Types of Buses We Offer for Sports Team Transportation in Reston
Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium
Located just a drive around the northern loop of the Beltway, Northwest Stadium (formerly FedExField) is the massive proving ground for NFL fans in the Reston area. While the stadium is technically in Landover, Maryland, it is the primary destination for Reston-based fan clubs. The stadium holds over 60,000 screaming fans and features several premium areas like the Fan Pavilion and the ever-popular Legends Club. For those traveling from Reston, the 30-mile trek via VA-267 East to I-495 North is notorious for bottlenecks at the American Legion Bridge, making a private motorcoach a necessity for keeping your tailgate crew on schedule.
Planning a get-together with your favorite sports fans? Make it one they won’t soon forget and host it at the stadium! The venue offers multiple rentable spaces for private events of all kinds—including high-stakes corporate meetings and large-scale alumni gatherings. These spaces can accommodate varying group sizes and are available for booking throughout the year. Venue rental packages can often be customized to include guest appearances by team alumni or exclusive access to the club level for a behind-the-scenes atmosphere.
Address: 1600 Fedex Way, Landover, MD 20785
Charter Bus Parking: Our charter buses utilize the designated Bus Lot (Lot 1) located off Brightseat Road. Unlike passenger cars that get stuck in the weaving lines of the Red or Orange lots, the drivers utilize the commercial vehicle entrance at Gate A. We recommend your group stages their departure from Reston at least four hours before kickoff to account for the heavy volume on the Inner Loop of the Beltway. Note: The stadium strictly enforces a "no oversized vehicle" policy in the standard permit lots, so ensuring your driver has the correct Bus Parking Pass for Lot 1 is crucial for a seamless arrival.
Washington Capitals and Wizards at Capital One Arena
When the winter season hits, the action moves indoors to the heart of the District. Capital One Arena is where Reston fans go to catch high-velocity "Rock the Red" hockey or NBA action. Because the arena sits directly atop the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro station, the surrounding streets of 6th and 7th are incredibly tight. For a 56-passenger coach, the approach requires precision. We avoid the restricted heights of the I-395 3rd Street Tunnel and instead approach via Constitution Avenue to ensure our tall motorcoaches have clear clearance.
Have some time to kill before a game or concert? The surrounding Penn Quarter neighborhood is packed with sports bars and the National Portrait Gallery, but the arena itself features the "Capitals/Wizards Team Store" which is essentially a museum of current sports culture. If your group of spectators doesn’t want to spend a lot of time standing in line for food inside the concourse, we can coordinate a drop-off at one of the larger dining halls on H Street before the doors open.
Address: 601 F St NW, Washington, DC 20004
Charter Bus Parking: There is zero onsite parking for oversized vehicles at Capital One Arena. Our strategy involves utilizing the designated commercial drop-off zone on G Street NW, between 6th and 7th Streets. Once the group unloads, the drivers stage the buses at the Union Station Bus Terminal (50 Massachusetts Ave NE) or the RFK Stadium parking lots. We return to the G Street curb exactly when the final buzzer sounds, allowing your group to bypass the chaos of fans flooding the Metro entrance.
Washington Nationals at Nationals Park
Summer in Reston means baseball, and the trip to the Navy Yard district is a fan favorite. Nationals Park is a modern gem along the Anacostia River, known for the "Presidents Race" and the sprawling Center Field Plaza. For groups coming from Reston, we take the Dulles Access Road to the George Washington Memorial Parkway, providing a scenic route that avoids the stop-and-go of I-66 before crossing the 14th Street Bridge.
Before or after the game, consider spending some time exploring The Yards, the waterfront development adjacent to the stadium. There, fans can peruse the breweries and outdoor eateries before walking over to the Center Field Gate. For youth teams, the "Family Picnic Area" near the playground is an ideal spot to gather before the first pitch.
Address: 1500 S Capitol St SE, Washington, DC 20003
Charter Bus Parking: Nationals Park offers specific bus parking in Lot W (located on M Street SE and South Capitol Street). However, these spots are limited and often sell out weeks in advance for weekend series against rivals like the Phillies. If Lot W is full, the drivers utilize the bus staging area at 4th and Water Streets SW. We coordinate precise pick-up times via text with your group leader to ensure you aren't standing in the humidity on South Capitol Street longer than necessary.
Collegiate Action at George Mason University (EagleBank Arena)
For Reston residents, the highest level of basketball isn't always in D.C.; sometimes it's right down the road in Fairfax at George Mason University. EagleBank Arena hosts the Patriots and is a staple for regional tournaments and graduation ceremonies. The short trip from Reston via Reston Parkway to West Ox Road avoids the major highways entirely, making it an easy "express" trip for local school groups.
Address: 4500 Patriot Cir, Fairfax, VA 22030
Charter Bus Parking: Bus loading is permitted at the North Entrance of the arena. Unlike the professional stadiums in the city, EagleBank Arena has more generous surface lots. Buses are directed to park in Lot A or the Lot L overflow area. The drivers stay with the vehicle, ensuring that if a game goes into double overtime, your climate-controlled ride is ready the moment the team exits the locker room.

Frequently Asked Questions About Reston Sports Team Transportation
Where does the bus drop us off for a Washington Capitals game at Capital One Arena?
Because of the tight urban grid in Chinatown, our charter buses utilize the designated commercial drop-off zone on G Street NW, located between 6th and 7th Streets. This puts your group within half a block of the main entrance. We stage our pick-up at this same location, timing our arrival with the end of the game to ensure your group doesn't have to wait on the sidewalk amidst the post-game crowds.
Can we bring tailgating equipment like grills and coolers on the bus?
Absolutely. Our 56-passenger motorcoaches feature massive undercarriage storage bays that are perfect for charcoal grills, large coolers, folding tables, and tents. We ask that all grills be completely cooled and charcoal disposed of safely before reloading. Storing these items under the bus keeps the cabin clear and safe for your passengers during the drive back to Reston.
What happens if the game goes into overtime and we stay past our scheduled time?
We understand that in sports, you can't always predict the clock. While we ask for a rough itinerary, the drivers are flexible. If a game goes late, simply communicate with your driver or our 24/7 dispatch team. Overtime is billed at a simple hourly rate, ensuring that your group is never rushed out of the stadium before the final play is made.
How do you avoid the heavy traffic on the I-495 Beltway when leaving Reston?
The drivers are locals who monitor live traffic feeds. For games at Nationals Park or Capital One Arena, we often bypass the I-495/I-66 mess by taking the Dulles Access Road directly to the George Washington Memorial Parkway. This route is restricted to airport users and authorized commercial vehicles, often providing a much faster "straight shot" into the District than the general-purpose lanes.
