Rangers fans across the DFW Metroplex know the routine: I-30 West from Dallas or I-30 East from Fort Worth, a crawl through the Arlington entertainment district, and then the search for one of the few remaining spots before first pitch. Getting 15, 30, or 50 people to Globe Life Field by car means stacking the cars, splitting the group across three different lots, and watching at least one caravan member hit a different exit and spend 20 minutes circling Randol Mill Road. A Dallas bus rental to Globe Life Field changes that entirely — your crew boards at one address, arrives together on Nolan Ryan Expressway steps from the gates, and has a clear pickup plan that does not involve fighting post-game I-30 traffic six people at a time.

This guide covers the part most transportation pages skip: exactly where a charter bus drops your group and where it parks, what actually happens to I-30 and SH-360 on game day, and how the tailgating rules at Globe Life Field work for an oversized-vehicle group. Party Buses Dallas runs these game-day trips regularly out of Dallas, Fort Worth, Irving, Plano, and across the Metroplex — so the logistics below come from doing it, not from guessing at a parking map.

Why a Dallas Charter Bus to Globe Life Field Makes Sense

Globe Life Field sits in the heart of the Arlington Entertainment District, wedged between AT&T Stadium and Texas Live! on a street grid that was not designed for 40,000 fans arriving in the span of two hours. Every game day, I-30 stacks up past the Baird Farm Road exit, SH-360 backs up from the south, and the surface streets around Randol Mill Road and Arlington Downs Road become gridlock before the gates even open. The parking lots — all cashless, all pre-purchase only — cost $15 to $60 depending on how close you want to be, and the premium Lots A and B fill up within minutes of opening.

A party bus rental in Dallas to Globe Life Field skips every layer of that problem. Your group boards at one spot — a hotel in Uptown, an office park in Irving, a neighborhood in Plano — and the bus drops everyone at the designated charter zone on Nolan Ryan Expressway, steps from the ballpark's exterior gates. No one is circling Arlington Downs Road at 6:45 PM wondering which lot still has space.

No one is drawing straws for who has to stay sober. Call 469-430-0949 and we will build the plan from your pickup address outward.

Charter Bus Drop-Off and Pickup at Globe Life Field

Here is the detail most transportation pages get wrong — and the one that decides whether your group walks in together or spends 15 minutes regrouping near the wrong gate.

Per Globe Life Field's own published guidance, the designated drop-off and pickup zone for buses and trolleys is on the northbound lanes of Nolan Ryan Expressway, between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags. That is where the Arlington Trolley stops and where commercial group vehicles are supposed to go — not on Stadium Drive, not on Arlington Downs Road, and not in the general parking approach lanes where oversized vehicles create backups. The Nolan Ryan Expressway zone puts your group on the northeast side of the ballpark, within easy walking distance of the exterior plazas and the Texas Live! promenade that connects to the northwest entry adjacent to left field.

Service in this zone begins 2.5 hours before first pitch for night games, so the bus has a clear window to pull in, unload the group, and proceed to Lot D for parking. For pickup after the final out, you set a window with our team before the game starts — the bus waits nearby and is right there when your group walks out, not circling Randol Mill Road in the post-game crush.

The one-line version: your bus drops your group on Nolan Ryan Expressway between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags — the same zone the official game-day trolleys use — and does not get routed into the general parking approach lanes with every other vehicle on the road.

Globe Life Field, 734 Stadium Drive, Arlington, TX 76011 — home of the Texas Rangers, with the bus drop-off zone on northbound Nolan Ryan Expressway between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags.

Where the Bus Parks — Camry Lot D and What It Costs

Here is the piece that first-timers consistently miss: Camry Lot D is the only lot at Globe Life Field that accepts buses and RVs. All other lots are passenger vehicles only. Lot D sits off Arlington Downs Road — enter via the D7 entrance at approximately 1905 Arlington Downs Road.

Bus parking runs $60 per game day, with a higher rate of $75 on Opening Day. All Globe Life Field parking is cashless, and Lot D capacity is limited, so the pass needs to be purchased in advance through the official Rangers parking page or the MLB Ballpark app before game day — not at the entry gate when you arrive.

The math behind one bus versus a caravan is straightforward. Lot A and Lot B premium spots run $30–$60 per car. Ten cars parking in the near lots cost $300–$600 in parking alone, before a single drop of gas or a minute of I-30 gridlock is factored in.

One bus pays $60 for Lot D and carries the entire crew — one cashless transaction, one permit, one vehicle to track down after the game.

We coordinate the Lot D parking permit as part of the booking, so your group is not discovering this at a lot entrance on game day. We always recommend confirming current pricing and availability on the official Globe Life Field parking page before your visit, since rates and lot assignments can shift by event.

Confirming the Drop Point When You Book

Globe Life Field hosts Rangers games, concert events, and major soccer matches with different approach plans for each. For FIFA World Cup 2026 matches at AT&T Stadium a few blocks west, Arlington's entertainment district puts road closures in place that ripple across the entire street grid — Randol Mill Road, Collins Street, and portions of Division Street can see restricted access during World Cup match days, and those closures affect routing to Globe Life Field even when a Rangers game is not the event. The city has also expanded no-pickup-or-drop-off zones for rideshares and private cars in the entertainment district during special events, which puts even more pressure on the designated commercial vehicle lanes.

Because the approach changes by date and event, our team confirms your group's exact drop point, Lot D access route, and any construction or closure impacts for your specific game when you book. We keep up with the Arlington city notices and Rangers operational updates so the plan is current on your date — not based on last season's parking map. Call 469-430-0949 to lock in your date.

Globe Life Field Transportation: Every Option Compared

Arlington has no direct light rail to Globe Life Field, and the rideshare situation post-game has its own complications. Let's be straight about how the options stack up for a group of more than a handful of people.

Option Cost shape Arrive together? Drop-off Post-game Best group size
Charter bus / party bus One flat rate split by the group Yes — one vehicle, one arrival Best — Nolan Ryan Expressway drop, steps from gates Waits nearby, no rideshare surge 15–56
TRE + stadium shuttle Per ticket + shuttle coordination Only if booked on same train Good — CentrePort Station shuttle to arena Works but requires timing coordination Any, but no group control
Arlington Trolley (hotel zones) Free from participating hotels Only if staying at same hotel Good — drops near Nolan Ryan Expressway zone Departs ~20 min after final out Small groups at participating hotels
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) Per car each way + post-game surge No — multiple cars, multiple ETAs Chatman Cutoff, south of Randol Mill Rd Surge pricing, 15–20 min wait advised 1–4 per car
Everyone drives and parks $15–$60 per car + gas per car No — split across multiple lots Depends on lot assignment Post-game I-30 crawl, everyone drives 1–2 cars max

For one or two people staying in a hotel near the Entertainment District, the free Arlington Trolley is often the right call — it drops near the same Nolan Ryan Expressway zone and costs nothing. The TRE from Dallas or Fort Worth works for fans comfortable with train schedules. But the moment your group outgrows a couple of cars, the coordination cost of multiple vehicles — scattered lot assignments, post-game rideshare surge on Chatman Cutoff, and the I-30 crawl back toward Dallas — tips toward one bus.

That is who the rest of this guide is written for.

The TRE and Arlington Trolley, Explained

Trinity Railway Express (TRE). The TRE runs between downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, and fans can ride east to CentrePort Station — the closest rail stop to Arlington. From CentrePort, a stadium shuttle runs to Globe Life Field on game days when fans show their ticket.

The rail option works well for individuals coming from the core of either city, but it requires coordinating train times with first pitch, and there is no direct stop at the ballpark — the shuttle leg adds time and a connection point that is hard to manage with a large group. See current schedules on the Trinity Railway Express website.

Arlington Trolley. The free game-day trolley runs from participating Arlington hotels in the Entertainment District to the northbound Nolan Ryan Expressway zone — the same drop point your charter bus uses — beginning 90 minutes before game time. Return trolleys depart approximately 20 minutes after the final out.

It is a genuine convenience for hotel guests in the district, but it does not pick up from Dallas neighborhoods, Plano, Irving, or anywhere else in the Metroplex. If your group is coming from across DFW — not just staying next door to the stadium — the trolley is not an option.

Rideshare post-game. The city of Arlington has expanded its no-pickup-and-drop-off zones in the entertainment district during special events. Post-game rideshare pickup is on Chatman Cutoff, south of Randol Mill Road and Stadium Drive — not on Randol Mill Road itself, where pickups are restricted after games.

The recommended move is to wait 15–20 minutes for the surge to clear. For a group of 20 people, that means standing on a surface street well past midnight after a night game, hoping five Lyfts arrive within the same 10-minute window. A charter bus is waiting right there.

There is no comparison.

What Size Bus Does Your Group Need?

A Dallas charter bus rental to Globe Life Field works for groups from about 15 people all the way to 56, and the right vehicle depends on two things: your headcount and how much tailgate gear you are hauling to Lot D. We offer a massive variety of vehicles, meaning you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need.

Vehicle Typical seats Gear / luggage Best for Key amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to ~14 Modest — a cooler, a few bags Small crews, corporate suite groups, VIP runs Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows
Party bus (15–50 passengers) ~15–50 Onboard, lighter Fan groups wanting the tailgate to start on the ride over Built-in bar, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Overhead plus some underfloor Mid-size groups, corporate outings, quick Metroplex hops Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Excellent — deep undercarriage bays Large fan groups, company outings, office party trips Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restroom, undercarriage bays

For groups heading to Globe Life Field with a full tailgate setup — tents, chairs, a grill — a full-size charter bus gives you the undercarriage bays to swallow all of it, plus an onboard restroom so nobody is making a pit stop on I-30 West. For fan groups who want the energy going from the first block out of Uptown Dallas, our 15- to 50-passenger party buses come with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and a sound system to keep the volume up from pickup to first pitch. ADA-accessible vehicles are always available — just let us know at least 48 hours before your game day.

Globe Life Field Bus Rental Prices

Party Buses Dallas offers all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact price before you ever book. Your quote is shaped by a handful of clear factors: vehicle size, total hours reserved (including the tailgate window in Lot D and the post-game wait), the game date and day of the week, and your pickup location across the Metroplex. A Saturday opener prices differently than a Tuesday night game in June.

For real ranges to anchor your estimate: 14-passenger Sprinter limos 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 party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Pricing depends on mileage, time of year, and vehicle type. The Lot D bus parking pass ($60 per game day, $75 on Opening Day) is a separate, pre-purchased cost.

Call 469-430-0949 any time for a free, all-inclusive price quote at no obligation.

The per-person math is worth running before you compare to driving. Fifteen people in three cars, each paying $30 for a near lot, is $90 in parking alone. The same 15 people in a minibus pay one flat rate, skip the parking scramble, and have someone else navigate the post-game I-30 crawl.

Once your headcount hits double digits, the bus almost always comes out ahead — and everyone in the group actually arrives at the same time.

A Real Game-Day Example

To put a number behind the math: for a Rangers home game last May, a 32-person fan group booked a 35-passenger minibus out of Uptown Dallas. Pickup at 5:45 PM, on Nolan Ryan Expressway by 6:40 PM — 80 minutes before first pitch. The group set up in the Lot D grassy perimeter area with a charcoal grill and folding chairs through the end of the 2nd inning, then walked in together through the main exterior plaza.

Post-game pickup at the Nolan Ryan Expressway zone at 10:20 PM, back in Uptown by 11:10 PM. Five-hour all-inclusive rental: $1,650 — about $52 per person, with I-30 traffic, parking, and the designated-driver problem all handled in one number.

Getting There: Routes, Traffic, and Timing

Globe Life Field sits roughly in the geographic center of the Metroplex — equidistant between downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth, with DFW Airport about 15 miles to the northwest. That central location is convenient in theory and punishing on game day, because fans pour in from every direction at once and funnel onto the same handful of exits.

From… Approx. distance Typical drive time (off-peak)
Downtown Dallas / Uptown ~18 miles via I-30 West 20–25 minutes
Downtown Fort Worth ~15 miles via I-30 East 24–30 minutes
DFW International Airport ~15 miles via SH-360 South 18–25 minutes
Plano / Richardson ~28 miles via US-75 S to I-30 35–45 minutes
Irving / Las Colinas ~12 miles via SH-183 W to SH-360 S 18–25 minutes
Grand Prairie ~7 miles via Arkansas Lane 12–18 minutes

Those times double or worse on game day. I-30 at the Baird Farm Road/Ballpark Way exit (Exit 28) is the primary approach from Dallas, and it is the first corridor to stack up. SH-360 from the north — the main route from DFW Airport and Irving — backs up from the stadium entrance southward.

The insider move here is to take Chatman Cutoff east instead of staying on I-30 past the standard exit, trading 5–10 minutes of surface-street driving for 20–30 minutes of I-30 standstill. For a charter bus, we build the approach route around that reality and factor in the tailgate window in Lot D, so the group is not sitting in the approach lane when they should be setting up chairs in the grassy perimeter.

For World Cup 2026 match days at AT&T Stadium, the entire Arlington entertainment district runs with expanded road closures and rideshare restrictions. Portions of Collins Street, Division Street, and the Stadium Drive corridor are only open to credentialed vehicles near AT&T Stadium, and those closures ripple across routing to Globe Life Field even when a Rangers game is not scheduled. If your Rangers trip overlaps with a World Cup match day, plan for significantly longer approach times and confirm the current road closure map with our team before you book.

Planners recommend arriving at your parking area three to four hours early on World Cup days.

Tailgating at Globe Life Field: The Rules

Globe Life Field permits tailgating in most lots, and a charter bus group arriving in Lot D can set up a full tailgate in the grassy perimeter areas. But the rules are specific — know them before you bring the gear.

  • Grassy perimeter only. Tailgating and all setup — tents, grills, tables, chairs — is permitted only in grassy areas surrounding the parking lots. No setup inside a parking space, and nothing blocking sidewalks or pedestrian traffic lanes.
  • Space allocation. Each tailgate party is allotted a space no larger than 9 feet wide by 12 feet deep in the grassy perimeter. Size your tent and grill accordingly.
  • Charcoal and gas grills are permitted. Deep fryers and open wood fires are prohibited. Spent coals go in the designated coal containers in the lots — not on the pavement.
  • Lots A, B, and T: no tailgating. Only the general parking lots allow setup. Lot D — bus and RV parking — is in the tailgating-permitted zone, so a bus group arriving in Lot D can set up in the grassy perimeter directly.
  • Time window. Tailgating is permitted from lot open through the end of the 2nd inning. Post-game tailgating is allowed up to one hour after the final out.
  • Lot opening times. For night games, lots open 2.5 hours before first pitch. For day games, lots open 2 hours before game time. Gates open 30 minutes after lots.
  • Catering restriction. Only Delaware North is permitted to cater tailgate parties in the lots. Outside food companies and private porta-potties are not allowed. Private cooler setups with your own food and drinks are fine; hired catering from outside vendors is not.

A charter bus is the ideal setup for this kind of tailgate: the undercarriage bays handle the folding tables, the tent bags, the cooler, and the grill, so the group walks straight from the bus into the grassy perimeter and sets up without hauling gear through a parking garage. Call 469-430-0949 to make sure your bus size has the bay capacity for what your group is planning to bring.

Bag Policy and What to Bring to the Gate

Globe Life Field does not enforce a strict clear-bag requirement, but all bags are subject to inspection. Knowing the rules keeps your group from hitting a delay at the gate entry.

  • Bag size limit: No bag exceeding 16" (L) x 8" (W) x 16" (H) is permitted. Each guest may bring a maximum of two bags.
  • Bag types allowed: Non-clear bags are permitted within the size limit. Single-compartment drawstring bags and manufactured diaper bags are also allowed.
  • Prohibited bags: Coolers of any kind are not allowed inside the ballpark.
  • Outside food: Outside food is allowed if it is inside a sealed, clear quart-sized (or smaller) plastic bag. One bag of food per ticket.
  • Water: One sealed, unflavored plastic water bottle up to 1 liter per ticket is permitted. Flavored drinks, glass/metal/aluminum containers, tumblers, and thermoses are not allowed through the gates.

What stays on the bus: the oversized cooler, glass containers, and anything that does not fit the size limit. The bus holds it all in the undercarriage bays while your group is inside — which is exactly why a charter bus group comes in cleaner at the gate than a caravan that has been hauling everything in car trunks. See the official Globe Life Field bag policy page before your visit, since policies can be updated between seasons.

What's at Globe Life Field in 2026

The Rangers play 81 home games at Globe Life Field from the home opener through late September, with the 2026 home schedule kicking off on April 3 against the Cincinnati Reds. The 40,300-seat ballpark features the world's largest single-panel retractable roof — a 240,000-square-foot structure that opens or closes in 12 minutes. The roof stays closed for the majority of Texas summer games, keeping the Texas heat outside with natural light coming through the transparent ETFE panels; the best windows for an open-roof game are April, May, September, and October when temperatures drop below 80°F. Opening Day draws some of the highest demand of the year — the 2026 opener featured the first 30,000 fans through the gates receiving a free magnet schedule — which is exactly why bus rentals for Opening Day book out early, and Lot D bus parking at $75 fills up fast.

Beyond the regular season, Globe Life Field hosts concert events and special promotions throughout the calendar. Dollar Dog Night runs every Wednesday home game, making mid-week night games a popular target for office group outings and casual fan groups. Weekend games typically include promotional giveaways.

For groups planning around a specific promotion or game, we recommend booking your bus as soon as your date is confirmed — weekend games in April and September, when roof-open weather is most likely, tend to draw the largest crowds and the tightest Lot D availability. The 2026 season features 38 promotional giveaways, the most in franchise history, so there are plenty of dates worth circling on the calendar.

Coming From Out of Town? DFW Airport Pickups and Hotel Loops

A lot of Rangers fan groups — corporate outings, alumni trips, multiday visits — include people flying into DFW International Airport, and the bus solves the airport-to-stadium leg cleanly. DFW Airport sits about 15 miles northwest of Globe Life Field via SH-360 South — roughly 18–25 minutes off-peak, longer on game day. One bus gathers the whole group at baggage claim and runs them straight to the hotel or to Lot D, instead of sorting out six rideshares from three different terminal exits.

For groups staying in the Arlington Entertainment District, several hotels participate in the free Arlington Trolley service. But groups spread across the Metroplex — some in Uptown Dallas, some near the airport, some in Grapevine or Irving — need a coordinated single-vehicle solution. A charter bus hits your hotel stops in one loop and delivers everyone to the Nolan Ryan Expressway drop zone together, rather than having half the group already inside the park while the other half is still waiting on a rideshare from their hotel in Las Colinas.

If any of your out-of-town guests are also attending events at AT&T Stadium or catching a Mavericks or Stars game at American Airlines Center on the same trip, we coordinate multi-stop Metroplex itineraries — same bus, same group, different venues across different days. Call 469-430-0949 to talk through the full trip.

The Trips We Make to Globe Life Field

Different groups, same goal: everyone arrives together, on schedule, and no one is handling keys at the end of a night game. A few of the runs we handle most often out of Dallas:

  • Office and company groups. Corporate suite bookings, department outings, and company-wide fan trips where the client and their staff need to arrive together — not scattered across the I-30 approach. The bus parks in Lot D, and everyone is at the gate before the first pitch.
  • Large fan groups and friend crews. Groups of 20 to 56 fans who want the tailgate to start on the ride from Dallas rather than in a parking lot in Arlington. Our party buses come with a built-in bar and sound system to keep the energy up from pickup to first pitch.
  • Out-of-town group visits. Alumni groups, family reunions, or visiting fan groups flying into DFW who need a single coordinated transfer from the airport to the hotel to the ballpark and back.
  • Celebrations and milestone trips. Birthday groups, bachelorette trips, and anniversary outings where the Rangers game is the backdrop and the bus is the event — LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and no one drawing straws for who has to drive back to Dallas at midnight.
  • School and youth groups. Field trips and youth organization outings to a Rangers game, where one vehicle means one headcount and no parent-carpool logistics.

Booking Your Globe Life Field Bus: How It Works

Booking a charter bus or party bus to Globe Life Field is straightforward, and a little lead time makes it seamless:

  1. Request a quote with your group size, pickup location, game date, and how much tailgate time you want in Lot D before first pitch.
  2. Confirm the vehicle and the Lot D permit. We match you to the right vehicle, coordinate the Lot D bus parking pass, and verify the current drop-off routing for your specific game date.
  3. Set your post-game pickup window. We keep the bus nearby during the game so it is right there when your group walks out — not circling Randol Mill Road waiting for a text.

A few booking notes worth knowing: Opening Day on April 3 is the single hardest date to secure bus parking in Lot D — if that game is on your calendar, call as soon as the schedule drops. Weekend games in April, May, and September fill the fleet faster than Tuesday night games in August. For groups of 40 or more, a full-size charter bus in our network books weeks out during the spring home stand.

The earlier you call, the better the vehicle options — and the lower the chance that Lot D is sold out before your group arrives. Call 469-430-0949 to lock in your date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does a charter bus drop off at Globe Life Field?

The designated drop-off and pickup zone for buses and trolleys is on the northbound lanes of Nolan Ryan Expressway, between Randol Mill Road and Road to Six Flags. That is the same zone the free Arlington Trolley uses, and service begins 2.5 hours before first pitch for night games. Rideshare drop-off, by contrast, is on Chatman Cutoff south of Randol Mill Road — a separate zone that requires navigating around the general parking approach lanes.

A charter bus uses the commercial zone, not the rideshare zone.

Where do buses park at Globe Life Field?

Camry Lot D is the only lot at Globe Life Field that accepts buses and RVs. Enter via the D7 entrance off Arlington Downs Road (approximately 1905 Arlington Downs Road). Bus parking costs $60 per game day ($75 on Opening Day), must be purchased in advance through the Rangers parking page or MLB Ballpark app, and is limited in capacity — not something you sort out at the lot entrance.

We coordinate the Lot D pass as part of the booking. Confirm current pricing and availability on the official Globe Life Field parking page.

How much does it cost to rent a bus to Globe Life Field?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours (including tailgate time and post-game wait), the game date, and your pickup location across the Metroplex. As a guide: 14-passenger Sprinter limos 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 party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour. Lot D bus parking ($60 regular / $75 Opening Day) is a separate, pre-purchased cost.

Call 469-430-0949 or use our online tool for an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.

What roads back up around Globe Life Field on game day?

I-30 from the Dallas side backs up starting at Baird Farm Road/Ballpark Way (Exit 28) well before first pitch. SH-360 from the north — the main route from DFW Airport and Irving — stacks from the stadium entrance southward. The insider move is Chatman Cutoff east instead of the standard I-30 exit.

On World Cup days at AT&T Stadium a few blocks west, closures ripple across the entire street grid and can affect routing to Globe Life Field even on non-Rangers game days. We confirm the current approach route for your date when you book.

Can a bus group tailgate at Globe Life Field?

Yes. Lot D — the bus and RV lot — is in the tailgating-permitted zone. Setup (tents, grills, tables, chairs) is allowed in the grassy perimeter areas only, not inside parking spaces.

Each group gets a space no larger than 9 feet wide by 12 feet deep. Charcoal and gas grills are permitted; deep fryers and open wood fires are not. Tailgating is permitted from lot open through the end of the 2nd inning.

Lots A, B, and T are the lots with no tailgating — Lot D is not on that list.

What is the bag policy at Globe Life Field?

Bags cannot exceed 16" x 8" x 16", with a maximum of two bags per person. Non-clear bags are allowed. Coolers are prohibited inside the ballpark.

Outside food is allowed in a sealed, clear quart-sized plastic bag (one per ticket). One sealed, unflavored water bottle up to 1 liter per ticket is permitted; glass/metal/aluminum containers, tumblers, and thermoses are not. All bags are subject to inspection.

Confirm the current policy on the official bag policy page before your visit.

Does a charter bus need a parking permit at Globe Life Field?

Yes. Bus parking in Lot D must be purchased in advance — all Globe Life Field lots are cashless, and there is no day-of bus parking sold at the lot entrance. The pass runs $60 per regular game day and $75 on Opening Day.

Capacity in Lot D is limited, which is why early booking matters most for high-demand games like the home opener, weekend promotions, and September playoff-race games. We handle the permit coordination as part of your booking.

How far in advance should we book for Opening Day or a big weekend game?

For Opening Day (April 3, 2026), book as soon as the schedule drops — Lot D fills up and the right-size vehicles go first. For weekend games in April, May, and September (the best weather months for outdoor experience even with the roof closed), two to four weeks of lead time is minimum; six to eight weeks is better. Tuesday and Wednesday night games in the summer give you more flexibility.

The safest answer: call 469-430-0949 the moment your date is confirmed and we will tell you where availability stands.

Do you have ADA-accessible buses?

Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are always available. Let us know your needs at least 48 hours before your game day and we will arrange the right vehicle for your group.
