Alerus Center sits on a large surface parking campus on the south side of Grand Forks, with free parking in Lot A and Lot B along the east and south sides of the facility off 42nd Street South. One of the genuine advantages of the Alerus Center is that parking is $15 for ticketed events. Party buses and oversized vehicles use the outer rows of these surface lots, which gives the bus room to maneuver and stage comfortably while your group is inside.

Alerus Center has 13 bus spaces across its parking campus, so the bus has a designated place to wait instead of competing for ordinary car spaces. Drop-off is along the main entrance on the west side of the building off 42nd Street S. For major events like UND commencement or a big concert, lots fill quickly — plan your arrival with time to spare, and confirm current event-day access details on the Alerus Center plan your visit page before you go.

Ralph Engelstad Arena is located on the north end of the UND campus along Columbia Road. The main entrance is on the west side of the arena, and party buses drop off passengers along Columbia Road at the east side main entrance before relocating to the outer rows of the adjacent UND surface lots — Lot 32 and the surrounding north campus lots are the closest options for oversized vehicles. UND Parking Services manages all campus lots, and event-night enforcement is active, so plan your staging accordingly.

The arena's current parking and transportation details put the east side main entrance on the route for passenger drop-off, while general event parking is directed to designated lots away from the arena. For specific event-day lot assignments and any access updates, check with UND Parking Services at (701) 777-3551 or visit parking.und.edu before your visit. A party bus keeps your whole group together on the ride up Columbia Road — no splitting into separate cars, no hunting for spots in a packed lot on a sold-out hockey night.

Betty Engelstad Sioux Center (3850 N Columbia Rd, Grand Forks, ND 58203) sits directly adjacent to Ralph Engelstad Arena on the UND north campus, sharing the same Columbia Road surface lot complex. Drop-off for party buses is on 10th Avenue West in front of the main lobby. After unloading, the bus stages in the outer rows of the north campus surface lots — the same Lot 32 area that serves the arena next door.

Because the two venues share a lot and are steps apart, a party bus can drop your group at one and pick up at the other without any extra coordination headache. The arena's Ralph Engelstad Arena parking and transportation page also identifies the 10th Avenue West lobby drop-off for the BESC. Confirm current event-day parking details with UND Parking Services at (701) 777-3551 or at parking.und.edu before your event.

Chester Fritz Auditorium (3475 University Ave, Grand Forks, ND 58202) is the UND campus's premier performing arts venue, right on University Avenue. Your party bus drops your group at the front drive on University Avenue — the curved main entrance is set up for vehicle drop-off — then relocates to the nearest available UND surface lots along University Avenue (Lot 1 and Lot 5 are the closest) while your group is inside. UND Parking Services manages these lots, and event-night enforcement is active on campus.

Confirm current lot access on the Chester Fritz visit page or by calling UND Parking Services at (701) 777-3551 before your show. The practical upside of arriving by party bus: your group walks in together from one drop-off point on University Avenue instead of trickling in from scattered parking spots across campus.

Empire Arts Center (415 DeMers Ave, Grand Forks, ND 58201) is a historic downtown theater right on DeMers Avenue — the heart of Grand Forks's main entertainment corridor. Street parking on DeMers Avenue is metered, and there's no dedicated bus lot at the venue itself, so the standard approach is a curbside drop-off on DeMers Avenue at the front entrance, with the bus then relocating to one of the nearby City of Grand Forks surface lots on 4th Street N or 5th Street N (between Kittson Avenue and DeMers Avenue), roughly one to two blocks away. The Grand Forks Parking Ramp (401 Kittson Ave N) is also within two blocks and gives the bus a covered option if available.

Arriving by party bus means your whole group unloads right at the Empire's front door on DeMers Avenue — no circling downtown looking for metered spots, no splitting up to meet at the entrance.

University of North Dakota (264 Centennial Dr, Grand Forks, ND 58202) is the dominant event hub in the city, and the right drop-off point depends on which venue or building your group is heading to. For athletic events at Ralph Engelstad Arena and Betty Engelstad Sioux Center, drop-off is along Columbia Road at the west entrances of those facilities, with staging in the north campus surface lots (Lot 32 and surrounding). For Chester Fritz Auditorium, drop-off is at the front drive on University Avenue, with staging in Lot 1 or Lot 5.

For general campus visits and other buildings, the main visitor surface lots run along University Avenue. UND Parking Services coordinates event-day lot access and can confirm current assignments — reach them at (701) 777-3551 or at parking.und.edu. Because so many Grand Forks events happen on this campus, knowing your specific building and entrance before game day makes the whole drop-off seamless.

Book at least four to six weeks out for most Grand Forks trips, and stretch that to three to six months for the dates that fill the fastest. UND hockey playoff weekends in February and March, UND commencement at Alerus Center in May, and prom season across Grand Forks Central, Red River High School, and surrounding districts in April and May are the tightest windows of the year — party buses get claimed early and prices reflect the demand. UND Homecoming in October and big Alerus Center concert dates fill quickly too.

The earlier you compare and book, the more options you'll have and the better the price. Waiting until the last minute almost always means fewer buses to choose from and higher rates. Call 701-620-4850 right now to lock in your date — or use the online quote tool to see what's available in seconds!
