A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheer on the Bucs and Bulls at Raymond James Stadium
For football fans in Brandon, the pilgrimage to Raymond James Stadium (4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607) is a sacred ritual. Whether you are heading out to support the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the USF Bulls college football team, "Ray Jay" offers an electric atmosphere complete with its iconic pirate ship. However, getting there from Brandon can often involve navigating heavy traffic on FL-60 or the Crosstown, followed by the challenge of finding expensive parking in packed lots. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Brandon, you eliminate the convoy confusion. We can load up your grill, coolers, tents, and folding chairs into the spacious undercarriage storage bays of a 56-passenger motorcoach, ensuring you have everything you need for a legendary tailgate without cramping your legroom.
The drivers are familiar with navigating the stadium loops, dropping your group off as close to the action as possible. Imagine stepping off your air-conditioned bus, fully rested and ready to cheer, rather than stressed from bumper-to-bumper traffic. After the game, while other fans are stuck in the parking lot gridlock, your group can relax in reclining seats, watching post-game highlights on the onboard TV monitors as your driver comfortably navigates the route back to Brandon. Whether it is a preseason warmup or a playoff showdown, we provide the ultimate game day advantage.
Experience the Chill at TGH Ice Plex
You don’t have to leave Brandon to experience top-tier ice sports. The TGH Ice Plex (10222 Elizabeth Pl, Tampa, FL 33619), located just on the edge of Brandon, is a massive draw for hockey enthusiasts and figure skaters alike. As the official practice facility for the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, it is a hub of activity where you might catch a glimpse of the pros training. For local youth hockey teams and traveling leagues, this venue is a frequent destination for tournaments. Transporting a hockey team requires significant space—goalie pads, stick bags, and duffel bags take up a lot of room. A standard minibus or van often isn't enough.
That is why Charter Bus Brandon offers full-sized charter buses with ample luggage capacity. We help teams travel together, building chemistry on the ride over while ensuring all equipment arrives safe and secure. Parents and coaches love our services because it removes the liability of carpooling and ensures the entire roster arrives at the rink simultaneously for warm-ups. Whether you are hosting a tournament or attending a skating competition, we provide reliable shuttles from local Brandon hotels directly to the Ice Plex, keeping your schedule tight and your players focused.
Catch the Lightning and Concerts at Amalie Arena
Just a short drive via the Selmon Expressway lies Amalie Arena (401 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602), home to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Hockey games here are high-energy events, and the arena is located in the bustling Water Street district. Parking can be scarce and pricey, especially during big games or sold-out concerts. By renting a private shuttle bus from Brandon, your group can bypass the stress of downtown parking garages. We can arrange a pick-up spot at a central location in Brandon—like the Westfield Brandon Mall or a local park-and-ride—and shuttle your entire group downtown in style.
Our buses are perfect for corporate outings entertaining clients in a suite, or large groups of friends headed to a concert. With amenities like onboard WiFi and power outlets, you can upload your pre-game selfies and keep your phone charged for photos during the event. If your group wants to grab dinner at Sparkman Wharf before the puck drops, your driver can accommodate that itinerary, ensuring you get the full experience of a night out in Tampa Bay without the worry of designating a driver for the ride home to Brandon.
Spring Training and Baseball at George M. Steinbrenner Field
For baseball purists, the area surrounding Brandon is a paradise, especially during Spring Training. George M. Steinbrenner Field (1 Steinbrenner Dr, Tampa, FL 33614) is the spring home of the New York Yankees and the regular-season home of the Tampa Tarpons. Located roughly 20 minutes from Brandon, it’s a favorite destination for groups organizing company picnics, senior citizen outings, or school trips. The stadium offers a classic baseball experience with the polish of a major league venue.
Charter Bus Brandon makes organizing these outings effortless. We can coordinate transportation for large groups, handling the logistics of drop-off and pick-up so your group stays together. If you are planning a "baseball tour" to see multiple Spring Training games—perhaps adding a trip to see the Phillies in Clearwater or the Blue Jays in Dunedin—our charter buses are available for multi-day rentals. You can build a custom itinerary that hits all the bases, with your driver handling the navigation across Tampa Bay’s bridges and highways while you enjoy peanuts and Cracker Jack in climate-controlled comfort.
Golf Outings and Recreation in Brandon
Brandon isn’t just for spectators; it is a haven for active sports fans, too. For those who prefer to swing a club, Topgolf Tampa (10690 Palm River Rd, Tampa, FL 33619) is located right here in the Brandon area. It is a premier destination for bachelor parties, corporate team-building events, and birthday celebrations. Coordinating arrival times for a large group at Topgolf can be tricky when everyone drives separately, but a minibus rental ensures your bay reservation starts on time with everyone present.
If traditional golf is more your speed, Brandon is close to excellent courses like the Buckhorn Springs Golf & Country Club (2721 S Miller Rd, Valrico, FL 33596) or Bloomingdale Golfers Club (4113 Great Golfers Pl, Valrico, FL 33596). Our charter buses offer plenty of storage for golf clubs, meaning you don't have to jam them into the trunk of a rideshare. We can shuttle your foursomes or tournament participants from the course to a post-round dinner at one of Brandon’s many steakhouses or sports bars, providing a seamless, sophisticated experience for your golf outing.
The Ultimate Sports Bar Crawl in Brandon
Sometimes, the best seat in the house is on a barstool with great wings and high-definition screens. Brandon boasts a vibrant sports bar scene perfect for watch parties when the team is away. Places like O'Brien's Irish Pub (701 W Lumsden Rd, Brandon, FL 33511) or Linksters Tap Room are local favorites for catching the big game. If you are organizing a fan club meetup or a fantasy football draft party, a party bus rental allows you to hop between the best sports bars in town comfortably.
With a dedicated driver behind the wheel, your group can enjoy the game and the drinks without worrying about sobriety checkpoints or rideshare surge pricing. Our party buses come equipped with Bluetooth sound systems and LED lighting, keeping the energy high between stops. Whether you are celebrating a big win or just enjoying a Sunday of NFL football, Charter Bus Brandon ensures your group gets home comfortably at the end of the night.
Youth Sports Tournament Travel
Brandon and the surrounding Hillsborough County area are hotspots for youth sports tournaments, from soccer and baseball to cheerleading and volleyball. Venues like the JC Handly Sports Complex (3104 S Kings Ave, Brandon, FL 33511) host events year-round. For travel teams coming into Brandon or local teams heading out to tournaments in Orlando or Lakewood Ranch, a charter bus rental is the most efficient travel solution. It keeps the team focused and unified, rather than scattered across a convoy of parents' minivans.
We understand the unique needs of student-athletes. Our buses offer comfortable seating for rest between games, PA systems for coaches to give pre-game pep talks, and onboard restrooms to minimize unscheduled stops on longer trips. Charter Bus Brandon works with schools and athletic directors to ensure all protocols are met, providing peace of mind for parents and organizers. We can handle single-day transfers or multi-day tournament logistics, including shuttles between the hotel, the field, and local restaurants for team meals.
