Flagler Credit Union Stadium sits right off Glades Road in Boca Raton — and from Delray Beach, that's a 9-mile, 15-minute drive down I-95 South under normal conditions. Easy enough on any Tuesday afternoon. On a Saturday home game night, though, Glades Road backs up from the stadium entrance past Military Trail, I-95 exits clog, and finding a single parking spot that doesn't require a 10-minute hike costs you either money, time, or both.

The single question that separates a smooth FAU game day from a frustrating one is simple: where exactly does the bus drop your group off, and where does it park?

This guide answers it directly, using FAU Athletics' own published information, and then walks through everything else a group trip needs: which vehicle fits, what shapes the price, how the Rat's Mouth tailgate works, and how the Tri-Rail shuttle factors in. Flagler Credit Union Stadium is one of the most convenient game-day destinations in South Florida for groups coming out of Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and the surrounding Palm Beach County corridor — and this guide is the one most fan groups wish they'd had before they tried to figure it out on their own.

Why Rent a Bus to FAU Stadium?

The drive from Delray Beach to Boca Raton is short enough that most groups think they can just drive themselves. Then the first Owls home game rolls around and everyone discovers simultaneously that Glades Road has one main campus entrance, parking lots fill within the first hour after they open, and a group of 20 people now needs four separate cars and four separate parking spots — and somebody has to stay sober for the ride home. Coordinating a caravan from Atlantic Avenue to the stadium on a Saturday night is the kind of headache that starts arguments before kickoff.

A Delray Beach party bus or charter bus rental to FAU Stadium changes the math entirely. One vehicle, one parking arrangement, and your whole group rolls in together — coolers and tailgate gear stowed in the undercarriage bays, pre-game energy building on the way south down I-95. Nobody draws the short straw on who drives.

No one is hunting for a spot in Lot 5 while the other half of the group is already setting up chairs. And when the final whistle blows, the bus is waiting and ready to go while everyone else is stuck in the Glades Road bottleneck.

The distance alone makes this one of the easiest bus trips in South Florida. A 15-minute shuttle from Delray Beach turns into a full rolling pregame when you're not the one watching the road. Call 728-232-1310 to get an all-inclusive quote for your crew.

Charter Bus Drop-Off and Parking at Flagler Credit Union Stadium

Here is the part that surprises first-timers, so let's go straight to what FAU's own game-day guides say.

The team buses are routed to Lot 5, north of the football stadium, which is also where the student tailgate zone sits and where the Owls conduct their traditional Owl Walk approximately two and a half hours before kickoff. Fan groups arriving by charter bus use the campus road system to access the stadium from the main FAU entrance off Glades Road — turn east at the third traffic light past I-95, enter the main gate, continue to FAU Boulevard, and the stadium is on the left. That approach route funnels buses naturally toward the north side of the stadium and the adjacent parking areas.

For bus parking and drop-off details specific to your event, FAU Parking and Transportation Services is the right contact in advance: (561) 297-2771 or faupark@fau.edu. They coordinate oversized vehicle access for home games and can confirm where buses wait for your specific date. This is worth a call before you book, because lot assignments and access roads can shift between regular-season games, bowl week, and special events.

The one-line version: buses access Flagler Credit Union Stadium via the main Glades Road campus entrance, with Lot 5 (north of the stadium) as the primary area for team buses and the student tailgate zone. For oversized vehicle parking specific to your game date, contact FAU Parking at (561) 297-2771 before you arrive — that call saves your group from discovering the wrong entrance after lots are already filling.

Flagler Credit Union Stadium, 777 Glades Rd, Boca Raton — enter via Glades Road at the main FAU campus entrance, third light east of I-95.

Parking Costs and Lot Structure

General event parking at FAU runs $20 per car, cash only on most game days, with lots opening four hours before kickoff. Season ticket parking is available at $60 online through the FAU Athletics site. For the Boca Raton Bowl and other marquee events, the same $20 cash rate applies for general parking; RV and motor home parking in Lot 5 runs $100 for bowl game events.

Reserved Paradise Club spaces are also available through the athletics department for fans who want premium proximity to the gates.

The value of bringing one bus quickly becomes obvious. Eight cars paying $20 each is $160 in parking alone — before gas, before the who-stays-sober conversation, before someone in Car 3 takes a wrong turn off Glades Road and misses kickoff entirely. One charter bus rental for a Delray Beach group handles all of it at a per-head cost that often undercuts the car-caravan math once you factor in parking, gas from Atlantic Avenue, and the post-game rideshare surge when everyone tries to leave the lot simultaneously.

Confirm Your Drop Point When You Book

FAU's campus road layout matters on game days in a way that doesn't come up during the week. The main Glades Road entrance is the primary vehicle approach, but on sellout nights or bowl week the university sometimes closes interior campus roads to through traffic, funnel all event parking through specific lot entrances, and restrict which gate buses can use for parking. A chartered group bus for a noon kickoff against Memphis has a very different picture than one arriving for a Boca Raton Bowl with national TV coverage and a crowd from two different fan bases.

When you reserve with us, we sort out the current access route for your specific game date so your group is never circling an unfamiliar campus entrance wondering which way to turn. We always recommend checking the official FAU Athletics site and the FAU Parking page before your visit to confirm current lot assignments and access.

The Rat's Mouth Tailgate: What Your Group Needs to Know

The Rat's Mouth is FAU's official student tailgate zone, located just outside Gate 3, and it's the beating heart of the pregame scene at Flagler Credit Union Stadium. The area opens five hours before kickoff for drop-off and setup, though active tailgating doesn't begin until four hours before kickoff. For a 7 PM game, that means you can start setting up around 2 PM — which is exactly when a party bus from Delray Beach arriving around that time can unload tailgate gear directly and claim a solid spot before the lots fill.

A few rules worth knowing before your group arrives:

  • Vehicle access cuts off four hours before kickoff. "No vehicles will be permitted to enter or exit the designated area from four (4) hours prior to kickoff until halftime." Plan your bus arrival and gear unloading before that window closes.
  • Tents larger than 10×10 feet require pre-registration through FAU's Rat's Mouth reservation form. Maximum tent size is 30×40 feet, and tents must be secured with water barrels or sandbags — not staked into the lot surface. Tents N Events (954-979-7456) and Grimes Events & Party Tents (561-853-TENT) are listed as suggested vendors by FAU.
  • Generators are allowed — inverter generators only, positioned one parking space away from any tent.
  • Kegs, party balls, and glass bottles are prohibited. Charcoal must be fully extinguished before kickoff.
  • FAU is a tobacco-free campus. Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the Rat's Mouth.
  • Cleanup is mandatory. Three windows exist: before kickoff, at halftime, or after the game. Failure to clean up results in suspension for the remainder of the semester and possibly the following season.

Contact for Rat's Mouth registration and questions: Donald Van Pelt Jr., (561) 297-3735 or dvanpelt@fau.edu. For the full current tailgate procedures, see the official FAU tailgate page.

The undercarriage bays on a full-size charter bus are perfectly suited for a Rat's Mouth setup. Coolers, folding tables, canopy weights, and a speaker system fit easily in the luggage bays while passengers ride comfortably — no one is cramming gear into the back of an SUV or making two trips from a remote lot. The bus unloads everything curbside in one stop, your group claims a spot before the gates close to vehicles, and nobody has to stay sober the whole tailgate.

The Owl Walk and Gate 5

If your group is arriving early enough to catch the Owl Walk — and you should — FAU's team buses unload in Lot 5, north of the stadium roughly two and a half hours before kickoff. The players walk through the student tailgate area and enter the stadium through Gate 5. For a 7 PM kickoff, the Owl Walk runs around 4:30 PM.

It's worth building into your group's timeline: the buses arrive from downtown Delray Beach with enough time for the tailgate, the Walk, and a relaxed entry before the first quarter kicks off. That sequence is exactly what a chartered bus rental makes possible without stress — arrive early as a group, tailgate together, watch the Walk, then head in.

Getting There: Routes from Delray Beach and Nearby

From Delray Beach, the route to Flagler Credit Union Stadium is as simple as South Florida gets. Take I-95 South approximately 9 miles to the Glades Road exit in Boca Raton. Head east on Glades Road and turn left into the FAU main campus entrance at the third traffic light past I-95.

Continue on the campus road to FAU Boulevard, make a left, and the stadium is directly on your left. That's the entire approach — no complex interchange, no confusing ramp splits like you get heading to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

From… Approx. distance Typical drive time (off-peak)
Downtown Delray Beach (Atlantic Ave) ~9 miles 12–18 minutes via I-95 S
West Delray Beach / Military Trail area ~8 miles 15–20 minutes via Glades Rd
Boynton Beach ~12 miles 18–25 minutes via I-95 S
Lake Worth / Lantana ~16 miles 22–30 minutes via I-95 S
West Palm Beach ~22 miles 28–38 minutes via I-95 S
Fort Lauderdale ~28 miles 35–45 minutes via I-95 N

Those times are off-peak. On a Saturday evening with a 7 PM kickoff, Glades Road between Military Trail and the campus entrance backs up from approximately 5:30 PM onward. The I-95 Glades Road exit ramp runs short and fills fast.

A chartered bus that departs Delray Beach by 4:30 PM on a night game gets your group to the campus before the worst of that crawl, with time for the tailgate and the Owl Walk. Groups that try to leave at 5:30 PM in individual cars are routinely sitting in that ramp backup for 20–30 minutes without having moved a quarter mile. That's the specific congestion point worth knowing about before you plan your departure time.

The Tri-Rail Option: When It Makes Sense and When It Doesn't

FAU has long offered a free shuttle from the Boca Raton Tri-Rail station (at Yamato Road) to the stadium for home game days. Historically, two 57-passenger shuttles ran approximately every 20 minutes between 2:00 PM and 9:00 PM on game days. Palm Tran's Route 94 also connects the Yamato Road Tri-Rail station to the FAU campus.

For a group of two or three people coming from as far north as West Palm Beach, the Tri-Rail makes genuine sense — you ride south, catch the shuttle, walk into the game. But the moment your group grows past five or six people, the Tri-Rail math starts working against you. You're coordinating train departure times, hoping seats are available on the same train, waiting for shuttles that run every 20 minutes, and then doing the same thing in reverse after the game when everyone is tired and the last shuttle fills fast.

There's no rolling tailgate on the Tri-Rail. There's no undercarriage bay for your cooler. And if your group is coming from different points in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and Lake Worth, getting everyone to the same Tri-Rail station before the train departs is its own headache to sort out.

A charter bus or party bus rental from Delray Beach picks everyone up at one agreed spot — a parking lot on Atlantic Avenue, a hotel, a home — and delivers the whole group to the stadium gate. On the way back, everyone's already on the bus before the lot even starts to clear. That's the difference the charter makes for any group past a handful of people.

What Size Bus Does Your Group Need?

The 9-mile run from Delray Beach to Boca Raton is short enough that vehicle amenities matter less than they do on a three-hour interstate haul — but the question of which vehicle fits your group is still the right first question, because you never want to pay for seats you don't need.

Vehicle Typical seats Gear capacity Best for Key amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to ~14 Modest — coolers, a few bags Small groups, suite holders, VIP transfers Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows
Party bus (15–50 passengers) ~15–50 Onboard, lighter Fan groups who want the rolling pregame Built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Overhead plus underfloor Mid-size groups, straightforward fan shuttles Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Excellent — large undercarriage bays Large groups, tailgate gear, corporate outings Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays

For most Delray Beach fan groups heading to FAU games, the sweet spot is a party bus in the 20–40 passenger range. The built-in bar and sound system turn a 15-minute shuttle into the official start of the game-day celebration — and the onboard space means your cooler, your folding chairs, and your tailgate setup ride with you instead of getting shoved into somebody's trunk. For larger groups — a fraternity chapter, a corporate outing, a Delray Beach booster club section — a full-size charter bus with deep undercarriage bays handles the gear load and seats everyone in a single vehicle.

ADA-accessible vehicles are always available; just let us know before your game date and we will have the right setup ready.

What Happens at the Stadium on Game Day

A few things that catch first-timers off guard at Flagler Credit Union Stadium, straight from FAU's published policies:

  • Gates open two hours before kickoff for most events. For the Boca Raton Bowl and high-demand games, plan accordingly — the stadium fills well before kickoff for marquee matchups.
  • Clear-bag policy is in effect. One clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag not exceeding 12″ × 6″ × 12″ per person, or a one-gallon clear ziplock. Small clutch bags (up to 4.5″ × 6.5″) are also permitted. Backpacks, non-clear bags, and oversized items are turned away at the gates. FAU does hand out complimentary clear bags sponsored by Flagler Credit Union at the stadium entry points — but your group will move through security faster if you show up already organized.
  • No outside food or beverages. Concessions inside include 10 stands with 46 points of sale. The Florida heat is real: free water and cooling fans are available on the main concourse level.
  • Waze integration. FAU has customized the Waze Traffic App for game-day navigation, including restricted campus streets, lot availability, and proper lot entrances. Worth downloading before you arrive if anyone in your group is pulling in separately.
  • First Aid is located at sections 130 (southeast) and 112 (northwest) on the main concourse. Four elevators are in the Greenberg Tower for accessible access to upper levels.

One feature that makes Flagler Credit Union Stadium genuinely unique among college stadiums in the country: the skybox and press box overlook the Atlantic Ocean. From the upper levels, you get a 180-degree view of the water over the palm trees. No other college football stadium in the U.S. offers that backdrop.

Groups who arrive early enough to walk the upper concourse before kickoff are consistently surprised by it.

When Groups Book for FAU Stadium

The Owls play in the American Athletic Conference, and their home schedule at Flagler Credit Union Stadium runs September through November with five or six home dates depending on the year. The 2025 season's confirmed home games included contests against Florida A&M (September 6), Memphis (September 27), UAB (October 11), Tulsa (November 8), and UConn (November 22). Night games under the lights are the most popular group outings — the ocean backdrop at dusk makes for one of the more memorable game-day environments in South Florida college football.

Beyond the regular season, the stadium hosts the Boca Raton Bowl each December — now in its 12th year and one of the few college bowls played at an on-campus stadium in the country. The 2025 Boca Raton Bowl (officially the "Bush's Boca Raton Bowl of Beans") drew Louisville and Toledo on December 23 with a 2 PM kickoff broadcast on ESPN. Bowl week brings fans from two different programs, many from out of state, and parking fills faster than a typical Owls home game because the visitor contingent is unfamiliar with campus logistics.

Groups from Delray Beach and Boca Raton who book a charter bus for bowl week skip all of that uncertainty — they arrive at a known drop point, park once, and leave when they're ready.

For bowl week specifically: book your bus as soon as tickets are purchased. The vehicle supply in South Florida tightens quickly around the holiday week, and the Boca Raton Bowl's late-December date falls right when most companies are also coordinating holiday party and New Year's Eve transportation. December availability goes fast.

Call 728-232-1310 to lock in your date the moment your group commits to attending.

Every Transportation Option Compared

South Florida has more ways to get somewhere than most markets, so here's an honest comparison of how each option plays out for a group heading to an FAU game from Delray Beach.

Option Cost shape Arrive together? Tailgating? Best group size
Private charter bus / party bus One flat rate, split across the group Yes — everyone in one vehicle Yes — rolling pregame + tailgate gear in the bays 15–56
Individual cars + campus parking $20/car cash + gas per car No — caravans scatter Possible, but limited to your trunk 1–5 per car
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) Per car each way + post-game surge No — multiple vehicles, multiple ETAs No 1–4 per car
Tri-Rail + FAU shuttle Per-person train fare + shuttle wait Only if everyone boards the same train No 1–4; impractical for larger groups

The honest read: for one or two people coming from the Yamato Road corridor, the Tri-Rail and FAU shuttle is the smart call. But it doesn't scale. Once your group hits eight or ten people — a typical tailgate crew from Atlantic Avenue — the coordination cost of multiple cars, multiple parking fees, and the who-stays-sober question that nobody wants to answer tips decisively toward one bus.

The per-head math usually works out in the bus's favor at that point anyway, once you stack up $20 parking fees, gas from Delray Beach, and post-game rideshare pricing.

FAU Stadium Bus Rental Prices from Delray Beach

Party Bus Rental Delray Beach offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact price before you ever book. The quote for a Delray Beach to FAU Stadium run is shaped by a handful of clear factors:

  • Vehicle size — a 56-passenger charter bus and a 14-passenger Sprinter limo are different rates.
  • Total hours — how long the vehicle is reserved for your group, including tailgate time, the game, and the ride home.
  • Date and event — a regular-season Thursday night game prices differently than bowl week in December, when demand peaks.
  • Pickup location and route — a single pickup on Atlantic Avenue is a clean, short run; multiple stops across Delray Beach and Boca Raton cost more in time and mileage.

Here's the number that usually settles the debate. A group of 30 people driving separately to an FAU night game pays roughly $600 in campus parking fees alone ($20 × 6 cars assuming 5 people per car) — before gas from Delray Beach, before the post-game Uber surge when everyone tries to leave Glades Road at the same time. Split a party bus across those same 30 people and the per-head cost often undercuts the driving math entirely, with a rolling pregame included.

Call 728-232-1310 for a no-obligation quote or use the online tool for instant pricing.

A Real Game-Day Example

To put numbers on paper: a 28-person fan group books a 30-passenger party bus for an FAU Saturday night game last October. Pickup at 4:00 PM from a parking lot on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach, arrived at the Glades Road campus entrance by 4:20 PM — well before the lots closed to vehicles. Undercarriage bays held two coolers, a folding table, and a portable speaker.

The group hit the Rat's Mouth tailgate, watched the Owl Walk, and entered through Gate 5 before kickoff. Post-game, the bus waited on campus and had the group back on Atlantic Avenue by 11:15 PM. The 7-hour all-inclusive rental came to approximately $1,750 — about $63 per person, with parking, the who-stays-sober math, and the Glades Road crawl-home all handled in one flat number.

Leaving the Stadium After the Game

Getting out of the Glades Road corridor after a night game is where a lot of groups get surprised. When 20,000-plus fans head for the campus exits simultaneously, the FAU Boulevard and Glades Road intersection backs up quickly, and the I-95 on-ramps in both directions fill. Rideshare cars unfamiliar with campus layout often get stuck at the wrong entrance.

And individual cars that pre-purchased parking in the inner lots still have to wait in the line that forms from the lot exits back through the pedestrian crossing at the stadium concourse.

With a charter bus, you set a post-game pickup window in advance — your group knows where to meet and the bus is already waiting. There's no hunting for a ride in the Glades Road traffic pile. The bus swings through on the agreed route, picks everyone up at one spot, and is back on I-95 before the lot line even starts to move.

That 15-minute drive home from Boca Raton to Delray Beach stays 15 minutes instead of turning into 45.

Game-Day Tips for Groups at Flagler Credit Union Stadium

  • Arrive before the vehicle cutoff. The Rat's Mouth closes to vehicles four hours before kickoff. For a 7 PM game, that's 3 PM. Plan your bus departure from Delray Beach so your group is on campus and set up before that window closes.
  • Bring clear bags only. FAU enforces the NFL-standard clear-bag policy. The complimentary bags at the gate are a fallback — don't count on a line-free entry if your group is sorting bag issues at the security checkpoint.
  • Cash for parking. Game-day parking is cash only at most lots. If your group is splitting off from the bus at any point and individual members need parking, make sure they have cash on hand.
  • Pre-register your tent. If your tailgate setup involves a tent larger than 10×10 feet, FAU requires pre-registration through the Rat's Mouth form. No registration means no large tent, regardless of how early you arrive.
  • Use the Waze integration. FAU has built game-day routing directly into the Waze app. If any members of your group are driving separately to meet the bus, the Waze setup will route them to the correct lot entrance instead of a closed campus road.
  • For bowl week, book early. The Boca Raton Bowl is in December, which is peak season for South Florida group transportation. Buses book out for bowl week faster than for any regular-season game. Lock in your date as soon as bowl pairings are announced — typically in early December.

Trip Types We Cover to FAU Stadium

Different groups, same goal: everyone arrives at the Rat's Mouth together, the pregame starts on the bus, and nobody is scrambling for a rideshare after the final whistle. The runs we handle most often from Delray Beach and the surrounding area:

  • Fan groups and tailgaters. A Delray Beach party bus rental to FAU for a night game — built-in bar, LED lighting, and sound from Atlantic Avenue to Glades Road, coolers in the bays, everyone in one place for the Rat's Mouth.
  • Alumni and booster groups. FAU alum clubs and boosters in Palm Beach County who want a coordinated shuttle from a central Delray Beach or Boca Raton meeting point to their section and back. One charter bus keeps the group together and on schedule.
  • Corporate outings. Companies in the Boca Raton and Delray Beach corridors using Owls football for client entertainment or team-building — suite access is easier to coordinate when transportation is already settled in advance.
  • Boca Raton Bowl groups. Out-of-town fans flying into Palm Beach International Airport or Fort Lauderdale who need a group transfer to the stadium for bowl week. One bus from the airport handles the whole contingent instead of a caravan of rental cars in an unfamiliar market.
  • Fraternity, sorority, and organization shuttles. Greek chapters and student organizations in Delray Beach and Boca Raton who want round-trip shuttle service from an off-campus meeting point to the game and back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Flagler Credit Union Stadium?

Buses access the stadium via the main FAU campus entrance off Glades Road — turn east at the third traffic light past I-95, enter the main gate, proceed to FAU Boulevard, and the stadium is on the left. The team buses route to Lot 5, north of the stadium, which is also adjacent to the student tailgate zone. For specific bus parking spots on your game date, contact FAU Parking and Transportation Services at (561) 297-2771 or faupark@fau.edu before your visit.

How much does parking cost at FAU for home games?

General game-day parking is $20 per car, cash only, with lots opening four hours before kickoff. Season ticket parking is available for $60 online at fausports.com. For the Boca Raton Bowl and other special events, the general parking rate also runs $20 cash, while RV and motor home parking in Lot 5 is $100.

Reserved parking through the Paradise Club requires an athletics department contribution.

How far is Delray Beach from FAU Stadium?

About 9 miles via I-95 South to the Glades Road exit in Boca Raton. Under normal conditions, the drive takes 12–18 minutes from downtown Delray Beach. On game-day evenings, Glades Road traffic from Military Trail to the campus entrance can extend that to 30–40 minutes for individual cars — which is exactly why a bus that departs Delray Beach early gets your group there well ahead of that backup.

What is the Rat's Mouth tailgate at FAU?

The Rat's Mouth is FAU's official tailgate zone located outside Gate 3. It opens five hours before kickoff for drop-off and setup, with active tailgating beginning four hours before kickoff. The area closes to vehicles four hours before kickoff — no cars in or out until halftime.

Kegs, glass bottles, and large tents without pre-registration are prohibited. Contact (561) 297-3735 or dvanpelt@fau.edu to pre-register your setup if you're bringing a tent larger than 10×10 feet.

What is the clear-bag policy at Flagler Credit Union Stadium?

One clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag not exceeding 12″ × 6″ × 12″ per person, plus a small clutch (maximum 4.5″ × 6.5″). A one-gallon clear ziplock also qualifies. FAU hands out complimentary clear bags at the gates, sponsored by Flagler Credit Union — but showing up already organized means a faster entry for your group.

Backpacks, non-clear bags, and oversized items are not permitted.

Is there a free shuttle to FAU Stadium from Tri-Rail?

FAU has historically provided a free game-day shuttle from the Boca Raton Tri-Rail station at Yamato Road to the stadium, running approximately every 20 minutes during game windows. Palm Tran Route 94 also connects the Yamato Road station to campus. For a small group of two or three people, this is a viable option.

For larger groups coming from multiple Delray Beach or Palm Beach County pickup points, a private charter bus is far simpler — one pickup location, one vehicle, and no dependence on train schedules or shuttle wait times.

Can a bus stay at FAU Stadium during the game?

Yes — the bus is booked as a block of hours, so it can drop your group, hold tailgate gear and equipment in the undercarriage bays while you're in the stadium, and wait on campus for a post-game pickup at an agreed time and location. Set that pickup window with our team when you book so your group has a clear meeting spot when the final whistle blows.

When should I book a bus for the Boca Raton Bowl?

As early as possible once bowl pairings are confirmed — typically in early December. Bowl week in South Florida is one of the peak demand periods for group transportation, and December is already busy with holiday party and New Year's Eve bookings. The right-size vehicles go fast.

For regular-season FAU home games, two to four weeks of lead time is usually workable, but earlier is always better for preferred vehicle selection and pricing.

Do you have ADA-accessible buses?

Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are always available. Let us know your group's needs when you book and we will arrange the right vehicle. The stadium itself offers accessible parking on the first floor of the parking garage directly west of the stadium, and four elevators are available in the Greenberg Tower for accessible seating access.

How much does it cost to rent a bus from Delray Beach to FAU Stadium?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours reserved (including tailgate time and post-game staging), date, and your exact pickup location. For Delray Beach to FAU Stadium runs: Sprinter limos and vans run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour.
