Ask anyone who drove to Chase Stadium on a sellout Inter Miami CF night in 2024 or 2025 about the ride home, and you'll hear the same story. The I-95 ramp from NW 55th Street backs up well before the final whistle, Commercial Boulevard turns into a parking lot, and rideshare surge pricing kicks in before the players even reach the tunnel. Chase Stadium — located at 1350 NW 55th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309 — isn't a massive NFL venue, but its 21,550 seats routinely filled to capacity once Lionel Messi arrived in 2023, and the parking and traffic situation never caught up to that demand.
Every on-site parking lot requires a prepaid pass bought in advance. There is no day-of parking. And post-match, the commercial grid surrounding the stadium gives up very little time compared to what you spent inside.
The first team has since moved to Nu Stadium in Miami for the 2026 MLS season, but Chase Stadium is still very much a live sports and events venue — home to Inter Miami CF II (MLS Next Pro) and a stage for major concerts and showcase events throughout the year. The parking math and the approach roads are the same whether you're here for an Inter Miami CF II match or a special event. A charter bus or party bus rental to Chase Stadium solves both in one move: your group rides together from Miramar or anywhere else in South Broward, drops at the stadium's main entrance on NW 55th Street, and the vehicle handles the post-match crawl while everyone recaps the match.
Below is exactly how the logistics work — parking rules, bus drop-off, approach roads, and what shapes a quote — so you can plan the whole trip without guessing at a closed lot entrance. For a broader look at group transportation to Broward's sports venues, see the Miramar sporting event transportation page.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Chase Stadium
Chase Stadium's official matchday materials don't designate a separate charter bus gate the way larger NFL venues do — instead, the stadium's main vehicle approach runs along NW 55th Street, and rideshare drop-off zones operate near the main entrance at Gate 1 on the southeast corner of the stadium. That's where a private bus, a 15–35 passenger minibus, or a full 40–56 passenger charter bus can bring your group to the door — same NW 55th Street approach, same drop-off flow, without the walk from a remote rideshare lot.
The stadium's five entry points are: Gate 1 (southeast corner, ticket office opens 2 hours before kickoff), Gate 2 (northeast corner, primary home supporters entrance), Gate 3 (northwest corner, primary club entry), a VIP entrance on the west side for suite and club members, and a media entrance at the southwest loading dock. Gates open to the general public 90 minutes before kickoff — and re-entry is not permitted once you've exited. For group transportation to Chase Stadium with oversized vehicles, it's worth calling 754-243-5911 before matchday to confirm the current approach and where an oversized vehicle can stage during the event.
The Inter Miami CF A-Z matchday guide covers the full gate and entry policies.
Bus staging at Chase Stadium: car parks wrap around the east and south stands, where most vehicle circulation happens on matchday. A charter bus drops your group at the NW 55th Street entrance near Gate 1 and can stage nearby — rather than leaving your group hunting for a rideshare that won't arrive for 20 minutes post-match.
Chase Stadium Matchday Parking: Pre-Purchased Passes Required Each time
This is the detail that surprises the most first-timers: all Chase Stadium parking requires a pre-purchased pass. There is no walk-up, day-of parking available in the main on-site lots. The official Inter Miami CF parking page is explicit about this, and it applies to every event at the stadium.
Lots open three hours before kickoff. Digital passes display QR codes at entry — email confirmations are not accepted — and license plate enforcement is actively used.
Three reserved lots serve the stadium, each with a specific approach route that matters for which way your car is coming from. The Yellow Lot is the closest parking to the gates and is accessible only from the north via Cypress Creek Boulevard and NW 10th Terrace — vehicles approaching from the south along Commercial Boulevard cannot enter the Yellow Lot directly. The Audi Blue Lot offers a south entry via Commercial Boulevard and NW 15th Avenue (eastbound only) or a north entry via Cypress Creek Boulevard to NW 10th Avenue.
The Green Lot uses the same north entry off Cypress Creek Boulevard and NW 10th Avenue as its suggested approach, with a south entry via Commercial Boulevard and NW 15th Avenue as an alternative. When primary lots fill, Yellow Lot Overflow parking opens event-day at roughly 1110 West Commercial Boulevard, accessible from Commercial Boulevard and NW 21st Avenue — it still requires the same pre-purchased digital pass as the main lots. On-site parking passes for Chase Stadium events have generally run around $25 for general lots and $40–$60 for reserved premium spaces, purchased in advance through the stadium's ticketing system; exact pricing varies by event and seat tier.
A free shuttle runs from the Yellow Lot south of Commercial Boulevard to the Fan Zone at the stadium entrance. If you park in the overflow area, plan for that extra walk or wait for the shuttle rather than assuming a quick walk to the gate. We recommend checking the official parking page before your event to confirm lot availability and purchase your pass — spots in the closer lots go first.
The math on driving your own vehicles: a group of 25 people spread across eight or nine cars each needs its own prepaid parking pass — that's $200+ in parking alone before anyone buys a drink. One bus covers everyone for one arrangement.
Rent a Bus to Chase Stadium: Every Transportation Option Compared
South Florida traffic is what it is, and there's no magic way to get to Fort Lauderdale on a Tuesday evening without dealing with I-95 in some form. But the options aren't equal — here is an honest comparison for groups heading to Chase Stadium.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Door-to-door | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split across the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — NW 55th St drop near Gate 1 | 15–56 |
| Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) | Per car each way + post-match surge | No — multiple cars, staggered ETAs | Good pre-match; poor post-match surge | 1–4 per car |
| Brightline to FLL Station + rideshare | Ticket + $8–$12 rideshare each way | Only if on the same train | Good — ~3 miles from FLL station to stadium | Any, but no group control |
| Tri-Rail (Cypress Creek Station) | Per ticket + transfer | Only if on same train | Fair — just over 1 mile walk or BCT transfer | Any; no coordination |
| Everyone drives and parks | Pre-bought pass per car + gas per car | No — carpool splits up | Depends on lot; walks vary | 1–2 cars |
For one or two people coming from the Brightline corridor — say, a couple taking the train from Aventura or Miami — the train-plus-rideshare combo is legitimate and often the cheapest option. But the moment your group grows past a few carpools' worth of people, the coordination cost of separate vehicles adds up fast: different ETAs, split parking costs, nobody to coordinate the post-match departure. That's the group the rest of this guide is written for.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for Chase Stadium?
The right vehicle for a Chase Stadium trip comes down to two things: your headcount and how much pre-match time you want together. Miramarpartybuscompany.com connects you to a wide variety of vehicles through a large network of bus companies serving Miramar and South Broward — here's how the full vehicle lineup breaks down for this run.
| Vehicle | Seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to 14 | Small groups, corporate outings, quick transfers | Premium leather seating, USB charging, tinted windows |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | ~15–50 | Fan groups wanting the rolling pre-match energy | Built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, perimeter seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Mid-size groups, clean matchday transfer | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large groups, corporate buyouts, away fan travel | Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
For fan groups who want the party to start in the vehicle — not in a parking lot — a 25-passenger party bus or larger carries built-in bar amenities, color-changing LED lighting, and a premium Bluetooth sound system. For corporate suites groups or a clean club transfer with no frills needed, a minibus gets everyone there on time without the fanfare. And for larger outings — a full away-fan group busing down from Boca Raton, or a corporate block booking an event at Chase Stadium — a full-size charter bus brings the undercarriage bays for gear and an onboard restroom for the longer hauls.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; just note it when you request your quote.
Chase Stadium Charter Bus and Party Bus Rental Prices
No two Chase Stadium trips price identically — the quote depends on vehicle size, total hours on the road (including any pre-match time and the post-game wait for traffic to clear), the date of the event, and your pickup location. To give you a planning range: a 15–35 passenger minibus runs roughly $200–$250 per hour on weekdays and $200–$275 per hour on weekends, while a 40–56 passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour for either day type. Party buses scale with size — a 25-passenger party bus typically runs $250–$350 per hour on weekdays and $275–$375 per hour on weekends.
These are planning ranges to give you an idea; the real quote moves with your specific itinerary, date, and vehicle. Call 754-243-5911 or use the online quote tool — pricing for your exact trip comes back in about a minute.
The per-person math usually surprises people. A 25-person group on a 25-passenger party bus for a 5-hour weekday evening run (Miramar pickup, drop at the stadium, wait during the match, return) might run $1,250–$1,750 total — roughly $50–$70 per person. Compare that to 8 cars × $25 parking passes = $200 in parking alone, before a single tank of gas or a post-match surge fare gets added.
One bus, one flat arrangement, and nobody is waiting 30 minutes for a car that keeps repricing in real time. Check out the Miramar party bus prices page for more rate detail across every vehicle size.
Getting to Chase Stadium from Miramar, Broward, and Beyond
Chase Stadium sits on the western edge of Fort Lauderdale, right in the corridor between I-95 and Florida's Turnpike. The primary vehicle approach is I-95 Exit 32 (Commercial Boulevard West) — take Commercial Boulevard westbound and follow the stadium signage from there. From the Turnpike, Exit 58B (Commercial Boulevard East) reaches the same corridor from the west side.
On a normal afternoon that's a 15-minute drive from most of Broward; on a sold-out match night, budget for 30–45 minutes from that same exit to a parking lot.
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time (off-peak) |
|---|---|---|
| Miramar / Pembroke Pines | ~15 miles | 25–35 minutes |
| Hollywood / Hallandale Beach | ~10 miles | 15–25 minutes |
| Downtown Fort Lauderdale | ~4–5 miles | 10–15 minutes |
| Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) | ~5 miles | 10–15 minutes |
| Miami / Brickell | ~28–30 miles | 40–55 minutes |
| Miami Beach | ~30 miles | 45–60 minutes |
| Boca Raton | ~25 miles | 30–45 minutes |
Those off-peak times shrink to nothing on a Friday evening match when northbound I-95 through Broward County is already running heavy before the stadium crowd adds to it. Post-match, the official recommendation from traffic planners is to use Commercial Boulevard west to I-95 or take Powerline Road north or south as an alternate exit — avoiding Andrews Avenue as the congestion point. On a bus, none of that navigation falls on you.
The approach route handles itself, and your group is talking about the match instead of staring at brake lights.
Getting to Chase Stadium Without a Car: Brightline, Tri-Rail & BCT
South Florida's transit options for Chase Stadium are genuinely workable — but each one ends with a final-mile gap that a group has to solve. Knowing what that gap looks like tells you when transit makes sense and when a private bus is the cleaner call.
Brightline to Fort Lauderdale Station. Brightline's Fort Lauderdale Station sits approximately 3 miles southeast of Chase Stadium. The GOOOL Getter specialty train service historically ran dedicated pre- and post-match trains for Inter Miami CF home games, with a complimentary shuttle covering the 3 miles between the station and the stadium's Fan Zone entrance.
That shuttle dropped off and picked up near Gate 1, per Inter Miami CF's official announcements about the service. With the first team now at Nu Stadium in Miami, check Brightline's current event schedule at gobrightline.com for shuttle availability on Chase Stadium event dates before you rely on it. Fort Lauderdale Station is worth the ride if you're coming from Aventura, Miami, or Boca Raton and the shuttle is running — but for a group, you'd need to coordinate tickets for everyone and then still solve the 3-mile gap if no shuttle is available.
Tri-Rail: Cypress Creek Station. The nearest Tri-Rail stop is Cypress Creek Station (6151 North Andrews Way, Fort Lauderdale), just over a mile from the stadium. That's a long walk after a match, especially at night.
The practical connection is a transfer to Broward County Transit Route 14, which stops approximately 0.3 miles from the stadium, or BCT Route 55, which runs along Commercial Boulevard and stops about 0.2 miles south of the stadium — useful pre-match, but frequency drops significantly at night and post-match. For a group, this sequence (Tri-Rail to Cypress Creek, transfer to BCT, then a walk) makes coordination difficult and post-match timing unpredictable.
A private charter bus or party bus rental to Chase Stadium eliminates the transfer sequence entirely. Your group boards at one pickup point, arrives together at NW 55th Street, and the vehicle is staged for the post-match pickup when the final whistle blows — no surge pricing, no timing your departure around a bus schedule.
Leaving Chase Stadium After the Final Whistle
The post-match exit from Chase Stadium has its own particular rhythm, and it's worth knowing in advance. Commercial Boulevard — the main east-west artery between the stadium and I-95 — backs up on both sides as 21,550 fans try to reach the same two or three exit roads at once. Rideshare surge pricing begins before the match even ends, and wait times for available cars spike sharply in the 20–30 minutes after the final whistle.
Fans who parked in the overflow lots or Yellow Lot overflow on the south side of Commercial Boulevard face the shuttle wait first, then the parking lot crawl second. The stadium's post-match traffic flow typically routes vehicles west on Commercial Boulevard toward I-95 or toward Powerline Road as alternates; Andrews Avenue is the one to avoid.
A charter bus to Chase Stadium means none of that lands on you or your group. The bus is staged nearby during the match — you set your pickup window in advance so everyone knows the plan — and when the stadium empties, your group walks to the vehicle instead of joining the rideshare queue. The vehicle takes the best cleared exit route and your group is on the way back to Miramar or wherever the night takes you while everyone else is still watching surge prices tick up.
Call 754-243-5911 any time to get a price quote and sort out the post-match pickup plan before you ever leave home.
What to Know Before Your First Chase Stadium Visit
A few details straight from the official Inter Miami CF matchday info page and the A-Z guide that catch first-timers off guard:
- Pre-purchase parking — no exceptions. All on-site reserved lots require a prepaid digital pass with a QR code; email confirmations are not accepted at entry. Purchase through the stadium's official ticketing system before you leave home. Overflow parking at Commercial Boulevard and NW 21st Avenue opens on event day as primary lots fill, but show up early for any chance of a close spot.
- Clear bag policy strictly enforced. One clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12″ × 6″ × 12″ per person, or a one-gallon clear freezer bag — plus one small clutch no larger than 4.5″ × 6.5″. No backpacks, fanny packs, or opaque bags. There is no bag check at Chase Stadium, so anything that doesn't fit the policy must go back to your vehicle.
- Cashless concessions throughout. Chase Stadium runs fully cashless. Every register, portable cart, and bar accepts cards and mobile payments. Bring your card, not your cash.
- Gates open 90 minutes before kickoff; no re-entry. Once you exit, you cannot return. The Fan Zone and parking lots open 3 hours before kickoff — if you want a full pre-match experience, plan accordingly.
- Entry closes after the 65th minute. Late arrivals cannot enter after the 65th minute of play. If your group runs late, that's the window you're working with.
- Gate 1 ticket office opens 2 hours before kickoff. If anyone in your group has an issue with a digital ticket, Gate 1 (southeast corner) is where to handle it — not at the gate itself 15 minutes before kickoff.
- Contact for matchday questions: 754-243-5911 — useful if you're coordinating a large group arrival and want to confirm the current vehicle staging situation.
The full event-specific matchday details — including any road closures or schedule adjustments — are published on the official Inter Miami CF matchday FAQs page. We recommend checking it before your event date, since operational details can change by event.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to Chase Stadium
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Chase Stadium?
The main vehicle drop-off approach for Chase Stadium runs along NW 55th Street near the stadium's main entrance at Gate 1 on the southeast corner. Rideshare zones operate on NW 55th Street near that entrance, and a private charter bus or party bus can use the same curbside approach. Car parks wrap around the east and south stands, so the primary pedestrian and vehicle flow is concentrated on that side.
For oversized vehicles and specific staging arrangements, call 754-243-5911 before matchday.
Does Chase Stadium have day-of parking?
No. All three reserved on-site lots — Yellow, Audi Blue, and Green — require a prepaid digital pass purchased in advance. When those lots fill, Yellow Lot Overflow opens at roughly 1110 West Commercial Boulevard, accessible from Commercial Boulevard and NW 21st Avenue — but it still requires the same pre-purchased digital pass as the main lots, not a walk-up purchase. Arriving early for that lot is essential.
Everything must be bought before you leave home through the official Inter Miami CF ticketing system.
How much does parking cost at Chase Stadium?
On-site parking passes for Chase Stadium events have generally run around $25 for general lot parking and $40–$60 for reserved premium spaces, purchased in advance. Exact pricing varies by event and seating tier — check the official parking page before your event for current availability and pricing.
Can a charter bus get me closer to the gate than rideshare?
Yes. Rideshare at Chase Stadium drops passengers at the designated zone on NW 55th Street near the main entrance, and post-match surge pricing plus wait times make rideshare the most unpredictable part of the evening. A private charter bus or party bus uses the same NW 55th Street approach but stages for a pre-arranged post-match pickup — no waiting in a surge queue, no multiple cars arriving at different times.
The bus is there when you walk out.
How far is Chase Stadium from FLL Airport?
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is approximately 5 miles from Chase Stadium — usually a 10–15 minute drive in normal traffic. For groups flying in for a match or event, a direct bus pickup at FLL and a run straight to the stadium is a common and efficient request. See the FLL airport shuttle guide for full pickup logistics at the terminal level.
How far is Chase Stadium from Miramar?
About 15 miles via I-95 northbound to Commercial Boulevard (Exit 32 West) — roughly 25–35 minutes off-peak, longer on match evenings when the I-95 corridor through Broward runs heavy. From Pembroke Pines the distance is similar. A single pickup in Miramar with a direct run to the stadium is straightforward for most bus sizes.
Does Brightline still run a shuttle to Chase Stadium?
Brightline's GOOOL Getter service historically ran complimentary shuttles from the Fort Lauderdale Brightline Station (about 3 miles southeast of the stadium) to the Fan Zone near Gate 1 for Inter Miami CF home matches. With the first team now at Nu Stadium in Miami for the 2026 season, the GOOOL Getter now primarily runs to downtown Miami for first-team matches. Check Brightline's current event page at gobrightline.com to confirm whether a shuttle service is available for the specific Chase Stadium event you're attending.
How much does a party bus rental to Chase Stadium cost?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, how many hours the bus is reserved, the date, and where you're starting from. As a planning range: a minibus runs roughly $200–$250 per hour on weekdays; a 25-passenger party bus runs $250–$350 per hour on weekdays; a charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour on most dates. The real quote for your specific trip takes about a minute — call 754-243-5911 or use the online tool any time.
How far in advance should I book a bus to Chase Stadium?
For Inter Miami CF II matches and most standard events, two to four weeks of lead time is workable — but the earlier you call, the better the vehicle selection. For major showcase events, concerts, or marquee matchdays at Chase Stadium that draw regional interest, book as soon as the date is confirmed. South Broward vehicles move fast on big nights, and the right-size bus for a 30-person group goes before the last-minute calls come in.
Is there a comparison table for bus options?
Yes — the vehicle lineup comparison above covers every option from Sprinter vans to 56-seat charter buses, matched to group size and use case. The full vehicle page has photos and spec details for every bus size available through the network.
