UConn Huskies Fan Bus Rentals to Gampel Pavilion and the XL Center
Fill out one form and find the perfect fan bus for UConn Huskies games — one of the biggest reasons Meriden-area groups rent buses all year long! Gampel Pavilion (2095 Hillside Rd, Storrs, CT 06269) is just 35 miles northeast of Meriden via I-91 North and CT-44, and marquee UConn matchups at the XL Center (1 Civic Center Plaza, Hartford, CT 06103) are only 18 miles up I-91. With the UConn women's program holding 11 national championships and the men's team back-to-back NCAA champions in 2023 and 2024, demand for fan buses is enormous — especially for Big East Tournament weekends at Madison Square Garden in March.
Book 3–6 months out for marquee games, and 6+ months for the Big East Tournament. One bus, one pickup, and no one's stuck hunting for parking in Storrs or downtown Hartford! The Gampel Pavilion bus directions place bus drop-off at the East Entrance; UConn's Storrs parking rules cap the North and South Garages at 8 feet and require vehicles over 8 feet high or wide or 16 feet long to use oversize-vehicle parking.
Your full-size coach unloads at the East Entrance instead of trying to fit a garage, keeping your UConn game arrival clean and simple.
Charter Buses to Hartford Yard Goats Games at Dunkin' Park
Through the network of bus companies serving Meriden, you can easily find group transportation to Dunkin' Park (1214 Main St, Hartford, CT 06103) for a Hartford Yard Goats Double-A baseball game — one of the most popular group outing destinations in central Connecticut. It's only 18 miles up I-91 from Meriden, about 20–25 minutes off-peak, but post-game I-91 southbound traffic on a Friday night can add 30–45 minutes if your group is driving separately. A minibus or charter bus keeps everyone together, drops the group along Main Street near the park entrance, and means nobody is navigating downtown Hartford parking after a few innings and a few beers.
The Yard Goats season runs April through September — great for company outings, birthday groups, and school trips alike!
The Hartford Wolf Pack and XL Center Bus Rentals for Hockey Season
The Hartford Wolf Pack play AHL hockey at the XL Center from October through April, and playoff runs drive some of the biggest group transportation demand of the hockey season across central Connecticut. Charter bus drop-off at the XL Center is along Trumbull Street at the front of the arena, with buses staging at the Trumbull Street Garage or along Columbus Boulevard while your group is inside — downtown Hartford parking is tight on game nights, and a charter bus removes that headache entirely. With Meriden sitting just 18 miles south on I-91, the ride up is quick and the ride home is already handled.
Compare minibuses and full-size charter buses from the network and find the right fit for your Wolf Pack group!
Finding Group Transportation to Boston, New York, and Beyond From Meriden
Finding group transportation for a long-distance sporting event trip from Meriden has never been easier!

Fenway Park (4 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215) is roughly 145 miles northeast via I-84 East and I-90 East.
Gillette Stadium (1 Patriot Pl, Foxborough, MA 02035) — home of the Patriots and Revolution — is about 100 miles northeast. Yankee Stadium (1 E 161st St, Bronx, NY 10451) and Madison Square Garden (4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001) are roughly 100–110 miles southwest via I-91 and I-95. Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches with reclining seats, WiFi, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays make every mile comfortable.

Charter buses drop off along Trumbull Street at the front of the XL Center. Because downtown Hartford has limited parking on game nights, buses typically stage at the Trumbull Street Garage or along Columbus Boulevard while your group is inside. Confirm current event-specific staging with the venue before your visit, since assignments can shift by event.
The XL Center is just 18 miles north of Meriden on I-91 — about 20–25 minutes off-peak.
Gampel Pavilion is about 35 miles northeast of Meriden via I-91 North and CT-44 — roughly 40–50 minutes off-peak. For regular-season UConn games, book 3–6 months out. For the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden in March — one of the highest-demand weekends of the year for Connecticut buses — book 6 months or more in advance.
Waiting until the last minute means higher rates and limited vehicle availability!
Absolutely! Meriden's location at I-91 and I-84 makes it a great starting point for long-distance sporting event trips. Yankee Stadium is roughly 100–110 miles southwest via I-91 and I-95.
Fenway Park is about 145 miles northeast via I-84 East and I-90 East. Full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches with WiFi, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays are available through the network for both routes!
The busiest stretches are UConn basketball season (December–March), the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden (March), Patriots and Red Sox season (September–October overlap), and the Yale-Harvard "The Game" in November. Prom season in April and May also competes for bus availability across New Haven County. For any of these dates, book 3–6 months out — or 6+ months for the Big East Tournament weekend.
The earlier you compare, the better your options and pricing!
For most Yard Goats group outings from Meriden, a 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit — it's nimble enough for downtown Hartford, drops your group along Main Street near Dunkin' Park, and keeps everyone together for a 20-minute ride up I-91. Larger groups of 40–56 can compare full-size charter buses through the network. Just enter your headcount when you fill out the quote form and you'll see what's available for your date!
