Quick Answer: A Bears vs Jaguars party bus takes your whole group from the western suburbs to Soldier Field for the noon kickoff on Sunday, December 6, then brings everyone home together after the game. Party buses typically carry up to 30 passengers, Sprinters up to 14 and coach buses up to 54. To tailgate, plan to arrive around 9:30–10:00 a.m. From Westmont, Oak Brook or Hinsdale, that usually means leaving around 8:30–9:00 a.m.
A Bears vs Jaguars party bus turns an early-December game day into a group celebration. On Sunday, December 6, the Bears host the Jacksonville Jaguars at noon at Soldier Field. For a group of 15, 25 or 40 fans, the usual plan of a line of cars, split parking passes and a few designated drivers falls apart fast. One bus keeps everyone together from the first pickup to the final drop-off.
The ride becomes part of the day. Music, lighting and room to move turn the trip into the pre-game, and nobody misses the tailgate to find parking. After the final whistle, the group boards the same vehicle and heads home, warm and together.

One meeting point works best
For a bus, the easiest plan is one pickup location, such as a park-and-meet lot, a restaurant parking lot or a home with room for a large vehicle. Multiple stops add time and make it harder to keep the group on schedule.
Confirm kickoff time
NFL times can change during the season. Check the official Chicago Bears schedule the week of the game.
The Early-December Tailgate
Dress for the lakefront
Early December on the lake is cold and windy. Bring layers, gloves and hand warmers. With a bus, you can step back inside to warm up between the tailgate and kickoff.
Bring supplies
Coolers, chairs and food ride with the group, and coach buses have storage underneath.
Follow the stadium’s rules
Lot access, bus staging and tailgating follow Soldier Field’s game-day policies. Check current rules and the bag policy on the official Soldier Field website.
Drinks on board
Guests 21 and older may bring their own beverages in eligible vehicles, subject to Illinois law and the provider’s policies. Confirm the details in your quote.
After the Final Whistle
Agree on a meeting point
Before kickoff, agree on where and when the group meets the bus after the game.
Name a group lead
One person stays in touch with the driver and does the headcount before departure.
A short wait often means a faster trip home
Post-game traffic around Museum Campus is heaviest in the first 30–45 minutes after the game. A short wait often gets everyone home sooner.
Everyone home together
With a noon kickoff, most western suburban groups are home by late afternoon or early evening.
