Most minor league ballparks sit somewhere convenient — off a highway, surrounded by surface lots, easy to pull into and park. Truist Stadium is downtown. Planted at 951 Ballpark Way on the edge of the city core, bounded by Peters Creek Parkway to the west and a tight one-way grid of downtown streets to the north and east, it is as urban as minor league baseball gets in North Carolina.
That setting is exactly what makes a night here worth going to — walkable to Fourth Street restaurants and just a few minutes from the Innovation Quarter — and exactly what makes getting 25 people there in separate cars a genuine headache on a Friday night. A Winston-Salem party bus or charter bus rental solves the headache before it starts: one vehicle handles pickup, the route through the downtown one-way grid, and drop-off near the gates, while your group's night starts on the ride over.
The Winston-Salem Dash — a Chicago White Sox affiliate in the Carolina League — has called Truist Stadium home since the park opened in 2010. Truist Stadium seats 5,500, has 16 luxury suites on the Club Level, pours a rotating beer lineup on the outfield concourse, and has the ten-foot bronze Home Run statue out front. The Founders Club — a 3,500-square-foot bar and lounge — is air-conditioned on the club level when the Carolina summer makes the Berm feel a little too warm.
For groups, the question is not whether the ballpark is worth visiting. It is how to arrive together, park once, and leave without anyone still looking for their car at 10:30 PM on Third Street. This guide answers that.
Why Rent a Party Bus or Charter Bus to Truist Stadium?
The on-site premium lots at Truist Stadium are $10 per vehicle — reasonable enough on paper. But on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday game, those lots fill quickly. The stadium's own guidance recommends arriving at least 30 minutes before first pitch to secure on-site parking.
For a group of 22 people driving separately, that is four to six cars arriving at slightly different times, parking in different spots across the N Broad Street or S Broad Street surface lots, and then spending 10 minutes at the gate trying to gather everyone who is coming from three different directions. Then doing it all in reverse after the final out, in the dark, when half the group is ready to leave and the other half wants one more inning.
The free off-site lots — Lots A through F for the 2026 season — are a genuine option for individuals. A golf cart shuttle connects them to the ballpark, but shuttle timing is not always predictable for a large group trying to arrive at first pitch together. One Winston-Salem charter bus or party bus rental clears all of it: one pickup location, one route through the downtown grid, one drop at the gates, and a bus staged nearby for the post-game pickup.
The per-person math often makes the bus cost competitive with six separate $10 parking passes and the rideshare surge pricing that hits downtown Winston-Salem after big game nights. Check Winston-Salem bus rental pricing for a sense of what different vehicle sizes run for your date.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at Truist Stadium
Truist Stadium has two primary vehicle access points, each tied to a different section of the parking map. The Permit Entrance is via S Green Street — the approach from the Cherry Street exit off Salem Parkway (Exit 233B), bearing right onto Cherry Street, then left onto First Street, left onto Green Street, and right into the stadium. The Paid Entrance is via Broad Street — the approach from Peters Creek Parkway (Salem Parkway Exit 234A), turning right off the parkway, right onto Broad Street, and right into the stadium grounds.
The official parking map identifies the Flow Lot and VIP Lot on the stadium's west side along Peters Creek Parkway, with the stadium's Media Lot just east of the main structure, and scattered paid surface lots along N Broad Street, S Broad Street, and the Brookstown Avenue corridor.
For a charter bus or a larger party bus working through downtown Winston-Salem, the Peters Creek Parkway / Broad Street approach (Exit 234A, from the west on I-40/US-421) is the wider, more navigable route. It bypasses the tighter one-way streets of the inner downtown grid — Marshall Street runs one-way, Second Street runs one-way, and First Street requires a precise pair of left turns to reach Green Street correctly — all of which can be awkward in a long vehicle. The Broad Street paid entrance keeps your bus on the wider arterials until the final turn into the stadium.
Confirm large-vehicle staging and any event-specific instructions for your game date with the stadium directly at (336) 714-2287 — the logistics are exact enough that calling ahead is worth the two minutes. For current parking details, the Truist Stadium listing on Visit Winston-Salem has the venue contact and basic approach information.
The Business 40 / US-421 Approach and Winston-Salem's Downtown Grid
Salem Parkway — carrying Business 40, US-421, and US-158 through downtown Winston-Salem — is the highway spine that feeds Truist Stadium from every direction. Which exit you take depends entirely on where you are coming from, and the two exits serve two different sides of the stadium.
From the west (I-40 east toward Winston-Salem): Merge onto I-40E, then US-421E. Take the Peters Creek Parkway exit (Exit 234A). Turn right at the light, right onto Broad Street, right into the stadium.
This is the direct approach for buses coming from Lexington, Statesville, Hickory, or groups picking up along the I-40 corridor to the southwest. Peters Creek Parkway runs right along the stadium's western boundary, which means you arrive alongside the VIP and Flow Lots without threading through downtown at all.
From the east (Greensboro, the Triad, or US-421 westbound): Merge onto US-421W. Take the Cherry Street exit (Exit 233B). Turn right onto Cherry Street, left onto First Street, left onto Green Street, and right into the stadium Permit Entrance.
This is the standard GPS routing for groups coming from Greensboro — about 24 miles east on I-40, roughly 25 minutes without game traffic. Groups flying into Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) and heading straight to a game land on this same approach; see the PTI airport shuttle guide for the pickup logistics at the terminal.
From the north (US-52 south): Merge onto US-52S, take US-421W at Exit 110B, then Cherry Street Exit 233B — same final approach as from the east. From the south (US-52 north): US-52N to US-421W at Exit 109B, then Cherry Street Exit 233B again. Both the northern and southern approaches feed into the same Cherry St → First St → Green St sequence, so groups coming from Mount Airy, Pilot Mountain, or rural Forsyth County to the south follow the same turns as the Greensboro crowd.
One thing worth knowing for first-timers: Marshall Street and Second Street are both one-way in the downtown core. If a GPS misroutes a bus onto either street going the wrong direction, the correction adds several blocks. The Peters Creek Parkway western approach eliminates that risk entirely — it is the no-surprises route for a commercial bus on a busy game night.
Truist Stadium Parking: The 2026 Breakdown
For the 2026 season, Truist Stadium has a clear parking structure that is worth knowing before you plan a group trip. Off-site lots (Lots A–F) are free for all home games. These are scattered in the blocks surrounding the stadium — primarily in the Brookstown Avenue corridor and the surface lots west of the stadium — with a golf cart shuttle connecting them to the ballpark.
Free is free, and for a solo fan with time to spare, they work well. For a coordinated group trying to hit the gates together at 6:40 PM, the shuttle adds a variable you cannot fully control.
On-site parking breaks into two tiers. Premium on-site parking runs $10 per vehicle, accessed through the Broad Street Paid Entrance. Valet parking runs $25 per vehicle.
The facility is fully cashless — bring a debit or credit card, or use mobile pay. No cash is accepted for parking or concessions. Nine ADA-reserved handicap spots are located in the main lot near the scoreboard, with additional accessible spaces at the Flow Club VIP Lobby entrance off Peters Creek Parkway.
The practical implication: on-site lots are limited and fill first on weekend games. The stadium advises arriving 30 minutes before first pitch for the best on-site availability. For a 20-person group in separate cars, that means four or five vehicles needing spots, some of which will land in the free off-site lots and some on-site — and reassembling at the gates still takes coordination.
A single 15–35 passenger minibus rental replaces that entire equation. The official parking page is accessible from the Truist Stadium page on MiLB.com and is worth a review before your game date, as lot availability and shuttle timing can shift by event.
Group Outings and Suite Packages at Truist Stadium
Truist Stadium is genuinely set up for corporate outings and group events — 16 luxury suites on the Club Level, party deck options for larger gatherings, and group ticket pricing for parties of 20 or more. For the 2026 season, the two featured private suite options — the Spirits Suite and the Warthogs Suite, both newly upgraded — start at $1,000 for a party of 20, and each suite rental includes two parking passes. The Party Deck option runs $2,250 and includes eight parking passes.
Both the parking passes bundled with suites and the parking passes bundled with party decks only go so far for a group of 30 or 40 — a charter bus handles the transportation leg and keeps you from parceling out the extra spots across the group.
For groups that do not need a private space, the Founders Club seats are approximately $20 and include access to the 3,500-square-foot air-conditioned lounge with bar service — a practical upgrade for a corporate outing when late June or July heat is a consideration. The Berm, the grassy hillside beyond left field, runs $8 and works perfectly for a casual group that wants to spread out with a blanket. Club seats and the Berm are at opposite ends of the experience, and a charter bus works for both crowds.
For company outings where the transportation is as important as the game itself, a Winston-Salem corporate event charter bus handles pickup from the office or hotel, the downtown navigation, the drop at the gates, and post-game return — while the stadium's group sales team handles the seats and suite setup. Contact the Dash group sales team for current suite and party deck availability for your date.
Pair Truist Stadium with a Fourth Street or Innovation Quarter Stop
One of the legitimate advantages of a downtown ballpark is that the night does not have to end at the final out. Fourth Street — one block north of the stadium's general vicinity, recognized by the N.C. Chapter of the American Planning Association as a "Great Main Street" — runs the core of Winston-Salem's restaurant corridor. Fourth Street Filling Station, Mozelle's Fresh Southern Bistro, Camino Bakery at 310 West Fourth Street, and Di Lisio's are all in the area and draw pre- and post-game foot traffic on home-game nights.
The walk from Truist Stadium to Fourth Street is short enough that even groups without a bus can manage it — but a party bus that stages nearby during the game and then runs the group to dinner makes it part of the plan rather than a scramble in the parking lot.
For groups that want something with more of a bar scene, the Innovation Quarter — a 330-acre adaptive-reuse district built from the old R.J. Reynolds tobacco works, about five minutes east of the stadium — has some of Winston-Salem's best evening spots. Incendiary Brewing Co. has IPAs and stouts plus the outdoor Coalpit space. Dram & Draught carries 300-plus whiskeys alongside craft beer.
Cugino Forno does wood-fired Neapolitan pizza. Alma Mexicana handles tacos and margaritas with patio seating. Bailey Park — the 1.6-acre green space at the center of the district — hosts outdoor events year-round and is the social anchor of the Innovation Quarter on summer evenings.
A Winston-Salem party bus rental that drops your group at Truist Stadium, stages while you catch the game, and then carries everyone to the Innovation Quarter for the back half of the night is one of the cleaner itineraries this city offers. Two destinations, one vehicle, no parking at either stop.
Truist Stadium Party Bus and Charter Bus Options by Group Size
The right vehicle for a Truist Stadium outing comes down to two things: your headcount and where you are coming from. Downtown Winston-Salem's one-way grid and compact stadium footprint mean a smaller, more maneuverable vehicle is often the better fit than the largest available coach — but for groups coming from Greensboro or Charlotte, a full-size charter bus is the practical call for the highway leg even if a minibus takes over for local pickup runs.
A 15–35 passenger minibus is the sharpest fit for most Truist Stadium group outings. It handles the Peters Creek Parkway approach and the tighter downtown blocks without the turning radius of a 45-foot coach, parks more efficiently near the stadium, and keeps a group of 20 to 30 people together comfortably. For a suite party of 20, a corporate outing, or a birthday group headed downtown, the minibus is almost always the right scale.
To give you an idea, weekday hourly rates for a minibus run approximately $200–$250, with weekend rates at $200–$275.
For groups over 35 — a large company outing, a fan group coming in from High Point or Greensboro, or a multi-game group outing covering multiple nights — a 40–56 passenger charter bus makes sense. The undercarriage bays handle gear and luggage, and the approach via Peters Creek Parkway keeps the full-size coach on wider roads until the Broad Street turn into the stadium. Charter bus hourly rates run approximately $200–$350 on both weekdays and weekends, with per-day packages available through the online quote tool.
For the suite crowd booking the Spirits or Warthogs suite for a party of 20 — or an executive group using the Founders Club seats — a Sprinter van or 14-passenger Sprinter limo matches the scale and handles the downtown grid cleanly. Sprinter van hourly rates run $200–$275 weekday and $225–$375 on weekends; the Sprinter limo runs $200–$325 weekday and $225–$350 on weekends. Browse the full vehicle lineup or call 336-663-0635 — pricing takes about 30 seconds online or one call, with no account required.
| Vehicle | Seats | Best fit for Truist Stadium | Weekday hourly (est.) | Weekend hourly (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | Up to ~12–14 | Small suite group, corporate transfers downtown | $200–$275 | $225–$375 |
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo | Up to 14 | VIP suite party, executive group outing | $200–$325 | $225–$350 |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Most group outings — best fit for the downtown grid | $200–$250 | $200–$275 |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large groups, longer runs from Greensboro or Charlotte | $200–$350 | $200–$350 |
These are planning ranges to give you an idea — the actual quote moves with the date, mileage, hours needed, and specific vehicle. A pricing estimate for your trip takes about 30 seconds through the online form or one call to 336-663-0635.

Groups flying in can book a single charter bus from the GSO terminal directly to the stadium — or to a hotel first and then to the game. The PTI airport shuttle guide covers terminal pickup logistics at GSO for arriving groups.
Can the bus wait during the game and pick us up after?
Yes. A bus is booked as a block of hours, so it can drop your group at the gates, stage nearby, and be ready for a post-game pickup at an agreed time and spot. Set that pickup window before the game so no one is standing in the parking lot waiting — you walk out and the bus is there.
If the plan includes a Fourth Street or Innovation Quarter stop after the final out, build that into the itinerary when you request your quote.
