parkway and Olympic Drive on the north and east sides of the stadium.

Charter Bus Drop-Off & Pickup at Centennial Bank Stadium

Visiting team buses and private fan charters typically approach via Johnson Avenue (US-49) and Olympic Drive or along Marion Berry Parkway adjacent to the First National Bank Arena. Fans can step off at the designated drop-off zones near the northeast gates by Tomlinson Stadium or along the outer perimeter of the grassy tailgating lots. Before heading inside to watch the Red Wolves, confirm your post-game pickup point with your driver along Olympic Drive so your whole group can board quickly after the fourth quarter.

Charter Bus Parking & Waiting at Centennial Bank Stadium

Arkansas State University provides oversized vehicle, RV, and charter bus parking in the surface lots near First National Bank Arena and the designated grass and paved lots off Olympic Drive and Marion Berry Parkway. Game-day bus parking passes should be arranged in advance through the A-State Athletics Box Office or Red Wolves Foundation, especially for homecoming and Sun Belt Conference matchups. Your bus can remain parked on campus throughout the game so your group has a home base for pre-game tailgating!

Event-Day Closures & Traffic

Campus streets inside the inner stadium ring, including portions of Olympic Drive and Aggie Road, close to general through-traffic three to four hours prior to kickoff on Red Wolves game days. Plan to depart Olive Branch at least three hours before game time so you clear the I-55 Bridge and Red Wolf Boulevard traffic with plenty of time to enjoy the tailgating scene!

Quick Tips for Olive Branch Game-Day Charter Bus Groups

On game day, always gather your entire group at your agreed-upon stadium gate before calling your driver to the pickup curb, since downtown Memphis and venue officers enforce strict 5-minute active loading limits! If you only need a quick drop-off and pickup without paying a standard 2- or 5-hour online minimum, call the 365-day support team to ask about split-time packages, custom group transportation services, and exclusive phone-only discounts.
