Why Book a Bears vs Buccaneers Limo Service?

Going to Sunday Night Football? Call (708) 998-6336 or book online. Hourly rentals start at $80/hour.

Quick Answer: A Bears vs Buccaneers limo service gets your group to Soldier Field for the Sunday Night Football game on November 8 at 7:20 p.m. without parking, a designated driver or a late, cold drive home. Your chauffeur picks you up in the suburbs, drops you near the stadium and meets you after the game. From Orland Park or Tinley Park, plan 40–60 minutes. To tailgate, most south suburban groups leave around 3:30–4:30 p.m.

A Bears vs Buccaneers limo service makes the November 8 Sunday night game the easy part of the weekend. Prime-time football at Soldier Field brings a full stadium, a national TV audience and a long night on the lakefront. The game starts after dark, ends late, and finishes on a cold November night, with work the next morning.

That’s exactly when a chauffeur pays off. Your group rides together, enjoys the tailgate and the game, and heads home warm, while someone else handles the post-game traffic on DuSable Lake Shore Drive and the expressways back to the suburbs.

As a Chicago limo service serving the city and suburbs, we drive Bears fans to Soldier Field all season. This guide covers the Sunday night game specifically: timing, the tailgate, the late ride home and how to choose the right vehicle. For general game-day planning, see our limo to Soldier Field guide.

What Makes a Sunday Night Game Different

It’s dark and cold

The clocks fall back on November 1, so by the Sunday night game, the sun sets in the late afternoon. Expect cold temperatures and wind off Lake Michigan for most of the evening.

A long day

A 7:20 p.m. kickoff with a tailgate means leaving home in the afternoon and getting back late at night. With a chauffeur, nobody has to drive at the end of a long day.

Prime-time crowds

National TV games bring full crowds and a big-game atmosphere. Book early, because prime-time games fill vehicles fast.

Monday morning is coming

Getting home safely and on time matters more on a Sunday night. Your chauffeur is already waiting when the game ends.

Planning Your Game Night

When to leave

• Tailgating: arrive about 2.5 hours before kickoff, around 4:45 p.m.
• Straight to your seats: arrive about 60–90 minutes before kickoff, around 6:00 p.m.

Typical drive times to Soldier Field

On a Sunday afternoon, traffic is lighter than on a weekday, but it builds near Museum Campus before kickoff:

• Downtown and the Loop: about 10–20 minutes
• Oak Lawn and Palos: about 30–45 minutes
• Orland Park and Tinley Park: about 40–60 minutes
• Frankfort and New Lenox: about 45–65 minutes
• Naperville and Oak Brook: about 40–60 minutes

Your chauffeur chooses the best route in real time.

Pick one meeting point

For groups, the easiest plan is one pickup spot, such as a home or a restaurant parking lot. Several pickups across the suburbs add time.

Confirm kickoff time

NFL night games can be flexed, so confirm the time on the official Chicago Bears schedule the week of the game.

The Night Tailgate

Plan for the cold

A November night tailgate is cold. Bring layers, gloves and hand warmers, and keep a warm vehicle nearby to duck into between the tailgate and kickoff.

Keep it simple

Food that’s easy to serve and drinks that stay warm, like coffee or cocoa, work best on a cold night. Coolers and chairs ride with you.

Follow the stadium’s rules

Lot access 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 our policies.

The Late Ride Home

Agree on a pickup spot

Before kickoff, agree on a meeting point away from the busiest exits around Museum Campus.

Text when you’re leaving

Text your chauffeur as you leave your seats. We move into position while the crowd clears.

A short wait can mean a faster trip

Post-game traffic is heaviest in the first 30–45 minutes after the final whistle. A little patience often gets you home sooner.

Get home safely

A Sunday night game often ends after 10:30 p.m. Your chauffeur gets everyone home, so nobody drives after a long day. See our guide to night-out safe rides home.

Great Groups for a Sunday Night Game

A Sprinter or party bus keeps your crew together from the tailgate to the ride home.

How Much Does a Bears vs Buccaneers Limo Service Cost?

Game nights are booked as hourly limo rentals. Rates start at $80/hour for an executive sedan, and SUVs, Sprinters, party buses and the Stretch Hummer are priced higher. Your total depends on:

• Vehicle: a sedan, SUV, Sprinter, party bus or Stretch Hummer.
• Hours: a Sunday night game with a tailgate usually runs 7–9 hours from the south suburbs.
• Pickup location: downtown pickups need fewer hours than far-suburban pickups.
• The game: prime-time games book up first.

Every quote is flat or transparent hourly, with no surge or hidden fees. See our Chicago limo pricing page, or call dispatch for an exact quote.
