Tempe, AZ
The desert cools, the lights come up over Tempe, and Sun Devil football is back. On Saturday, September 5, 2026, Arizona State opens its home slate against Morgan State at Mountain America Stadium — a 7 p.m. kickoff that doubles as the unofficial start of fall in the Valley.
A home opener is more than a game. It is a full day of tailgates, Mill Avenue energy, and a stadium roaring under the lights. The only thing that can dull it is fighting for parking on game day.
That is where a private party bus changes everything. Jacob Transportation runs luxury party buses and limos across the Phoenix and Tempe metro, so your entire crew arrives together, arrives hyped, and never touches a parking lot.
Why a Party Bus Owns Sun Devil Game Day
Mountain America Stadium sits in the heart of Tempe, walled in by campus, Tempe Town Lake, and Mill Avenue. On a Saturday night, that means gridlock and premium lots that fill fast.
Roll up in a party bus and the math flips. Your group is dropped at the curb near the gates while everyone else circles for a spot half a mile out.
Inside, the ride is the pregame. Think leather lounge seating, booming sound, LED lighting in maroon and gold, and coolers stocked for a proper toast before the first snap.
Perfect for Every Kind of Crew
- Alumni reunions — get the old crew back together without anyone playing designated driver.
- Student sections — pack 20 to 30 friends into one rolling party.
- Corporate suites — impress clients with door-to-door executive service.
- Family game day — grandparents to grads, everyone rides in comfort.
Build the Ultimate Tempe Tailgate Day
Start early. Have our chauffeur swing through Scottsdale or Chandler to gather the group, then cruise into Tempe with the party already running.
Post up at a lot near the stadium for a proper tailgate — grills, cornhole, and a cold drink in hand. When kickoff nears, walk to the gates instead of hiking in from the far lots.
After the final whistle, the night is young. Mill Avenue is steps away, packed with rooftop bars and patios ready for a Sun Devil victory celebration.
Your bus waits nearby, so there is no rush and no scramble for a rideshare surging on price. When you are done, you roll home in the same comfort you arrived in.
Beat the Post-Game Traffic
The worst part of any big game is the crawl out of the lot. With a private chauffeur, that becomes someone else's problem.
Your crew relaxes on board, recaps the game, and lets the driver navigate the exit while everyone stays in celebration mode.
