A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Washburn Ichabods at Yager Stadium
In Topeka, few things bring the community together quite like Washburn University athletics. Whether it is a crisp autumn afternoon watching the Ichabods football team or a high-energy basketball game, Washburn is the heartbeat of local college sports. Yager Stadium at Moore Bowl (1700 SW College Ave, Topeka, KS 66621) is a historic venue that demands a proper tailgate and a dedicated cheering section. However, parking on a university campus during game day can be a logistical nightmare for large groups.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Topeka, you eliminate the stress of campus parking. We can drop your alumni group or student organization right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the stands or set up your tailgate without hauling coolers across campus. Our buses come equipped with undercarriage storage bays, perfect for storing tents, grills, cornhole boards, and folding chairs.
If basketball is your sport of choice, Lee Arena is right next door. A minibus rental is the perfect solution for transporting smaller fan clubs or visiting teams. With reclining seats and climate control, your group can stay cool during the warm early-season games or warm during the winter championships. Let us be your designated driver for the entire season.
High School Championships at Hummer Sports Park
Topeka is home to one of the premier high school athletic complexes in the Midwest: Hummer Sports Park (2751 SW East Circle Dr S, Topeka, KS 66606). This massive facility hosts state football championships, track and field meets, swimming competitions at the Capitol Federal Natatorium, and soccer tournaments. Teams travel from all over Kansas and neighboring states to compete here, and reliable transportation is vital for success.
Charter Bus Topeka specializes in athletic team transportation. We understand that yellow school buses, while functional, aren't built for long-distance comfort or focus. Our full-size charter buses offer the amenities athletes need to perform their best. With plenty of legroom, players can stretch out to prevent cramping. Onboard WiFi allows students to catch up on homework during the ride, while flat-screen TVs with DVD players let coaches review game footage or players watch movies to relax before the competition.
We also handle logistics for spectators. If you are a booster club or a group of parents traveling to support your high school team at Hummer Sports Park, a private shuttle keeps everyone together. You won’t have to worry about parents getting lost on I-70 or arriving late for kickoff. Everyone arrives at the complex together, ready to cheer.
Baseball and Softball Tournaments at Bettis Family Sports Complex
Located near the beautiful Lake Shawnee, the Bettis Family Sports Complex (3025 SE Croco Rd, Topeka, KS 66605) is a hub for baseball and softball action in the region. With multiple diamonds and state-of-the-art facilities, it regularly hosts large-scale tournaments that draw dozens of teams. If you are a travel ball coach or a tournament organizer, you know that managing equipment is one of the biggest challenges of the weekend.
This is where a charter bus rental becomes your team's MVP. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches feature massive luggage bays beneath the bus, providing ample room for oversized equipment bags, bats, helmets, and catcher's gear. You won't have to play Tetris trying to fit gear into the trunks of minivans or SUVs. Everything stays secure and organized in the bus.
Furthermore, Lake Shawnee offers plenty of recreational activities for downtime between games. Your driver can shuttle the team to nearby shelters for a team lunch, or take the group to local restaurants like The Blind Tiger Brewery & Restaurant (417 SW 37th St, Topeka, KS 66611) for a celebratory dinner. Having a dedicated bus means your team isn't stranded at the fields all day; you have the flexibility to move around Topeka on your schedule.
Indoor Action at Stormont Vail Events Center
For indoor sports, rodeos, and major exhibitions, the Stormont Vail Events Center (One Expocentre Dr, Topeka, KS 66612) is the place to be. Home to the Topeka Tropics indoor football team and various special sporting events throughout the year, this venue draws significant crowds. Navigating the parking lots and finding a meet-up spot after the event can be chaotic, especially for large groups.
Charter Bus Topeka simplifies the experience. We can arrange a drop-off and pick-up schedule that ensures your group avoids the worst of the post-event traffic jams. Whether you are organizing a corporate outing to a rodeo or a youth group trip to an indoor football game, our buses provide a VIP experience. Your group can socialize, listen to music over the PA system, and enjoy the anticipation of the event together.
For out-of-town teams competing at the Events Center, our buses provide a quiet sanctuary. Players can rest in the air-conditioned cabin between matches or events, staying fresh and focused. We can also shuttle your team to nearby hotels like the Cyrus Hotel or the Hilton Garden Inn, ensuring seamless transitions between rest and competition.
Golf Outings in the Capital City
Topeka offers some fantastic golfing opportunities for enthusiasts and corporate groups. Whether you are playing a round at the historic Topeka Country Club (2700 SW Buchanan St, Topeka, KS 66611), challenging yourself at Cypress Ridge Golf Course, or enjoying the public links at Lake Shawnee, transportation should be the least of your worries. Golf trips often involve bulky clubs and accessories that can be difficult to transport in standard vehicles.
A minibus rental from Charter Bus Topeka is the ideal solution for your next golf outing. Our shuttles have plenty of space to store golf bags safely, ensuring your clubs arrive in pristine condition. More importantly, renting a bus allows your group to enjoy the "19th hole" responsibly. After a day on the greens, you can enjoy drinks at the clubhouse or head downtown for a steak dinner without worrying about designating a driver. Your chauffeur handles the navigation and comfort, allowing you to relax and bond with your fellow golfers.
Road Trips to Kansas City & Lawrence
One of the biggest advantages of living in or visiting Topeka is its proximity to major sporting hubs like Lawrence and Kansas City. Topeka fans are die-hard supporters of the Kansas Jayhawks, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Kansas City Royals. However, the drive on I-70 can be tedious, and parking at major stadiums like Arrowhead or Allen Fieldhouse is expensive and stressful.
Charter Bus Topeka regularly transports fan groups from Topeka to these major sporting events. Imagine heading to see the Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (1 Arrowhead Dr, Kansas City, MO 64129) without the headache of navigating the parking lot lines. Your bus acts as the ultimate tailgating headquarters. You can load up coolers, grills, and tents, and start the party the moment you step onboard.
Heading to Lawrence to see the Jayhawks at Allen Fieldhouse (1651 Naismith Dr, Lawrence, KS 66045)? Avoid the frantic search for street parking on game day. Your driver will drop you off within walking distance of the Phog, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere immediately. After the game, while others are stuck in traffic, your group will be relaxing in reclining seats, recapping the highlights on the ride back to Topeka.
Youth Tournament Transportation
Youth sports are a year-round commitment in Topeka, with soccer, volleyball, and basketball tournaments taking place every weekend. For club directors and parents, coordinating travel for dozens of kids is a massive undertaking. Carpools often fall through, parents get lost, and kids arrive at the venue distracted or tired.
Charter Bus Topeka offers a professional solution for youth sports travel. By consolidating the team onto one bus, coaches can ensure team unity and punctuality. It provides a unique opportunity for team bonding that doesn't happen when players travel separately. Coaches can use the onboard PA system to give pre-game pep talks or discuss strategy.
Safety is our top priority. When you book with us, you are trusting your children to reliable people. Our buses ensure a safe journey to tournaments in Wichita, Overland Park, or out of state. Let the parents enjoy the game from the stands rather than stressing behind the wheel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Topeka Sports Transportation
Is there enough room for all our sports equipment?
Absolutely. One of the main benefits of booking a full-size 56-passenger charter bus is the storage capacity. These buses feature spacious undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate football pads, baseball bags, soccer nets, hockey sticks, and even golf clubs. Inside the bus, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a minibus for a smaller group, storage space may be more limited, so be sure to discuss your equipment needs with our reservation specialists at 913-413-8250 to ensure we match you with the right vehicle.
How far in advance should we book our team bus?
We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your season schedule is finalized. For major events, playoffs, or peak travel seasons (such as spring for school trips or fall for football), buses can book up quickly. Ideally, you should aim to reserve your bus 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing. However, Charter Bus Topeka understands that sports schedules can change due to weather or tournament brackets. We do our best to accommodate last-minute booking requests whenever possible.
What amenities are available for long road trips?
Our charter buses are designed for long-distance comfort. Most full-size motorcoaches come equipped with reclining seats, ample legroom, climate control, and an onboard restroom, which is essential for minimizing pit stops on long drives to away games. Additionally, you can request buses with WiFi and power outlets to keep players connected and devices charged. Many buses also feature flat-screen monitors with DVD players, perfect for watching game films or entertainment movies. If your team has specific amenity requests, please let us know when you call for your quote.
