Cheer on the East Orange Jaguars at Paul Robeson Stadium

In East Orange, community pride runs deep, especially when it comes to high school athletics. The East Orange Campus High School Jaguars are a local powerhouse, and game days at Paul Robeson Stadium (215 N Clinton St, East Orange, NJ 07017) are electric. If you are a booster club, a band, or a group of alumni looking to support the home team, a private shuttle is the best way to keep the group together.

The Prudential Center (25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102), affectionately known as "The Rock," is home to the NHL's New Jersey Devils and the Seton Hall University Pirates men's basketball team. While the venue is close, anyone who has driven down I-280 or Route 21 on a game night knows that traffic can be a nightmare.

What types of buses are available for sports teams in East Orange?

We offer a wide range of vehicles to suit teams of all sizes. For smaller squads or coaching staff, our 18-passenger to 25-passenger minibuses are perfect for quick trips to nearby venues. For full football rosters or teams traveling with extensive equipment, our 56-passenger full-size charter buses are the ideal choice.

We recommend booking your charter bus as soon as the schedule is released! For major events like NFL games, playoff series, or concerts at major arenas, demand for buses in the East Orange and NYC metro area is extremely high. Ideally, you should try to reserve your vehicle at least 3 to 6 months in advance. However, we understand that playoffs and tournaments can be unpredictable. Our team is available 24/7 to help with last-minute bookings, though vehicle availability may be more limited closer to the date.
