A Sports Fan's Guide to Moore, Oklahoma

Moore Public Schools Stadiums: The Home of High School Legends

In Moore, Friday nights belong to the gridiron. The Moore Public Schools Stadium, often referred to by locals as the "MPS Stadium," serves as the home turf for Moore High School, Westmoore High School, and Southmoore High School. This 10,000-seat venue is where the community gathers for the annual Moore War, a rivalry so intense it requires the logistics of a professional sporting event. The stadium features modern artificial turf, an expansive press box, and a high-definition scoreboard that keeps the "Lion," "Jaguar," and "SaberCat" faithful on their feet.

Planning a reunion or a large booster club outing for the big rivalry game? Make it one they won’t soon forget by arriving in a private coach. The atmosphere at the stadium is electric, with local food trucks lining the northern entrance and the marching bands providing a constant soundtrack to the action. Groups often coordinate "spirit bus" rentals to ensure students and alumni arrive together, bypassing the need to find multiple spots in the often-overflowing grass lots surrounding the complex.

Address: 1500 S Eastern Ave, Moore, OK 73160

Charter Bus Parking: Our charter buses utilize the designated commercial drop-off lane along the western gate near Eastern Avenue. Note: The stadium lot does not offer permanent oversized vehicle stalls in the main paved section. We transport your group to the entrance, then stage our buses at the nearby Moore Central Park overflow area or the multipurpose lot at Southmoore High School, returning exactly when the fourth quarter ends to ensure a seamless exit away from the post-game traffic on 12th Street.

Buck Thomas Park: The Heart of Regional Tournaments

If your sport involves a diamond or a pitch, you likely know Buck Thomas Park. Spanning over 128 acres, this is Moore's premier destination for youth baseball, softball, and soccer tournaments. The complex boasts multiple lighted fields and host organizations from across the Midwest for weekend-long bracket play. It’s also a central hub for the city’s massive "Celebration in the Heartland," though on most Saturdays, the focus is strictly on home runs and goals.

Have some time to kill between tournament seeds? The park offers a massive destination playground, walking trails, and several large pavilions perfect for a team lunch. If your youth athletes don't want to spend a lot of time standing in line at the central concession hub, many teams use their charter bus as a climate-controlled "home base" to store coolers and equipment, allowing players to escape the Oklahoma sun and review plays in the A/C.

Address: 1903 NE 12th St, Moore, OK 73160

Charter Bus Parking: Buck Thomas Park offers dedicated bus staging in the gravel overflow lot on the eastern edge of the park near the soccer fields. Unlike standard cars that get stuck in the one-way loop near the main playground, the drivers approach via NE 12th Street and utilize the wide-radius turns designed for maintenance vehicles to ensure your team unloads right next to their assigned dugout.

The University of Oklahoma Athletics: Sooner Magic Near Moore

While Moore has its own incredible local scene, we are famously just a few miles north of Norman, the home of the University of Oklahoma Sooners. For many Moore residents, game day means heading to the Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. With a capacity of over 80,000, this is one of the most-visited venues in the entire region. The "Palace on the Prairie" has seen countless Big 12 championships and Heisman trophy winners, making it a bucket-list destination for any sports fan in Moore.

Before or after the game, consider spending some time exploring Campus Corner, the historic shopping and dining district adjacent to the university. There, fans can peruse the Sooner-themed retail stores and iconic cafes before walking over to the stadium. If you are traveling with a large group of fans from Moore, don't worry about the notorious "Heisman traffic" on I-35. We recommend renting a charter bus or minibus so everyone can arrive together and comfortably. Charter Bus Moore can even connect you with a bus rental that offers undercarriage storage for your grills and tailgating tents!

Address: 180 W Brooks St, Norman, OK 73019

Charter Bus Parking: OU Football game days involve a strict traffic control plan. Our coach buses are directed to the Lloyd Noble Center shuttle parking area. We provide direct drop-offs for our passengers at the corner of Jenkins Avenue and Brooks Street, allowing your group to bypass the 2-mile walk from general public lots. We then stage at the university-approved oversized vehicle lot until your group is ready for the return trip to Moore.

The Moore Golf and Athletic Club

For those who prefer the quiet intensity of the links, the Moore Golf and Athletic Club is the city's standout destination. This 18-hole championship course is a favorite for local charity tournaments and corporate golf outings. The course is known for its challenging water hazards and manicured fairways that provide a professional-grade experience for local enthusiasts. The clubhouse also serves as a popular venue for athletic banquets and award ceremonies.

Address: 920 SW 19th St, Moore, OK 73160

Charter Bus Parking: The club features a circular drive at the main entrance specifically for shuttle loading. For larger events, we coordinate with the clubhouse manager to park buses in the designated overflow section near the maintenance shed to keep the main lot clear for club members.

Paycom Center: Pro Sports Just Minutes Away

Just a short 10-minute drive north on I-35 takes Moore fans into the heart of Oklahoma City to watch the OKC Thunder at the Paycom Center. As the region's only major league professional team, the Thunder draws massive crowds from Moore for every home game. The "Loud City" atmosphere is legendary in the NBA, and the arena also hosts the biggest indoor concerts and touring shows like the Harlem Globetrotters and WWE events.

Address: 100 W Reno Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102

Charter Bus Parking: Paycom Center does not offer onsite parking for oversized vehicles. Our buses utilize the designated commercial drop-off loop on the west side of the arena on Robinson Avenue. After unloading your group, we stage our vehicles at the nearby Union Station bus lot or the Bass Pro Shops overflow area in Bricktown, returning for pickup immediately at the final buzzer.

The Station at Central Park

The Station is Moore's premier indoor athletic facility, featuring multiple basketball and volleyball courts that host local leagues and regional fitness competitions. This 53,000-square-foot facility is the hub for community recreation and youth basketball tournaments throughout the winter months. For teams traveling from out of town or local schools coordinating multi-grade athletics, a minibus rental is the most efficient way to manage the tight parking lot during peak Saturday morning game times.

Address: 700 S Broadway Ave, Moore, OK 73160

Charter Bus Parking: We utilize the bus-only loading zone at the south entrance of Central Park. To avoid blocking the flow of traffic for the farmers market or aquatic center, we stage buses at the Moore Public Schools administrative lot across the street during the event.

Ben Clark Training Center

While often used for municipal training, the fields at the Ben Clark complex are a staple for Moore’s competitive soccer and rugby matches. The open layout and high-quality turf make it a preferred spot for local sports organizations looking for a professional-grade playing surface away from the more crowded park complexes. It's a localized "insider" spot that many traveling teams find challenging to navigate without a driver who knows the turn-off from the frontage road.

Address: 2112 NE 12th St, Moore, OK 73160
