Most fans heading to Morongo Field at the Epicenter already know the routine: turn south on Rochester Avenue, tap your credit card at the gate for $6, and find a spot in Lots A, B, or G. At a ballpark this size — roughly 6,000 seats tucked into a 52-acre complex just off I-15 — that works fine when you're rolling in solo on a Tuesday night. Get 20 or 30 people together for a Friday fireworks game, though, and the picture changes fast. Rochester Avenue backs up toward Foothill Boulevard before first pitch, the City of Rancho Cucamonga prohibits tailgating in every Epicenter parking lot by ordinance, and after the final out, 6,000 fans load out onto a two-lane surface road at once.
One Rancho Cucamonga charter bus rental fixes the whole thing — your group arrives together, gets dropped at the main entrance on Rochester Avenue, and the bus is staged and ready when you walk out.
A quick note for anyone who searched "LoanMart Field bus" or "LoanMart Field parking" — you're in the right place. Morongo Casino Resort Spa took the naming rights in April 2026, and the stadium is now officially Morongo Field at the Epicenter. Same ballpark, same address — 8408 Rochester Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730 — just a new name above the entrance.
The renaming landed alongside a bigger shift: the Quakes opened 2026 as the Single-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, reconnecting the Inland Empire to the organization that developed Mike Trout on this same infield back in 2010 — the same ballpark that later produced Dodgers stars Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger during the years the Quakes spent as a Dodgers affiliate. That gives the ballpark renewed energy heading into every homestand — and a lot of reasons to make a Quakes group outing a summer tradition.
Below you'll find exactly what a first-timer's group needs to know: how the Rochester Avenue drop-off works, where the bus stages during the game, why the no-tailgating ordinance changes your pre-game plan, which vehicle fits your headcount, and how fast you can get pricing through Partybusfontana.com.

Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to Morongo Field?
Six dollars per car sounds like cheap parking — and for a small group, it is. For a group of 20 or 25, the math shifts. Eight cars at $6 each is $48 in parking alone, before gas from Fontana or Ontario or San Bernardino, and before anyone figures out who's driving home after Thirsty Thursday specials.
The City of Rancho Cucamonga's no-tailgating ordinance removes the main reason to arrive early in a caravan — there's no pre-game setup in the lots — so splitting into multiple cars only adds coordination cost without adding any upside. On fireworks nights, when the overflow lot opens across Rochester Avenue from the main complex, some of your group is parked on the wrong side of a busy street in the dark, walking back after the show.
A Rancho Cucamonga party bus rental or charter bus handles all of it at once. One vehicle, one pickup point, everyone in the group together. The bus drops your group at the main entrance on Rochester Avenue, stages in the lot during the game, and is waiting at an agreed spot when the post-game fireworks end.
From Fontana, the run is about 14 miles — roughly 20 minutes on a normal day, closer to 30 on a fireworks night when Foothill Boulevard backs up eastbound toward the Epicenter. On a bus, that commute is somebody else's problem. The per-person cost once you split a party bus across 25 people frequently lands within range of what five or six cars would spend on parking and gas before anyone even gets inside.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrives together? | Drop-off point | Post-game exit | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Main entrance on Rochester Ave | Bus is staged; ready when you exit | 15–56 |
| Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) | Per car each way + post-game surge | No — multiple vehicles, multiple ETAs | Curbside on Rochester Ave | Surge pricing, wait times after game | 1–4 per car |
| Personal vehicles | $6 parking per car + gas | No — caravans split up | Lots A, B, or G; overflow on fireworks nights | Parking lot gridlock on busy nights | 1–2 cars |
| Metrolink + walk | Per-ticket + ~1.7-mile walk each way | Only if everyone catches the same train | Cucamonga Station, then 35 min on foot | Walk back, then wait for a train | Individuals; not practical for groups |
For one or two people, a rideshare or even the Metrolink connection is a reasonable call. Once you're past a handful of cars' worth of people, the coordination cost of separate vehicles — different arrival times, scattered parking, multiple fares, and the designated-driver question — tips decisively toward one bus. That's the group this guide is written for.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off and Parking at Morongo Field at the Epicenter
The Epicenter sits at the corner of Jack Benny Boulevard and Rochester Avenue, just off Interstate 15. Heading south on Rochester Avenue from Foothill Boulevard, the stadium complex and its parking lots appear immediately on your left. The three named lots are Lot A and Lot B — the main lots along the Rochester Avenue approach — and Lot G, which is accessible from the Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue intersection and serves as an alternate entry, particularly for vehicles coming directly off the freeway.
For a charter bus or large party bus, the natural drop-off is the main entrance plaza on Rochester Avenue: pull up, release your group at the entrance, and the bus moves to one of the main lot areas to stage during the game. Morongo Field is a city-operated complex with ample lot space for most non-fireworks events, so oversized vehicles generally find staging room in the outer portions of the lots. For fireworks nights, Fourth of July events, or any date when the overflow lot across Rochester Avenue is expected to be in use, a quick call to the Quakes office before your event is worth two minutes — they can confirm the best commercial vehicle arrangement for your specific date rather than letting you discover it at the gate.
Parking across the complex is $6 per vehicle and Morongo Field is a fully cashless venue — the parking gate, team store, and concession stands all require a credit or debit card. No cash works anywhere on the property. The official Quakes Know Before You Go page has the current breakdown on parking, prohibited items, and payment — worth checking before your group arrives so nobody is caught off guard at the lane.
No Tailgating at the Epicenter — What That Means for Your Group
Per City of Rancho Cucamonga ordinance, tailgating is not permitted in any parking lot at the Epicenter — not on game days, not on Fourth of July, not at any event on the complex. No grills, no chairs set up in the lot, no outside food setups. This applies to every space in Lots A, B, and G equally.
For groups used to a stadium parking lot tailgate, this is the policy detail that most often surprises first-timers.
What it does not eliminate is the group experience. The covered picnic pavilion in the left field corner is the standard home for group outings — reserved section, food service, field view, shade. The Left Field Cafe offers field-level table seating with a full menu, so a group can settle into a genuine table rather than bleacher seats.
The batting cage terrace along the left field line gives fans a close-up view of Angels prospects running through BP before first pitch — and for groups arriving 60 to 90 minutes early, it's worth the extra time at the gate. For corporate groups especially, the no-tailgating rule simplifies the outing: everyone walks off one bus, straight into the ballpark, and into a reserved area. The logistics collapse into one step.
The Quakes handle group reservations through their group outings page for parties of 10 or more; groups of 50 or more should call the ticket office directly at 909-481-5000, where the team finalizes headcount about two weeks out and pays only for confirmed tickets. Pair the group section through the Quakes office with a party bus or charter bus through Partybusfontana.com and the full outing is handled — transportation and seats in two calls.
Getting to Morongo Field from Fontana and the Inland Empire
Morongo Field is easy to reach from across the IE because the Epicenter sits at the convergence of three major freeway corridors — I-15, I-10, and I-210 — all within a few miles of Rochester Avenue. The most direct surface approach for most groups is south on Rochester Avenue from Foothill Boulevard, where the stadium complex and its lots appear immediately on your left. Here are typical off-peak drive times from common IE and greater Los Angeles originating points:
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical off-peak drive |
|---|---|---|
| Fontana | ~14 miles | 20–25 minutes |
| Ontario | ~8 miles | 15–20 minutes |
| San Bernardino | ~15 miles | 20–30 minutes |
| Riverside | ~25 miles | 30–40 minutes |
| Pomona | ~22 miles | 25–35 minutes |
| Downtown Los Angeles | ~40 miles | 50–75 minutes |
Those times balloon on fireworks nights and promotional games. Foothill Boulevard heading east from Fontana and the I-210 corridor through Ontario both back up toward the Rochester Avenue area on high-attendance evenings. The northbound I-15 interchange near Foothill Boulevard can also slow toward the end of the evening rush on popular game dates.
Add 15 to 20 minutes to any of the above figures for a Friday or Saturday fireworks game and you'll be close.
Omnitrans Routes 66 and 82 serve the Rochester Avenue corridor near the ballpark, and the Metrolink San Bernardino Line stops at the Cucamonga Station at 11208 Azusa Court — but that station is about 1.7 miles from the Epicenter, a roughly 35-minute walk that no group of 15 or 20 people is going to make after a game. Transit is a reasonable individual option from downtown Los Angeles; for a group heading from anywhere in the IE, a private bus from one door to another is the cleaner answer. For groups flying into the area first, Ontario International Airport (ONT) is about 8 miles from Morongo Field — the Ontario International Airport shuttle guide covers the ONT terminal layout and pickup zones for groups arriving by air.
What Size Party Bus or Charter Bus Does Your Morongo Field Group Need?
Quakes group sizes run the full range — a 15-person office outing, a birthday group of 25, a school field trip of 50. Partybusfontana.com connects you to the full vehicle lineup from a large network of bus companies serving the Inland Empire, so you're not paying for 56 seats when you need 20. Here's how the options match up for a Morongo Field run:
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Storage | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van / 14-passenger Sprinter limo | Up to 14 | Modest — bags in cabin | Small groups, VIP suite outings, executive transfers | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows |
| Party bus (25-passenger / 30-passenger) | ~15–50 | Lighter onboard storage | Fan groups, birthday parties, bachelorette outings | Color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Overhead racks, some underfloor | Corporate groups, school outings, mid-size groups | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, good maneuverability on Rochester Ave |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Deep undercarriage bays | Large school groups, corporate events, fan groups of 40+ | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
The most common request for a Quakes outing is a 25- or 30-passenger party bus — the right size for a fan group where the bus ride is part of the event, with LED lighting and a sound system to keep the energy up on the 14-mile run from Fontana. For school outings or large corporate groups, a full charter bus delivers undercarriage bays for gear and an onboard restroom that keeps stops off the itinerary. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the Partybusfontana.com network; flag it when you submit your quote and the right vehicle can be matched to your group.

Morongo Field Party Bus Rental Prices
Pricing for a Morongo Field party bus or charter bus rental depends on vehicle size, total hours, the date, and where the bus picks your group up. To give you a planning idea, rates through the Partybusfontana.com network run roughly in these ranges for the vehicles most commonly requested for this run:
- A 15–35 passenger minibus runs approximately $200–$250 per hour on weekdays and $200–$275 per hour on weekends.
- A 25-passenger party bus runs approximately $250–$350 per hour on weekdays and $275–$375 per hour on weekends.
- A 30-passenger party bus runs approximately $300–$375 per hour on weekdays and $325–$425 per hour on weekends.
- A 40–56 passenger charter bus runs approximately $200–$350 per hour, weekday or weekend.
Those are planning ranges, not guarantees — the final total moves with the date, vehicle, and hours. To give you a sense of the per-person math: a group of 25 booking a 25-passenger party bus for a Saturday fireworks game, with a 5-hour block from pickup in Fontana to post-game drop-off, might total roughly $1,375–$1,875 — approximately $55–$75 per person across 25 people. Compare that to six cars at $6 parking each ($36 just in parking), plus gas from Fontana, plus the coordination.
One bus, one number, everyone together. Check the Fontana party bus prices page for a deeper look at what shapes the quote, then call 323-380-3985 for a free estimate on your specific date — takes about a minute.
A 30-person group splitting a party bus at $325–$425/hr beats a caravan of 8 cars once you factor in $6 parking per vehicle, gas from Fontana, and the post-game exit scramble. One predictable rate, everyone arrives and leaves together, and the ride back from Morongo Field is part of the night rather than a chore.
Group Outings at Morongo Field
The Quakes run a strong promotional calendar throughout the season. Fireworks nights cap every homestand — meaning multiple post-game shows throughout the season, not just the Fourth of July. The city's 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular at the Epicenter is the biggest single-night event, drawing well beyond the regular fan base, with the overflow lot across Rochester Avenue in use and group sections booking out well ahead of the holiday.
Thirsty Thursdays bring heavily discounted drink specials throughout the game; Dollar Dog Nights run with $2 hot dogs and $1 Pepsi products — both draw solid weeknight crowds that still fill the lots enough to make parking a secondary concern on busy nights.
For a full group experience, the Quakes offer several in-park options. The covered picnic pavilion in the left field corner is the go-to for reserved group sections with food service and shade. The Left Field Cafe provides field-level table seating with a menu for groups that want more of a restaurant-style setup.
The batting cage terrace along the left field line — added before the 2013 season — gives fans a close-up look at batting practice before first pitch, which is a genuine extra for an Angels-affiliate outing where the system's newest prospects are taking their first pro swings. The Quakes group outings page has current package options; groups of 10 or more can book through the page, while groups of 50 or more should call the ticket office directly. The team finalizes headcount about two weeks before the game and you pay only for confirmed attendees.
First-Timer Tips for Morongo Field at the Epicenter
- The venue is completely cashless. Parking, concessions, the team store — every transaction at the Epicenter requires a credit or debit card. Make sure everyone in your group knows before you leave the bus so nobody gets stuck at the gate without a card.
- No tailgating, full stop. City of Rancho Cucamonga ordinance prohibits tailgating in every Epicenter parking lot for every event. No grills, no chairs set up in the lot, no pre-game setups outside. The group experience happens inside the ballpark.
- Fireworks nights are the biggest draws on the calendar. Overflow parking opens across Rochester Avenue when the main lots fill on those evenings, and lot entry slows toward Foothill Boulevard. If your group is targeting a fireworks date, book the bus as soon as your date is set — these nights pull the right-size vehicles off the network faster than a regular Tuesday game.
- Arrive 60–90 minutes early if batting practice matters. The batting cage terrace in left field opens before first pitch and gives the group a close look at Angels prospects working through their swings. It's worth the early arrival if your group includes any baseball fans who want more than just the game.
- The Rochester Avenue approach is the main bus corridor. Come south on Rochester from Foothill Boulevard and the lots appear on your left. The main entrance plaza on Rochester is the natural charter bus and party bus drop-off point before the vehicle stages for the game.
- Check the official Know Before You Go page before game day. The Quakes publish current prohibited items, bag rules, and parking updates at the official Know Before You Go page on milb.com. Rules around bags and permitted items can update between seasons, so a quick read ahead of your visit keeps your group from losing anything at the gate.
- For fireworks nights and the Fourth of July, plan the post-game exit before the bus leaves. Confirm a pickup window and meeting spot with your group before the game starts — when fireworks end, 6,000 people move toward the lots and Rochester Avenue at once, and a clear plan beats regrouping in the dark.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting a Bus to Morongo Field
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Morongo Field?
The standard drop-off is the main entrance plaza on Rochester Avenue, heading south from Foothill Boulevard — lots A and B are on your left as you approach, with the entrance plaza right at the complex. For fireworks nights or special events when the overflow lot across Rochester Avenue is expected to be active, contacting the Quakes ticket office ahead of your visit lets you confirm the best commercial vehicle staging arrangement for that specific date.
Is Morongo Field the same venue as LoanMart Field?
Yes — same ballpark, new name. LoanMart Field was the stadium's name from 2013 through 2025 after a sponsorship agreement. In April 2026, Morongo Casino Resort Spa took over the naming rights and the venue became Morongo Field at the Epicenter.
The address (8408 Rochester Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730), the Quakes, and the facility are all unchanged.
Can we tailgate in the Epicenter parking lots?
No. City of Rancho Cucamonga ordinance prohibits tailgating in every parking lot at the Epicenter — on game days and at all other events. No grills, no chairs in the lots, no outside setups of any kind. The group experience is fully inside the ballpark, where the covered picnic pavilion, the Left Field Cafe, and the batting cage terrace are the natural group areas.
How much does parking cost at Morongo Field?
Standard parking is $6 per vehicle, paid by credit or debit card at the gate — the Epicenter is entirely cashless. On high-attendance dates like fireworks nights and the Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular, an overflow lot opens across Rochester Avenue from the main complex. For a 25-person group, that's 6–7 cars at $6 each ($36–$42) in parking alone before gas — versus one bus split across everyone.
How far is Morongo Field from Fontana?
About 14 miles, typically a 20–25 minute drive under normal conditions. The most direct route is east on Foothill Boulevard (Historic Route 66) from Fontana to Rochester Avenue in Rancho Cucamonga, then south on Rochester to the Epicenter. I-15 northbound to Foothill Boulevard also works.
On fireworks nights and popular Friday games, budget an extra 15–20 minutes for Foothill Boulevard congestion eastbound toward Rochester.
How much does it cost to rent a party bus to Morongo Field?
Pricing moves with vehicle size, total hours, the date, and pickup location. As a planning reference: a 25-passenger party bus runs roughly $275–$375 per hour on weekends; a 15–35 passenger minibus runs $200–$275 per hour on weekends. A group of 25 running a 5-hour Saturday evening block might total roughly $1,375–$1,875 — about $55–$75 per person.
The fastest way to get a quote for your date is to fill out the online form or call 323-380-3985 — free quote, takes about a minute.
Can I take Metrolink or Omnitrans to Morongo Field?
Metrolink's San Bernardino Line stops at the Cucamonga Station at 11208 Azusa Court, and Omnitrans Routes 66 and 82 serve the Rochester Avenue corridor near the ballpark. The Metrolink station sits approximately 1.7 miles from the Epicenter — a roughly 35-minute walk each way — which works fine for an individual but isn't practical for a group of 15 or 20 after a game, especially on a fireworks night. Transit is noted here for completeness; for a group, a private bus from door to door is the cleaner answer.
What are the biggest game-day traffic pinch points around Morongo Field?
Rochester Avenue between Foothill Boulevard and the lot entrance backs up on high-attendance nights as everyone queues for the parking lanes. Foothill Boulevard heading east from Fontana and the I-210 corridor through Ontario also slow toward the Rancho Cucamonga area on popular game evenings. The northbound I-15 interchange near Foothill can add time toward the end of the evening rush.
Building 15–20 minutes of buffer into your group's departure from Fontana on a fireworks or promotional night keeps the arrival on schedule.
Are out-of-town groups flying into Ontario International Airport well-served by a bus?
Yes — Ontario International Airport (ONT) is about 8 miles from Morongo Field, the closest major airport to the Epicenter. A bus picks your group up at the terminal and runs straight to Rochester Avenue without anyone coordinating individual rideshares while juggling luggage on arrival day. See the Ontario International Airport transportation guide for terminal pickup zone details and the ONT Connect connection to the Metrolink station.
How far in advance should we book for a fireworks night?
As soon as the date is confirmed. Fireworks nights cap every Quakes homestand throughout the season, the Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular draws citywide crowds well beyond the standard fan base, and the right-size vehicles for these dates move off the network faster than a midweek game. For most regular-season games, two to three weeks ahead is workable; for fireworks dates and holiday weekends, book as soon as your headcount is set.
Call 323-380-3985 to lock in your date.
Are ADA-accessible buses available for Morongo Field trips?
Yes — ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the Partybusfontana.com network. Flag the need when you submit your quote and the right vehicle can be matched. At the Epicenter, accessible parking spaces are clearly marked in Lots A, B, and G.
