The logic seems sound enough: the stadium is only 6 miles from downtown Ontario, parking runs about $5 a car, and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes tickets are genuinely affordable — how complicated can a group trip be? About as complicated as coordinating seven cars from three different hotels across the I-15/I-10 interchange during a Friday rush hour, then spending the first inning in a text-thread argument about which lot everyone landed in. Morongo Field at The Epicenter (8408 Rochester Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730) sits right off the 15 and draws real crowds for fireworks nights, promotion games, and bobblehead giveaways — and those are exactly the games where the main lot fills, overflow parking crosses Rochester Avenue, and getting your group back together after the final out takes longer than the game itself.
The ballpark opened the 2026 season as Morongo Field at The Epicenter, renamed at an April 3 ceremony after operating as LoanMart Field from 2013. It is home to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, now the Single-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels after a 15-year run in the Dodgers organization. With 6,588 seats and a summer schedule running from April into September, the Quakes offer some of the most accessible professional baseball in the Inland Empire.
One Ontario party bus or Rancho Cucamonga charter bus rental takes care of the coordination entirely — your whole group departs from one address, arrives at Rochester Avenue together, and does not need to negotiate the post-game lot exodus.
Why a Charter Bus or Party Bus Makes Sense for Morongo Field
The argument against renting a bus for a Quakes game is the same one every group makes until they have actually tried to coordinate eight people across four vehicles: it is close, parking is cheap, and it does not seem worth it. Here is what that actually looks like. Four cars converging on Rochester Avenue during an evening rush in June, each GPS choosing a slightly different route, two cars landing in the main lot and two diverted to overflow across the street, and everyone trying to find each other near Jack Benny Drive.
The game starts without two of them.
A single charter bus or party bus from Ontario, Upland, Chino Hills, or Pomona solves the whole problem at once. One pickup address, one vehicle, one arrival at the Rochester Avenue entrance. The bus handles its own staging during the game and is right there when your group walks out — no surge-priced rideshare queue, no post-game walk back to a lot across a busy road in the dark.
For groups of 15 or more, the per-person cost of a party bus frequently comes out close to what everyone would have spent on separate parking and gas.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at Morongo Field at The Epicenter
The main entrance to Morongo Field is on Rochester Avenue, south of Foothill Boulevard. A secondary access point runs through Jack Benny Drive — the street named for the comedian who made “Rancho Cucamonga” a famous punchline on national radio decades before the Quakes put it on a baseball schedule. Rochester Avenue is the primary approach for buses and large vehicles: heading south from Foothill, the lot entrances and the main gate appear on the left.
Charter buses and large vehicles drop off curbside on Rochester Avenue near the main entrance, and the on-site lot network is spacious enough to accommodate bus staging during the game for most events.
For specific large-vehicle access and staging arrangements — especially for high-attendance fireworks or promotion nights — the Quakes ticket office at (909) 481-5000 is the right contact before your visit. The official Quakes ballpark page has the current ballpark guide and directions. The Epicenter complex includes adult sports fields and additional parking areas beyond the main ballpark lots, so the site has room — the key is knowing the plan before your group shows up on a sellout night.
Drop-off is curbside on Rochester Avenue, steps from the main gate. Confirm large-vehicle staging for high-attendance games with the Quakes ticket office before your visit — the lot network is spacious for routine games, but sellout promotion nights fill fast on both sides of the street.
Parking at Morongo Field at The Epicenter: What Groups Need to Know
Parking at Morongo Field runs approximately $5 per vehicle — inexpensive enough that it does not register as a concern for a single car. Multiply that across 8 cars carrying 25 people and you are looking at $40 in parking alone, spread across multiple vehicles all aiming for the same lot entrance on a packed Friday night. For most games, the on-site lots off Rochester Avenue handle demand without much trouble.
The situation changes on fireworks nights and major promotion games, which routinely hit near-sellout attendance: the main lot fills, overflow parking opens across Rochester Avenue, and the post-game crowd exits all at once — same street, same moment.
One firm rule to know before you go: tailgating is not permitted in any Epicenter parking lot, per City of Rancho Cucamonga policy. The lots are for parking, not setup. For a group that wants to build the pre-game atmosphere together, the party bus or charter bus ride over is the natural substitute — the group is already together before anyone reaches the gate.
ADA-accessible parking is available in lots A, B, and G, clearly marked on-site. For a heads-up on which dates this season feature fireworks or major promotions — the games most likely to push parking to overflow — the Quakes’ official schedule is the place to check before you pick your game date.
Getting to Morongo Field from Ontario, Upland, Pomona, and Chino Hills
Morongo Field sits in the center of the Inland Empire, reachable from I-10, I-15, and CA-210. Coming from the Ontario area, the standard approach runs north on I-15 to the Milliken Avenue exit, then east on Foothill Boulevard and right (south) on Rochester Avenue — the stadium entrance and parking lots appear on the left almost immediately. Groups coming from Pomona or Chino Hills via I-10 head north on Milliken or Rochester to the same Foothill connector.
From Upland, Rochester Avenue runs directly south to the entrance without a freeway leg at all.
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time (off-peak) |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Ontario | ~6 miles | 10–15 minutes |
| Ontario International Airport (ONT) | ~8 miles | 12–18 minutes |
| Upland | ~5 miles | 8–12 minutes |
| Pomona | ~14 miles | 18–25 minutes |
| Chino Hills | ~12 miles | 15–22 minutes |
| Downtown Los Angeles | ~45 miles | 45–90 minutes (traffic-dependent) |
Off-peak, most Inland Empire cities are a quick run to Rochester Avenue. The problem is that most Quakes games are evening starts — which means the drive from Ontario or Pomona overlaps with the I-10/I-15 interchange at its worst, and arrival timing across multiple separate cars stops being reliable. A Rancho Cucamonga party bus rental removes that variable entirely: one vehicle, one pickup point, one arrival.
Groups flying into Ontario International Airport (ONT) — about 8 miles from the ballpark — benefit especially from a single terminal pickup rather than splitting across rideshares at arrivals. The Ontario International Airport transportation guide has more detail on airport group pickup logistics.
Rent a Bus to Morongo Field: Which Vehicle Fits Your Group?
Morongo Field is a 6,588-seat ballpark — the crowds are real but intimate, and the right vehicle for most groups here is a mid-size option rather than a full motorcoach. For a group of 15–25 coming from the same Ontario hotel block or the same Upland neighborhood, a 15–35 passenger minibus is a clean fit: climate control and reclining seats for a short ride, easy maneuvering on Foothill Boulevard and Rochester Avenue, and enough overhead storage for bags without needing undercarriage bays. For groups that want the pre-game atmosphere built into the ride — LED lighting, a premium sound system, Bluetooth — a 25-passenger party bus covers the same group size in more style.
Larger organized outings — corporate group tickets, birthday trips drawing fans from across the region, company outings requiring multiple office pickups — are better served by a 40–56 passenger charter bus. A full coach carries up to 56 with undercarriage storage, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets, which matters on longer hauls from Downtown Los Angeles or Pomona. For smaller executive or VIP parties of up to 14, a Sprinter van is a comfortable, right-sized option.

| Vehicle | Seats | Best for Morongo Field trips | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15–35 passenger minibus | 15–35 | Mid-size fan groups, Ontario hotel-to-game shuttles | Powerful A/C, reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 25-passenger party bus | ~25 | Fan groups, birthday outings, groups wanting a pre-game atmosphere | LED lighting, premium sound system, Bluetooth, flat-panel TVs |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large corporate groups, LA-to-Rancho Cucamonga runs | Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage storage |
| Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Small VIP parties, executive outings, suite groups | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted windows |
Charter Bus Rental Prices for Morongo Field at The Epicenter
Most Morongo Field group trips run 3–5 hours from pickup to drop-off, covering travel to and from the ballpark plus the game. To give you a planning idea: a 15–35 passenger minibus typically runs $200–$250 per hour on weekdays and $200–$275 per hour on weekends; a 25-passenger party bus runs roughly $250–$350 per hour on weekdays and $275–$375 per hour on weekends; a full-size 40–56 passenger charter bus runs $200–$350 per hour on either day type. For a four-hour rental on a weekend night — pickup, game, return — a 25-person group splitting a party bus might land around $44–$60 per person, which compares favorably to what multiple cars spend on parking, gas, and post-game rideshare fares combined.
Those are planning ranges, not quotes. Real pricing for your specific date, group size, and pickup location comes from the Ontariopartybus.net online tool in under 30 seconds, or from a call to 909-663-9586 any time with no obligation. Vehicle availability for fireworks nights and promotion games fills faster than routine midweek games — if your date is a high-demand night, getting a quote earlier avoids the scramble.

What to Know Before Your First Quakes Game at Morongo Field
- Book high-demand dates early. Fireworks nights, bobblehead giveaways, and themed promotion games fill the ballpark and the parking lots. Bus availability for popular June–August Saturday games gets thin with less than 2–3 weeks of lead time. Once your date is set, locking in the vehicle earlier is always the better move.
- No tailgating in the lots. City of Rancho Cucamonga policy prohibits tailgating at any Epicenter parking lot, no exceptions. Build the pre-game energy into the group ride over instead.
- Overflow parking crosses Rochester Avenue. On sellout nights, the main lot fills and fans are directed across the street. That adds a walk on the way in and congested exit traffic after the game. A bus drops the group at the entrance and handles its own staging — both problems disappear.
- ADA parking is in lots A, B, and G. Clearly marked on-site. Note any accessibility needs when you request your quote so the right vehicle is arranged in advance.
- Games typically run 2.5–3 hours. Minor League Baseball games move at a quick pace. A 6:30 PM first pitch with a 5:30 PM pickup and a 10 PM return window covers most games comfortably without rushing the post-game exit.
- Groups of 50 or more: contact the Quakes directly. The Quakes ticket department handles large group reservations and can coordinate group arrival logistics. Current group package details are on the Quakes’ group outings page.
FAQs About Renting a Bus to Morongo Field at The Epicenter
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Morongo Field?
The main entrance to Morongo Field is on Rochester Avenue, south of Foothill Boulevard. Charter buses and large vehicles use curbside drop-off on Rochester Avenue near the main gate. A secondary access route runs through Jack Benny Drive along the south side of the complex.
For confirmed staging arrangements — especially for high-attendance promotion nights — call the Quakes ticket office before your visit.
How much does parking cost at Morongo Field at The Epicenter?
Parking runs approximately $5 per vehicle. For high-attendance games, the main lot fills and overflow parking opens across Rochester Avenue. ADA parking is in lots A, B, and G. For a group that would otherwise bring 6–8 separate cars, one charter bus or minibus eliminates the per-car parking cost and the multi-vehicle coordination entirely.
Is tailgating allowed at Morongo Field?
No. Tailgating is not permitted in any Epicenter parking lot per City of Rancho Cucamonga policy. The lots are parking-only, and the rule applies site-wide. For the pre-game social experience, the group ride over on a party bus is the practical substitute.
Are the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes still a Dodgers affiliate?
Not as of 2026. The Quakes were a Dodgers Single-A affiliate from 2011 through 2025. Starting with the 2026 season, the team switched to the Los Angeles Angels — the same organization the Quakes were tied to before the Dodgers era.
The Dodgers’ new Single-A affiliate is now based in Ontario. Home game dates and the full 2026 schedule are on the official Quakes schedule page.
How far is Morongo Field from Ontario International Airport?
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is about 8 miles from the ballpark — a 12–18 minute run off-peak. For groups flying in, a single terminal pickup keeps everyone together from the moment luggage is collected, rather than splitting across multiple rideshares at arrivals. The Ontario International Airport transportation guide covers the airport group logistics in detail.
Is there public transit from Ontario to Morongo Field at The Epicenter?
The Rancho Cucamonga Metrolink station (11208 Azusa Ct) is on the San Bernardino Line, but it sits several miles from the ballpark with no direct game-day shuttle connection between the station and Rochester Avenue. For most groups coming from Ontario and the surrounding Inland Empire cities, a minibus or party bus from their origin point is more direct than a Metrolink trip that still requires a second connection to reach the stadium.
How far in advance should I book a bus to Morongo Field?
For routine weeknight games, 1–2 weeks is workable. For fireworks nights, bobblehead giveaways, and weekend games in June–August, book 3–4 weeks out. The Quakes’ peak season fills vehicle availability quickly for the most popular game dates.
For LA-area groups traveling as a large party, 4–6 weeks gives you the best vehicle selection and pricing. Call 909-663-9586 to check availability for your specific game date.
Can a group from Los Angeles book a round-trip charter bus to Morongo Field?
Yes — a round-trip from Downtown LA to Rancho Cucamonga is one of the most common longer-haul requests for Quakes games. At roughly 45 miles one way via I-10 East, plan 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. A 5 PM departure from Downtown LA for a 7 PM first pitch is a reasonable buffer on most evenings.
A 40–56 passenger charter bus carries the full group in one vehicle with undercarriage storage and onboard restrooms for the drive. Call 909-663-9586 to confirm the right vehicle and pickup window for your group’s origin point.
