Subaru Park Group Transportation

Matchday Travel to Subaru Park

Subaru Park is the Philadelphia Union's riverfront stadium at 1 Stadium Drive in Chester, PA. It sits on the Delaware River in the shadow of the Commodore Barry Bridge. It's about 15 miles southwest of Center City, close enough for a quick group trip but far enough that a charter beats a line of cars, especially for clubs coming from Chester County, Delaware, or South Jersey.

Union supporters' groups are some of the most organized fans in the region. Youth soccer clubs book matchdays as team-bonding trips. Companies across Delaware County use the stadium for summer outings. All of them need the same thing: everyone in one vehicle, on time, with room for flags, drums, and coolers.

Who We Move to Subaru Park

• Youth soccer clubs — players, parents, and coaches in a single coach with one head count.
• Supporters' groups and friend crews — party buses and coaches for regular-season and playoff matches.
• Corporate outings — Delaware County and Chester County employers with group-ticket blocks.
• Special events — other matches and events the stadium hosts.

Vehicle Options

• Motorcoaches (up to 56) — the default for youth clubs and supporters' groups with gear.
• School buses — a simple, budget-friendly option for youth teams.
• Party buses (about 20–30) — birthday and celebration groups.
• Sprinter vans — small groups and coaching staffs.

Lots, Tailgating, and Timing

Per the stadium, parking lots open five hours before kickoff, and all parking is cashless. Oversized vehicles such as campers and trailers are directed to Lot C, and accessible parking is in Lot F. Tailgating is allowed, but it has to stay within two feet behind the vehicle. Glass containers and charcoal grills are not allowed. The grass Subaru Plaza area near the stadium is set aside for groups to gather before the match.

Matchday rules can change, especially for playoff and special events. We confirm bus parking and drop-off details for your date when we quote.

Why Charter Instead of Driving

Chester is a destination most fans reach by car, which means individual parking charges, a slow single-file exit after the final whistle, and someone in every car who can't enjoy the tailgate. With a charter, the club pays one transportation cost and parents don't have to coordinate a carpool. Players ride together, so the trip feels like a team event. It also keeps the youngest players under adult supervision from the club parking lot to the stadium gate and back.

Pickup Ideas

• Delaware County — Media, Springfield, Havertown, and Upper Darby, all a short ride on I-476 or I-95.
• Chester County — West Chester, Exton, and Downingtown club fields.
• Delaware — Wilmington and Newark, just down I-95.
• South Jersey — Gloucester County and Salem County across the Commodore Barry Bridge.
• Philadelphia — Center City and South Philly, south on I-95.

Planning Tips

• Weekend evening kickoffs can overlap with Shore and I-95 traffic in summer. Build in a buffer.
• For youth clubs, collect a roster and an emergency contact list before departure.
• Agree on a meeting point near Lot C or the plaza for the ride home.
