There is no other spring training setup quite like Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter. The Miami Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals share one 6,871-seat ballpark tucked inside the Abacoa community, and when both teams run full home schedules through February and March, the preferred lots around Main Street fill early — most of them cash only at $10 — and the nearest overflow option adds a shuttle or a walk to an already-tight pre-game timeline. Groups who figure this out in the parking lot, not before they left West Palm Beach, are the ones who miss batting practice.
A Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium charter bus or party bus from West Palm Beach clears all of it: your group rides the 19-mile I-95 North run together, steps off at Gate B on Main Street, and the whole lot-hunting question is somebody else's problem.

No account needed. Below is everything a group needs to plan the trip right: where the bus drops off, how bus parking works at this stadium, what the lots cost (and the cash-only catch most visitors miss), how the I-95 run from West Palm Beach actually goes, and how groups pair Roger Dean with CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches for a two-game spring training day — plus the 2026 construction details every Cardinals fan needs to know before arriving.
Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium's 6,871 seats sell out routinely — it is the smallest shared spring training facility in the Grapefruit League — and the parking situation outside scales with that. The preferred grass lots (Lots C, D, and E) directly west and north of the stadium require cash only, so fans who arrive without it get redirected to the Abacoa Parking Garage at $15 or the Florida Atlantic University overflow lot (Lot A) farther out, which means a longer walk or a shuttle back. During Spring Break in March — the peak window when both the Cardinals and Marlins are running home dates and the Grapefruit League is at full capacity — every one of those lots fills earlier than most fans plan for.
And after the game, Main Street backs up through the Abacoa intersection before the stadium even fully empties.
A West Palm Beach party bus or charter bus rental to Roger Dean eliminates every step of that. Your group boards at one pickup point in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, or anywhere along the I-95 corridor, rides up together, and steps off at Gate B while other fans are still circling for spots. The bus stages nearby during the game and is right there at the end — nobody regrouping in a dark parking lot, nobody waiting on a shuttle that runs on its own schedule.
For the two-stadium spring training day pairing Roger Dean with CACTI Park 12 miles south, a bus handles the hop between venues cleanly — one vehicle, one plan, no mid-afternoon parking scramble in between.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium
The designated drop-off area at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is located directly in front of the stadium outside Gate B on Main Street, per the stadium's published information. Gate B is ADA accessible and puts your group steps from the main entrance — no circling, no secondary lot, straight off the bus and through the gate. Most spring training groups entering the stadium use Gate B as the primary arrival point, so it is the right target for a charter bus or party bus pulling up from I-95.
Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch. Groups wanting batting practice access should note that early entry is available approximately two hours before game time for an additional $5 per person at the gate. The earlier you pull up, the more of pre-game you actually see — which is one of the main reasons people make the trip to Roger Dean in the first place.
That left-field bullpen is one of the most player-accessible spots in all of spring training.
Charter Bus Parking at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium
For oversized vehicles — charter buses, party buses, any group vehicle that does not fit a standard space — parking arrangements at Roger Dean must be made in advance directly with the ticket office at (561) 630-1828. The stadium does not have a self-serve bus lot; oversized parking is coordinated per event, and groups that assume standard lot access for a full-size coach find out at the Main Street entrance that it does not work that way. When you request a quote through Westpalmbeachpartybus.com, the booking company helps coordinate the bus parking arrangement for your specific game date — that detail gets sorted before your group is ever on the bus, not at the gate.
For reference on the full parking picture: preferred lots (C, D, E — the grass fields west and north of the stadium) run $10 cash only per game; the Abacoa Parking Garage on Parkside Drive runs $15; the Florida Atlantic University lot (Lot A) serves as the primary overflow at $6; and additional overflow spills into surface lots H, I, and J along Town Center Drive and Chancellor Drive, as well as behind the Cardinals practice fields off Promenade and Central Boulevard. The free garage in Downtown Abacoa is about a five-minute walk. A single charter bus sidesteps the entire matrix.
Check the official Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium parking page for the current game-day map before your visit.
The preferred lots at Roger Dean are cash only. Fans who show up without cash are redirected to the $15 garage or the FAU overflow lot. A charter bus makes that discovery irrelevant — your group walks off at Gate B and the parking question never comes up at all.
Getting to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium from West Palm Beach: The I-95 Route
The drive from downtown West Palm Beach to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is about 19 miles north on I-95, typically running 30 to 40 minutes off-peak. The stadium sits inside the Abacoa community of Jupiter, roughly a quarter mile east of I-95. The standard approach: I-95 North to Exit 83 (Donald Ross Road), east half a mile, then left on Parkside Drive and follow it to the stadium.
If you're coming from the Florida Turnpike, exit at Indiantown Road (Exit 116) and merge onto I-95 South to Exit 83.
The complication on game days — especially Saturday and Sunday in March — is Donald Ross Road itself after the I-95 exit. Traffic queues through the Abacoa intersection as fans funnel toward Main Street from multiple directions, and the single-lane approach to the preferred lots can slow the last quarter mile significantly. Rideshare cars asked to drop at Main Street face the same queue, then circle for a spot to pull over.
A charter bus already has a confirmed drop target at Gate B — pull up, unload, done — rather than fighting the same lane as every car looking for parking.
For groups traveling from Boca Raton or Delray Beach, add roughly 10 to 15 miles to the south starting point — still a straight I-95 run, still landing at Exit 83. Groups from Palm Beach Gardens or North Palm Beach are even closer, about 8 to 10 miles from Roger Dean's Main Street entrance. A Jupiter-area bus rental is a practical option for groups already north of West Palm Beach who want to consolidate pickups along the way.
Pair Roger Dean with CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches for a Spring Training Two-Stadium Day
The most distinctive thing about spring training in Palm Beach County is that you can watch two completely different MLB matchups on the same calendar day without leaving the county — and a bus makes it practical. CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches (5444 Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33407) sits about 12 miles south of Roger Dean and hosts the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros each spring. From late February through late March, games at both venues run on overlapping or sequential schedules — a morning or early-afternoon start at CACTI Park, then a 1:05 PM or 6:05 PM first pitch at Roger Dean — putting two Grapefruit League games in one day within reach of a group on one bus.
CACTI Park operates as a cashless venue — parking runs $12 in advance or $15 on game day for standard vehicles, and buses or RVs are priced at $25. A bus group pays one $25 parking fee at CACTI Park, watches the Nationals or Astros, then boards and rides 12 miles up I-95 to Roger Dean for game two. No parking pass to buy a second time.
No second car to coordinate. The logistics for a two-stadium day collapse into a single vehicle and a pre-planned schedule. The CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches transportation guide covers that venue's drop-off and bus parking in detail if your group is building out the full day itinerary.
For groups checking the Palm Beaches spring training schedule to plan a two-stadium day: the Cardinals and Marlins play both home and away during their spring slate, so not every Roger Dean date has both teams in Jupiter simultaneously. Check the individual team schedules — Cardinals and Marlins — to confirm which team is home on your date before you lock in the itinerary.
Which Bus Fits Your Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium Group?
Roger Dean's spring training crowd skews toward smaller groups — family groups, office spring training outings, Cardinals or Marlins fan clubs making the trip down — rather than the 60,000-person stadium-event demand of a Super Bowl host venue. That said, Westpalmbeachpartybus.com connects you to the full vehicle lineup through a large network of bus companies serving West Palm Beach and Jupiter, so the right fit is available whether you've got 12 people or 50.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van / 14-passenger Sprinter limo | Up to 14 | Small friend groups, family trips, executive spring training outings | Premium leather, USB charging, climate control, tinted windows |
| 25-passenger or 28-passenger party bus | ~25–28 | Mid-size fan groups wanting the ride-in-style experience | LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, perimeter seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Corporate spring training trips, school and civic groups, family reunions | Reclining seats, powerful A/C, overhead storage, coach amenities |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large fan groups, two-stadium full-day trips, organization outings | Deep undercarriage bays, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, overhead bins |
For most Roger Dean spring training groups, a 15-35 passenger minibus is the natural fit — comfortable for the 30-to-40-minute I-95 run from West Palm Beach, easy to stage on Abacoa's side streets, and right-sized for the groups that typically make the spring training trip. For groups doing the two-stadium day at both Roger Dean and CACTI Park, a full-size charter bus earns its spot: the undercarriage bays hold gear for an eight-hour day, and the onboard restroom means no mid-hop detour between venues. The West Palm Beach sporting event party bus page covers the broader range of group sports transportation if your spring training trip is part of a longer Palm Beach County itinerary.
Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium Charter Bus and Party Bus Rental Prices
Bus pricing for a Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium run depends on your group size, how many hours you need the vehicle, and whether your trip falls on a weekday or a weekend. Spring training weekends — especially March dates when games routinely sell out — run on the higher end of the weekend range. To give you an idea of planning ranges through the Westpalmbeachpartybus.com network:
| Vehicle | Weekday hourly range | Weekend hourly range | Per-day range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van | $200–$275/hr | $225–$375/hr | $1,400–$2,750 |
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo | $200–$325/hr | $225–$350/hr | $1,550–$3,150 |
| 25-passenger party bus | $250–$350/hr | $275–$375/hr | $1,850–$2,900 |
| 15-35 passenger minibus | $200–$250/hr | $200–$275/hr | $1,100–$2,150 |
| 40-56 passenger charter bus | $200–$350/hr | $200–$350/hr | $1,350–$2,850 |
Those are planning ranges — your actual quote moves with the date, how long you need the vehicle, and how far the pickup is from Jupiter. To give you a sense of how it works: a Saturday game run for a group of 22 people on a 15-35 passenger minibus — pick up in downtown West Palm Beach, arrive at Roger Dean 90 minutes before first pitch, wait through the game, and return — typically plans for five to six hours. At weekend minibus rates, splitting that across 22 people puts each person in a range most spring training groups find comparable to or better than the combination of gas, tolls, and parking passes per car.

What Every Group Should Know Before Visiting Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium
Bag policy. All bags brought into Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium must not exceed 16" × 16" × 8". Any backpack brought in must be a clear backpack.
All items are subject to search at the gates. One factory-sealed water bottle per person is allowed; no other outside food or beverages are permitted, and no outside drinks come in. Medical and infant items are the exception.
Arrival timing. Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch. If batting practice and autograph access near the left-field bullpen is the point of the trip — and it should be, because Roger Dean's bullpen is genuinely accessible in a way most MLB parks are not — plan to arrive at that 90-minute mark or take advantage of the early-entry option at approximately two hours out.
Autographs are best obtained at each team's bullpen, and the practice fields open to the public around 9:30 AM on regular spring training mornings.
2026 construction changes. Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is in the middle of a $108 million renovation, with construction beginning after the 2025 spring training season. For 2026, the normal entrance to the Cardinals back practice fields is closed due to the construction footprint.
Cardinals fans wanting to watch back-field workouts need to enter from the Marlins side of the complex: from Main Street, turn right on Avenue A, then left on Stadium Boulevard, and follow until you see the Marlins Practice Fields signage. Parking and entry for the main stadium games at Gate B on Main Street remains unchanged.
Seating notes. Cardinals fans traditionally sit on the first base side; Marlins fans on the third base side. The stadium has no roof, so shade in the lower sections is limited.
Rows 5 and above in Sections 204–209 get partial shade from the press box overhang during afternoon games — the only real shade inside the bowl. The grass berm in left field allows blankets; chairs are not permitted on the lawn. Pack accordingly for Florida March heat and afternoon sun.
Contact. Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is at 4751 Main Street, Jupiter, FL 33458. The main ticket office number is (561) 775-1818; for group tickets or bus/oversized vehicle parking arrangements, the stadium lists (561) 630-1828.
Review the stadium's official information and policies page before your visit for the most current rules and any game-day updates.
Spring Training 2026 at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium
The Cardinals open their 2026 Grapefruit League home slate on February 21 when they host the Washington Nationals at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium — a date that falls on a Saturday and is expected to draw a near-capacity crowd. The Cardinals play 15 home games at Roger Dean through their break camp date of March 22, plus three additional games as the visiting team against the Marlins at the same stadium, giving Cardinals fans 18 total games at this one facility. The Marlins run a comparable home schedule beginning February 25.
Eight of the Cardinals' 10 weekend dates through the spring fall at Roger Dean — February 21 and 28, and Saturdays and Sundays in March — which are consistently the hardest tickets and the busiest parking days of the spring training season.
For groups building a trip around a specific matchup, the Cardinals' home schedule features games against the Nationals, Astros, Pirates, Mets, and Red Sox among others, plus three Cardinals-Marlins games at Roger Dean (February 28, March 8, and March 14) that put both tenant teams on the same field. Those inter-tenant dates are uniquely Roger Dean experiences — nowhere else in spring training do two MLB teams share the same ballpark — and they sell out particularly fast. Book your bus before those games fill up, and lock in a vehicle well ahead of any March weekend date.
The earlier the reservation, the better the vehicle selection through the Westpalmbeachpartybus.com network.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium
Where exactly does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
The drop-off area is located directly in front of the stadium outside Gate B on Main Street, and it is ADA accessible. Gate B is the main entry point for spring training games and puts your group at the turnstiles immediately after stepping off. There is no secondary charter bus entrance that bypasses Gate B — your bus pulls up to Main Street, your group unloads, and the bus clears before Main Street backs up in the pre-game queue.
Where does a charter bus park at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
Oversized vehicle parking must be pre-arranged with the stadium's ticket office. Roger Dean does not have a self-serve bus lot — bus and RV parking is coordinated per event. When you request a quote through Westpalmbeachpartybus.com, the booking company helps coordinate this for your game date so your group is not discovering the answer at the gate.
How much does parking cost at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
The preferred grass lots (C, D, E) directly near the stadium run $10 cash only per game. The Abacoa Parking Garage on Parkside Drive runs $15. The Florida Atlantic University overflow lot (Lot A) is $6, with additional overflow in surface lots along Town Center Drive and Chancellor Drive.
There is also a free parking garage in Downtown Abacoa, approximately a five-minute walk from Gate B. A single charter bus eliminates the parking cost for the whole group.
How far is Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium from West Palm Beach?
Approximately 19 miles north on I-95 from downtown West Palm Beach, typically a 30-to-40-minute drive off-peak. Exit I-95 at Exit 83 (Donald Ross Road), head east half a mile, turn left on Parkside Drive, and follow to the stadium. From the Florida Turnpike, exit at Indiantown Road (Exit 116) and enter I-95 South to Exit 83.
On busy Saturday game days in March, allow extra time — Donald Ross Road backs up from the Abacoa entrance in the hour before first pitch.
Can I pair Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium with CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches in one day?
Yes — this is one of the most popular spring training itineraries in Palm Beach County. CACTI Park (5444 Haverhill Road, West Palm Beach, FL 33407) is about 12 miles south of Roger Dean and hosts the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros. With scheduling overlap between the two venues, a morning game at CACTI Park followed by an afternoon or evening game at Roger Dean is achievable on a single day.
A bus handles the 15-to-20-minute hop between venues cleanly — bus parking at CACTI Park runs $25 for oversized vehicles. The CACTI Park transportation guide covers that venue's specifics.
What is the bag policy at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
Bags must not exceed 16" × 16" × 8". Any backpack brought in must be clear. All bags are searched at the gates.
One factory-sealed water bottle per person is permitted; no other outside food or drinks. Medical and infant items are excepted. The stadium recommends reviewing its official information and policies page before your visit for any updates to the current policy.
What are the 2026 construction changes at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
The stadium is undergoing a $108 million renovation that began after the 2025 spring training season. For 2026, the normal Cardinals back practice field entrance is closed. Cardinals fans going to watch back-field workouts need to approach from the Marlins side of the complex — from Main Street, right on Avenue A, left on Stadium Boulevard, then follow the Marlins Practice Fields signage.
Gate B entry for regular stadium games on Main Street is not affected by the construction.
How early should my group arrive at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
Gates open 90 minutes before first pitch, and that is the recommended arrival target for groups who want to find seats together and take in the pre-game atmosphere. Groups specifically coming for batting practice and autographs at the left-field bullpen should aim for the early-entry window approximately two hours before game time. On busy weekend dates in March, add time for the Donald Ross Road backup approaching the Abacoa entrance — 15 to 20 extra minutes from I-95 is not unusual on a peak Saturday.
How far in advance should I book a bus to Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium?
For most spring training dates, booking two to four weeks out gives you solid vehicle selection. For Saturday and Sunday games in March — which are the busiest dates at Roger Dean and the ones most likely to have multiple groups competing for the same vehicles — booking a month or more in advance is a better call. Cardinals-Marlins head-to-head dates (February 28, March 8, March 14 in 2026) are the highest-demand single days of the spring season and worth reserving as soon as your travel is confirmed.
Call 561-290-0572 to lock in your date.
