Fort Lauderdale's Chase Stadium — officially listed as Inter Miami CF Stadium on club publications but still widely known by its Chase name — sits just west of I-95 at 1350 NW 55th Street, which sounds simple enough until you hit the parking page. Every single lot at the venue requires a pre-purchased digital pass. Show up on a Friday night without one and the Yellow Lot attendant sends you to overflow on the far side of Commercial Boulevard — where a free stadium shuttle picks up and eventually delivers you to the Fan Zone, assuming you timed the approach correctly and the overflow lot hadn't already filled up too.
For a group of 20 or 30 Pembroke Pines fans splitting into multiple cars, that scenario — coordinating separate arrivals, juggling pass purchases, and navigating the post-match rideshare surge — is the whole problem a charter bus or party bus solves in one move.
This guide covers the practical details: where buses drop off at Chase Stadium, how the parking system works and where it breaks down for groups, what Brightline's GOOOL GETTER shuttle offers for fans coming from Miami, which vehicle size matches your headcount, and what the 2026 event calendar looks like. Partybuspembrokepines.com makes it easy to compare party bus and charter bus options serving South Florida — one quick form or a call to 754-355-0710 gets you pricing for your trip in under a minute, no account needed.
Chase Stadium in 2026: What's on the Pitch and in the Stands
Chase Stadium is a 21,550-seat open-air venue that opened in 2020 on the grounds of the former Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. The JPMorgan Chase naming rights deal that gave it the "Chase Stadium" name ran through the 2025 MLS season; the venue is now officially back to Inter Miami CF Stadium on club publications, though nearly every ticket platform still uses the Chase name. Either way, it's the same 34-acre complex at 1350 NW 55th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309.
The biggest change for 2026: Inter Miami CF's MLS first team — the Messi era that filled this stadium to capacity — moved to Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park in Miami for its 2026 season opener on April 4. Chase Stadium is now the full-time home of Inter Miami CF II, the club's MLS Next Pro development side, which runs 14 home matches from late February through mid-September. The stadium also hosts international rugby — the USA vs. Argentina test match is set for August 15, 2026 at 7:30 PM — and remains available for concerts and other events.
The transportation logistics are the same regardless of what's on the pitch: all-pre-purchased parking, the same Fan Zone drop-off, and the same I-95 approach.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at Chase Stadium
Buses approaching Chase Stadium use NW 55th Street as the main road to the stadium's Fan Zone entrance. The Fan Zone is positioned near Gate 1 — it's the central hub for ticketing, team stores, and the main plaza, and it opens three hours before kickoff. A commercial vehicle pulling up on NW 55th Street at the Fan Zone entrance drops your group steps from Gate 1, not at an overflow lot south of Commercial Boulevard that still requires a shuttle connection.
Brightline's GOOOL GETTER complimentary shuttle — which runs from Fort Lauderdale's Brightline station directly to the stadium — uses the same Fan Zone near Gate 1 as its designated pickup and drop-off zone. That's the confirmed group arrival point at this venue. A charter bus or party bus from Pembroke Pines drops your group at the same spot and stages nearby while you're inside, ready for pickup at the end of the match instead of leaving the group to manage a post-game rideshare queue.
For the current commercial vehicle approach protocol for your specific event date, the official Inter Miami CF transportation page is the right place to confirm before you arrive.
Chase Stadium Parking: No Day-of Sales, No Exceptions
Chase Stadium has roughly 6,000 surface parking spaces across multiple lots — and every single one requires a pre-purchased digital pass tied to your license plate. The official Inter Miami CF parking page is clear: on-site parking purchases are not available on match day. If you arrive without a pass, there is no lot to talk your way into.
Here is how the lots are organized:
The Yellow Lot is the closest parking to the stadium. Pre-purchased passes only, with a north-side approach: take Cypress Creek Boulevard west, turn south onto NW 10th Terrace at the stoplight, then follow through to NW 55th Street. License plate enforcement is in effect — the digital pass is tied to your vehicle and verified on entry.
The Yellow Lot Overflow is the event-day fallback when primary lots fill; it's accessible from Commercial Boulevard and NW 21st Avenue, with an additional lot at 1110 W Commercial Boulevard. The Audi Blue Lot and Green Lot are both reserved and require pre-purchased passes, with south access via Commercial Boulevard and NW 15th Avenue (right turns only from westbound Commercial) and north access via Cypress Creek Boulevard. All of these lots use digital QR codes that must be visible to lot attendants on arrival — no printouts, no screenshots that don't open.
The free stadium shuttle runs from the Yellow Lot (south of Commercial Boulevard) directly to the Fan Zone. It is a real convenience for people who drove and parked there. But it adds a step: your group still needs to drive to that lot, park, and wait for the shuttle, then reverse the process post-match when the lot is full of everyone else trying to leave at the same time.
A 30-person group taking 8 cars needs 8 pre-purchased passes — each tied to a specific vehicle, each requiring advance purchase, each requiring the right lot. If passes in the preferred lot sell out before your purchase, you're in overflow. One bus from Pembroke Pines for that same group needs no pass at all: it drops everyone at the Fan Zone entrance and stages while your group is inside.
Parking prices at Chase Stadium run approximately $20–$40 per vehicle for standard matches, with premium positions and high-profile events sometimes higher. At 8 cars at $25 each, that's $200 in parking before gas or coordination — and someone in each car has to stay sober to drive back. Check the official parking page well before your event; passes in the closer lots fill earlier than most groups expect.
Getting to Chase Stadium: Every Option Side by Side
Fort Lauderdale isn't Miami, and Chase Stadium isn't downtown — the venue is accessible by multiple routes, but every option except a private bus involves a tradeoff that grows heavier as your group gets larger.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Door-to-door? | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split across the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — Fan Zone drop on NW 55th St | 15–56 |
| Brightline GOOOL GETTER + shuttle | ~$15–$18/person train fare + free shuttle | Only if everyone books the same train | Good — shuttle drops at Fan Zone near Gate 1 | Any, but no group coordination |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | Per car each way + post-match surge | No — multiple cars, scattered ETAs | Good drop; pickup at NW 12th & NW 52nd St | 1–4 per car |
| Drive and park (pre-purchased) | $20–$40/car + gas | No — cars scatter to different lots | OK — Yellow Lot shuttle to Fan Zone | 1–3 cars max before coordination breaks down |
For one or two people coming from Fort Lauderdale or Miami, the Brightline GOOOL GETTER is the cleanest call — $15–$18 from Brickell, a direct shuttle to Gate 1, and no parking math at all. Once your group is large enough to need multiple cars and multiple passes, the overhead tips the other way. That inflection point — where coordinating 5 or 6 separate vehicles across the same lot approach costs more in friction than a flat-rate Pembroke Pines sporting event bus rental — tends to arrive earlier than most groups expect.
Brightline GOOOL GETTER: Fort Lauderdale Station to the Fan Zone
Brightline operates a dedicated GOOOL GETTER service for Inter Miami CF matches — trains from any Brightline station in Miami, Aventura, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, or Orlando to Fort Lauderdale, with a complimentary shuttle completing the last 3 miles to the stadium. Shuttles depart Fort Lauderdale station 10 minutes after each GOOOL GETTER train arrives. After the match, shuttles depart Chase Stadium 15, 30, and 45 minutes after the final whistle.
The pickup and drop-off zone is outside the Fan Zone near Gate 1 — the same zone where a private bus drops off. Check the Brightline website or app for current GOOOL GETTER availability on specific CF II match dates; the service originally launched for the MLS first team and you'll want to confirm it runs for your date.
The train covers the Miami–Fort Lauderdale leg in about 33 minutes at fares typically running $15–$18 each way. That works well for individuals traveling from Brickell or Aventura — and it's genuinely the smart move for a solo fan or a couple. For a Pembroke Pines group of 20, there's no Brightline station nearby; I-95 North is the direct line, and a charter bus handles that run door-to-door without the transfer.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for Chase Stadium?
Group size is the starting point, but the trip shape matters too. A 20-person Friday night fan group heading up from Pembroke Pines has different needs than a 45-person corporate outing doing a half-day itinerary before the match. Partybuspembrokepines.com connects you to a large network of bus companies serving South Florida, so the vehicle matches the group rather than forcing everyone into something that doesn't fit. Here is how the vehicle lineup maps to a Chase Stadium run:
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Gear/storage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Modest rear cargo | Small friend groups, executive transfers from Fort Lauderdale hotels |
| 20–30 passenger party bus | ~20–30 | Light onboard storage | Fan groups who want the pre-match energy on the ride up |
| 40–50 passenger party bus | ~40–50 | Moderate | Larger fan groups, birthday outings, end-of-season celebrations |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Overhead + some underfloor | Mid-size corporate groups, school or youth team shuttles |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Excellent — deep undercarriage bays | Large groups, multi-pickup routes, out-of-town visitors from FLL or MIA |
Most Pembroke Pines fan groups heading to a Chase Stadium match land between 15 and 35 people — a 25-passenger party bus or a minibus covers that range cleanly, gives everyone room on the ride, and keeps the per-head cost in line. For groups hauling gear — a youth team with bags, a corporate outing with presentation materials — a charter bus with undercarriage bays handles the equipment while the onboard restroom keeps a 45-minute Friday evening run comfortable. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; note it in your quote request and the right vehicle can be arranged.
Party Bus and Charter Bus Rental Prices to Chase Stadium
Pricing for a Pembroke Pines to Chase Stadium charter bus or party bus rental depends on vehicle size, how many total hours you need, and the date. To give you an idea of planning ranges: a minibus typically runs $200–$250 per hour on weekdays and $200–$275 per hour on weekends; a 25-passenger party bus runs $250–$350 per hour on weekdays and $275–$375 per hour on weekends; a full 56-seat charter bus typically runs $200–$350 per hour for either day type. These are planning ranges — the real number for your trip moves with the specific date, your exact pickup location, and total hours.
They are not quotes.
Here is how that pencils out for a typical group: 28 fans book a 30-passenger party bus for a Friday night CF II match. Pickup from Pembroke Pines at 5:30 PM, at the Fan Zone on NW 55th Street by 6:20 PM — well inside the 3-hour pre-kickoff window. The bus stages while the group is inside and picks everyone up at 9:30 PM after the final whistle.
That is roughly a 4-hour rental. At $325/hr, the total runs about $1,300 — around $46 per person. Seven cars at $25 parking each is $175 in parking alone before accounting for gas, the pre-purchase coordination, and the reality that several people in those cars have to stay sober to drive.
On one bus, that last problem disappears for the entire group. For current pricing for your specific date and headcount, the Pembroke Pines party bus prices page has current ranges — or call 754-355-0710 for a free quote in under a minute.
Getting to Chase Stadium from Pembroke Pines and South Florida
Chase Stadium is about 15–17 miles from central Pembroke Pines via I-95 North — a 20-to-30-minute run off-peak that turns into a real friction point on Friday evenings. Northbound I-95 through the Broward County corridor carries heavy commuter volume from around 5:00 PM through 7:00 PM on weekdays. A group loading a bus at 5:30 PM in Pembroke Pines should reach the Fan Zone around 6:15–6:30 PM — plenty of time, since the Fan Zone opens three hours before kickoff.
The same group splitting into separate cars at 5:45 PM may be pulling into the Commercial Boulevard approach at 6:50 PM, still needing to clear lot entry, wait for the shuttle, and get to the gates before they open 90 minutes before kickoff.
| From… | Approx. distance | Off-peak drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Pembroke Pines (central) | ~15–17 miles | 20–30 minutes |
| Miramar | ~17–20 miles | 25–35 minutes |
| Weston | ~20–23 miles | 28–38 minutes |
| Hollywood / Hallandale Beach | ~9–11 miles | 15–20 minutes |
| Miami Beach / South Beach | ~30–33 miles | 40–55 minutes |
| Boca Raton | ~22–26 miles | 25–35 minutes |
| Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL) | ~5–6 miles | 10–15 minutes |
Groups flying into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) have the shortest airport-to-stadium transfer in South Florida for this venue: FLL sits about 5 miles from Chase Stadium, a quick run up I-595 West to I-95 North. A charter bus picking up at FLL and dropping at the Fan Zone is a 15-minute transfer with no lot navigation required — see the Fort Lauderdale FLL airport shuttle guide for the approach details at the terminal. Groups flying into Miami International (MIA) add roughly 25 miles and 35–50 minutes to the run, which a full charter bus handles in one coordinated pickup at baggage claim.
For the approach into Chase Stadium itself: the north entry to the Yellow Lot uses I-95 Exit 33 (Cypress Creek Road), west on Cypress Creek Boulevard, then south on NW 10th Terrace at the stoplight, then right on NW 55th Street. The south entry to the Audi Blue and Green lots uses I-95 Exit 32 (Commercial Boulevard), west on Commercial, then north on NW 15th Avenue — only right turns allowed from westbound Commercial. On busy match nights, the Commercial Boulevard approach on the south side can back up toward the I-95 ramp; the Cypress Creek north approach has typically moved more freely.
Because routing can shift event to event, check the official transportation page before you leave.
Chase Stadium Events in 2026: Key Dates for Group Trips
Inter Miami CF II's 2026 MLS Next Pro home season runs 14 matches, opening February 27 against Chicago Fire FC II and closing September 13 against Huntsville City FC, per the official 2026 schedule announcement. The standard kickoff is 7:00 PM ET on Friday evenings — the format that stacks the I-95 run directly on top of peak commuter traffic, which is the clearest argument for a pre-arranged bus over a caravan of cars. Home matchdays include April 10 (Atlanta United 2), May 8 (Chattanooga FC), June 6 (New York City FC II), June 20 (Carolina Core FC), July 25 (Toronto FC II), August 16 (Huntsville City FC), and August 28 (Atlanta United 2), among others.
The biggest standalone event at Chase Stadium in 2026 is the USA Rugby vs. Argentina international test on August 15 at 7:30 PM. International test matches draw audiences well beyond the typical club-soccer crowd — regional sports fans, corporate groups, and out-of-town visitors all converging on a Friday evening. Parking passes for high-profile events like this one tend to sell out further in advance than a domestic club night, and post-match rideshare demand spikes harder when the audience skews less familiar with the venue's layout.
A group bus from Pembroke Pines removes both problems: no pass to pre-purchase, no post-game surge to navigate. For the full 2026 calendar, Ticketmaster's Chase Stadium event listing has the complete and updated schedule.
For any event with a wider regional draw — an international rugby test, a rivalry match, or a higher-profile concert — book your group bus as early as your date is confirmed. South Florida vehicle availability on busy weekend dates goes fast, and there's no pricing advantage to waiting.
Know Before You Go: Chase Stadium Rules and Match Day Logistics
A few things from the stadium's official matchday information page that every group needs before they arrive:
Timing. The Fan Zone opens three hours before kickoff — for a 7:00 PM match, that's 4:00 PM. Parking lots open at the same time.
Stadium gates open 90 minutes before kickoff. One rule that regularly catches groups by surprise: guests are not permitted to enter the stadium after the 65th minute. If your group is running late, there is a hard cutoff — plan your arrival time accordingly.
Clear bag policy. Chase Stadium enforces a standard clear bag policy at entry. Each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12" × 6" × 12", plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5".
Backpacks, tinted bags, and oversized purses are not permitted.
Cashless venue. Every transaction inside Chase Stadium — concessions, team stores, parking — is cashless. Make sure your group has cards or mobile payment ready before walking in.
Team stores operate at Gate 1, Gate 2, Gate 3, and the Fan Zone. Guest services can be reached at 954-947-6923 if anyone in your group needs assistance on site.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to Chase Stadium
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Chase Stadium?
Commercial vehicles approach Chase Stadium via NW 55th Street, the main road leading to the Fan Zone entrance near Gate 1. The Fan Zone entrance is the stadium's primary group arrival and departure point — Brightline's GOOOL GETTER shuttle also uses this zone, confirming it as the designated group drop-off area. For event-specific commercial vehicle routing and staging, review the official Inter Miami CF transportation page or contact stadium guest services at 954-947-6923 before match day.
Can you buy parking at Chase Stadium on the day of the event?
No — all lots at Chase Stadium require pre-purchased digital passes tied to your license plate, and on-site sales are not available on event day. If passes in the primary lots sell out before your purchase, you're directed to Yellow Lot Overflow south of Commercial Boulevard. There is no day-of fallback at the gates.
Check the official parking page and purchase passes early; for high-profile events, the closer lots fill weeks in advance.
Where is the rideshare pickup zone at Chase Stadium?
The designated Uber and Lyft pickup and drop-off area is at the corner of NW 12th Avenue and NW 52nd Street, directly across from Gate 1. Post-match surge pricing is common — waiting 10 minutes on NW 12th Avenue before requesting a ride tends to bring prices back down. For a group, that still means splitting into multiple cars with multiple ETAs and coordinating a meeting point in a crowd.
A bus stages nearby and picks up your whole group at one spot when the game ends.
Does the Brightline GOOOL GETTER shuttle run for Inter Miami CF II matches in 2026?
The GOOOL GETTER service was established for Inter Miami CF matches at Chase Stadium and operated with a free shuttle from Fort Lauderdale station to the Fan Zone near Gate 1. With the MLS first team now at Nu Stadium in Miami, it is worth verifying directly on Brightline's site or app whether the service continues for specific CF II match dates before booking your train tickets.
How much does it cost to park at Chase Stadium?
Standard lot pricing runs approximately $20–$40 per vehicle for most matches, with premium positions and special events sometimes higher. All passes must be purchased in advance through the Inter Miami CF app or website. For a group of 28 fans taking 8 cars, that's $160–$320 in parking before accounting for gas.
Compared against a single bus quote split across the same 28 people, the per-head numbers often land close — with the coordination overhead, the pre-purchase requirement, and the post-match shuttle wait all gone.
What exits off I-95 do I need for Chase Stadium?
Two exits serve the venue. For the north entry to the Yellow Lot: I-95 Exit 33 (Cypress Creek Road), west on Cypress Creek Boulevard, south on NW 10th Terrace, then follow to NW 55th Street. For the south entry to the Audi Blue and Green lots: I-95 Exit 32 (Commercial Boulevard), west on Commercial, then north on NW 15th Avenue — right turns only from westbound Commercial.
On busy Friday nights, the south Commercial approach can back up toward the ramp; the Cypress Creek north entry has typically moved more cleanly. Routing can shift by event, so check the official transportation page before you go.
How far in advance should I book a bus to Chase Stadium?
For Inter Miami CF II regular-season matches, two to four weeks of lead time is generally workable for most group sizes. For the USA vs. Argentina rugby test on August 15 or any event with broader regional draw, book as early as your date is confirmed — South Florida bus availability on big-draw event weekends goes quickly, and the right vehicle for your group size is the first thing to fill. Call 754-355-0710 any time — a free quote takes under a minute.
What is Chase Stadium's bag policy?
The stadium enforces a standard clear bag policy: one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12" × 6" × 12" per person, plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5". Backpacks, fanny packs, and tinted bags are not permitted. All stadium transactions are cashless — card or mobile payment only.
Check the official matchday page before your visit to confirm any updates.
