The FerryHawks play in a ballpark where the view past the outfield wall is New York Harbor — cargo ships, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in the distance, and Lower Manhattan lit up across the water, all from the seats at 75 Richmond Terrace on the St. George waterfront. It is one of the best-positioned stadiums in the five boroughs. It is also, for any group trying to coordinate 20 or 30 people for a game night, a venue where the transportation math comes into focus quickly.
The Empire Outlets garage across Richmond Terrace charges $10 per car on game nights and sells out on busy evenings. The Staten Island Ferry runs every 30 minutes off-peak, and post-game the St. George waterfront has 7,100-plus fans all converging toward the same pier at the same time. A Staten Island party bus rental to SIUH Community Park cuts through all of it — one vehicle, one pickup spot, the bus positioned on Richmond Terrace when the last out is recorded, no ferry cycle to chase.

No account required, no obligation. For a broader look at group transportation to games and events across the borough, see the Staten Island sporting event transportation page.
Why Rent a Bus to SIUH Community Park Instead of Driving?
The case against driving a group to SIUH Community Park is mostly math. The Empire Outlets Parking Garage — entered at Wall Street and Richmond Terrace, directly across from the first-base side of the ballpark — charges $10 per vehicle for FerryHawks home games, per the official FerryHawks parking page. Advance purchase is strongly encouraged because the garage's spaces sell out on peak nights.
A group of 30 people arriving in six cars pays $60 in parking before anyone buys a ticket, and that assumes each car finds a spot in the same garage rather than spreading across the municipal lots near the ferry terminal. One 35-passenger minibus fits the same group, drops everyone at the Richmond Terrace gate, and parks as one unit — one arrangement instead of six.
The post-game situation is where the bus earns its keep most clearly. When SIUH Community Park empties — typically 9:30 to 10:30 PM on a weeknight — the roughly 7,100-seat capacity fans out onto Richmond Terrace and the St. George waterfront at once. Groups relying on the Staten Island Ferry find that the boat runs every 30 minutes off-peak, per the official schedule.
Miss the departure by five minutes and everyone waits on the pier for a full cycle. Groups relying on rideshare find post-game surge pricing and multiple ETAs pulling the group apart. With a charter bus or party bus staged nearby on Richmond Terrace during the game, the exit is a walk and a board — the vehicle is right there, the group leaves together, and the route goes wherever everyone started: Bay Ridge, Jersey City, the North Shore, Tottenville.
The built-in designated driver handles the return trip while the group recaps the game.
Driving a group to SIUH Community Park in six cars costs $60 in parking before the first inning, plus tolls on the Verrazano or Goethals, plus a coordinated post-game exit from a waterfront street that temporarily has the entire stadium on it. Divide one charter bus cost across 30 people and the per-head number often lands close to what everyone would have spent in parking and gas alone — without the scramble.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at SIUH Community Park
SIUH Community Park is built with a sunken-design field that puts the street-level entry directly on Richmond Terrace — you walk in from the sidewalk rather than climbing to an elevated concourse. The ballpark's Richmond Terrace entrance is the one that stays open during events. That makes commercial vehicle drop-off at this venue unusually straightforward: Richmond Terrace runs along the entire front of the ballpark, and the nearest MTA bus stop — served by the S40 and S44 lines — sits just 40 yards from the ballpark entrance at Richmond Terr/Wall St. Charter buses drop off directly at the ballpark's front entrance, on the same street, without a long approach walk on the other side of a parking structure.
During the game, the bus holds nearby in the St. George waterfront area — Richmond Terrace and the surrounding streets give commercial vehicles room to stage while the group is inside. Set a clear post-game pickup window before your group splits up to enter, because the no re-entry policy at SIUH Community Park means the whole group comes out together at the end — which is exactly when you want the bus already positioned rather than navigating back through post-game foot traffic. For specific commercial vehicle staging questions on your game date, check the official FerryHawks ballpark information before your visit.
Parking at SIUH Community Park: What Group Planners Need to Know
The primary game-night parking option is the Empire Outlets Parking Garage, with entry at Wall Street and Richmond Terrace — directly across from the first-base side of the ballpark. For FerryHawks home games, the garage charges $10 per vehicle. Valet parking at the stadium is also available at $20 per vehicle.
Both options can be reserved through the team's parking portal, and advance purchase is recommended — the garage holds 1,250 vehicles but fills faster than first-timers expect on promoted nights and weekend dates. The official Empire Outlets plan-your-visit page has current parking details and can be bookmarked for a quick check before game day. DOT municipal lots also exist near the St. George Ferry Terminal, but they carry no game-night guarantee and are smaller than the Empire Outlets structure.
For group planners doing the arithmetic: five cars at $10 is $50 before the first pitch, and those five cars park in separate levels and exit through the same Richmond Terrace that the rest of the stadium is also using. Post-game coordination across multiple vehicles — who goes first, where do we meet, did everyone get out of the garage — costs time and energy that a bus removes entirely. A single 35-passenger minibus drops and retrieves the group from one spot, and the parking cost is one arrangement rather than five.
Empire Outlets Parking Garage: enter at Wall Street and Richmond Terrace, $10 per vehicle for FerryHawks games, advance purchase recommended. Valet is $20 per vehicle. Review the official FerryHawks parking page before your visit for current availability and any event-night adjustments.
Getting Your Group to SIUH Community Park: Routes, Bridges, and I-278
SIUH Community Park sits at the northeastern tip of Staten Island in the St. George neighborhood, which means every driving approach eventually feeds into Richmond Terrace along the North Shore. The four main bridge routes into the borough, per the official FerryHawks directions page:
Verrazano-Narrows Bridge from Brooklyn: Take I-278 West, the Staten Island Expressway, and follow it northwest toward the St. George waterfront, then onto Richmond Terrace — the ballpark is on your left. This is the most common approach for groups coming from Brooklyn, Bay Ridge, and South Brooklyn.
Goethals Bridge from central New Jersey: Continue on NY-440 North, transition through Gulf Avenue and Richmond Road, and follow signs to Richmond Terrace northbound. The ballpark will be on your right.
Bayonne Bridge from northern New Jersey: Take NY-440 North, transition through Gulf Avenue and Richmond Road to Richmond Terrace — destination on the left. This is the shortest bridge crossing by distance from the Jersey side, making it a natural origin point for groups starting in Bayonne, Jersey City, or Newark.
Outerbridge Crossing from southern New Jersey: Follow NJ-440 North, then transition through Richmond Avenue and Forest Avenue to Richmond Terrace, destination on the right — a longer cross-island approach but the right bridge for groups starting south of Elizabeth.
I-278 — the Staten Island Expressway — is the main artery from Brooklyn and carries significant congestion on weekday evenings and Friday nights. For a group in multiple cars, that means every car managing the same backup independently and trying to regroup near the ballpark after. For a group on one charter bus, it means one vehicle on that same road — the group rides together, and the approach to St. George is somebody else's job.
The Staten Island Ferry Factor: Post-Game Timing at SIUH Community Park
The Staten Island Ferry is free, runs 24 hours a day, and departs from a terminal that sits a 5-minute walk from SIUH Community Park — which is why many groups arriving from Manhattan make the ferry their pre-game plan, and it works well in that direction. Take the subway to Whitehall Street–South Ferry, walk on the boat, 25 minutes across the harbor, step off at St. George Terminal, walk five minutes along Richmond Terrace past the Empire Outlets, and you are at the ballpark. The official ferry schedule shows departures every 15 to 30 minutes during rush hours and every 30 minutes during off-peak periods, with the full 24-hour service running seven days a week.
Post-game is the calculation that changes things. When the final out clears the field at 9:30 or 10 PM, everyone in the 7,171-seat ballpark is walking toward the same St. George Terminal pier at the same time. The next ferry may depart in 28 minutes or in three — there is no controlling which.
Miss it with a group of 25 and you wait on the pier for the next 30-minute cycle while the crowd thins around you. For groups that started their night in Brooklyn, New Jersey, or the interior of Staten Island rather than from Manhattan, the ferry is not even a return option — which means coordinating six separate car pickups through the same post-game Richmond Terrace traffic that everyone else is navigating. A charter bus or party bus staged nearby during the game removes both problems.
Set the pickup window before you go in, walk out to the bus when the game ends, and the route goes wherever the group started. No ferry schedule to race, no cars to coordinate, no rideshare surge at 10:15 PM in St. George.
What Size Bus Does Your SIUH Community Park Group Need?
The right vehicle comes down to headcount and where the trip is starting. Partybusrentalstatenisland.com connects you to a wide range of options through a large network of bus companies serving Staten Island, so you compare vehicles and prices instead of committing to the first thing that fits. Here is how the full vehicle lineup breaks down for a FerryHawks game night at SIUH Community Park.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15–35 passenger minibus | Up to 35 | Workplace outings, school trips, mid-size fan groups | Reclining seats, powerful A/C, overhead storage, greater maneuverability on waterfront streets |
| Party bus (15–50 passengers) | 15–50 | Birthday groups, celebrations, bachelorette nights at the ballpark | LED lighting, premium sound system, flat-panel TVs, perimeter seating |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large community group outings, corporate events, multi-pickup itineraries from NJ and Brooklyn | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage bins, undercarriage bays, onboard restroom |
For most FerryHawks group outings of 20 to 35 people, a 15-35 passenger minibus handles the group comfortably and navigates Richmond Terrace and the tight St. George waterfront streets without the footprint of a full coach. For larger community organization trips or corporate outings of 40 or more — particularly those pulling people from multiple pickup points across Brooklyn, New Jersey, or the South Shore — the 40-56 passenger charter bus gives you the undercarriage bays and an onboard restroom for the longer rides home after a night game. ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; note the requirement when you request your quote.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Rental Prices for SIUH Community Park Trips
Pricing for a Staten Island charter bus or party bus rental to SIUH Community Park moves with the vehicle size, the number of hours reserved, the date, and where the trip originates. To give you a planning sense: a 15-35 passenger minibus typically runs $200–$275 per hour on weekends and $200–$250 per hour on weekdays. A 40-56 passenger charter bus comes in at roughly $200–$350 per hour on either day type.
A 25-passenger party bus runs about $275–$375 per hour on weekends. These are example planning ranges — the actual number for your date, group size, and pickup location comes from comparing quotes, which takes under 30 seconds through the online tool or about a minute by calling 929-384-1505.
One figure worth running before the vehicle decision: the Empire Outlets garage charges $10 per car for game nights, and a group of 30 in five or six vehicles is looking at $50–$60 in parking before anyone pays for a ticket or a hot dog. Per-person, the gap between driving and busing tends to be narrower than most groups expect once you account for parking, tolls, and gas across multiple vehicles. Check the Staten Island party bus prices page for a fuller breakdown of current planning ranges by vehicle type.
A Game-Night Example
To give you an idea: a workplace group of 28 people books a 28-passenger party bus for a Friday FerryHawks game against the Long Island Ducks. Pickup at 5:30 PM from a corporate office in St. George, at the Richmond Terrace entrance by 5:45 PM — gates open at 6:05 PM, one hour before first pitch. The bus holds nearby during the game.
Post-game pickup window set for 10:00 PM, and the group boards directly from Richmond Terrace for the ride back. A four-and-a-half-hour rental at that vehicle size runs roughly $1,240–$1,688 — about $44–$60 per person for the entire round-trip, with the parking scramble and the 30-minute ferry window both removed.
FerryHawks Game Nights Worth Planning Around in 2026
The FerryHawks play a 126-game Atlantic League schedule with home games at SIUH Community Park running from April through September. The team competes in the North Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball alongside the Long Island Ducks, Lancaster Stormers, York Revolution, and Hagerstown Flying Boxcars. The 2026 home schedule features a consistent run of weeknight and weekend games, anchored by a promotion calendar that gives group planners a reason to pick specific dates:
Post-game fireworks nights are the single most group-friendly dates on the calendar and consistently draw larger crowds — the Empire Outlets garage fills faster on those evenings, so advance parking purchase matters more than usual. Single-admission doubleheaders on June 11, June 24, and August 8 run longer than a standard game, which changes your pickup window planning if the bus is staging during the game. Themed promotion nights — Star Wars Night, Hispanic Heritage Night, Italian Heritage Night, Irish Heritage Night, Jewish Heritage Night, Military Appreciation Day, Albanian Heritage Night, Bark in the Park, and Faith & Family Night — pull different community groups and tend to book up on the group ticket side faster than the regular schedule.
For opening weekend, the team offered $5 tickets in select sections; check for comparable promotions as the season progresses.
The FerryHawks offer group pricing for 10 or more people: $13 per ticket for groups of 10–49, $12 per ticket for groups of 50–149, and $10 per ticket for groups of 150 or more, per the official group outings page. Groups can reach the team's group sales team at GroupTickets@FerryHawks.com to reserve seating. Pairing the group ticket discount with a bus rental is a clean way to handle both the transportation and the tickets through two straightforward calls.
For the biggest promotional nights — fireworks, Star Wars, and late-August dates — book the bus at least four to six weeks out. Summer weekends in the network fill faster than weeknight games, and the right vehicle for a 40-person group goes sooner than most planners expect.
Types of Group Trips Booked to SIUH Community Park
The FerryHawks' community-event calendar and the ballpark's waterfront setting pull in a broader range of group types than a typical independent-league venue. These are the trips most commonly arranged through Partybusrentalstatenisland.com for SIUH Community Park game nights:
- Corporate and workplace outings. Staten Island employers and Manhattan companies shuttle staff across for a team night at the waterfront ballpark — the FerryHawks offer suite access and group seating in premium sections for corporate parties, and a Staten Island corporate event charter bus handles the round-trip so nobody owns a parking headache at the end of the night. Groups originating in Manhattan can coordinate a ferry arrival and a bus pickup after the game — or start and end the whole trip on one vehicle from the office.
- Birthday and milestone groups. A game at one of New York's most scenic ballparks is a natural milestone-birthday setting. A party bus out of Brooklyn or the North Shore, a group night at SIUH Community Park with harbor views, and a post-game ride home — see Staten Island birthday bus rental for more on this trip structure.
- School and community organization trips. The FerryHawks list school trips as a group outing category on their website, and a Staten Island school event bus rental keeps students together on Richmond Terrace rather than scattered across the Empire Outlets garage. Wagner College also uses SIUH Community Park as its home baseball venue, making the ballpark familiar territory for college group outings as well.
- Fan groups from Brooklyn, New Jersey, and outer-borough pickups. For groups that don't start the night from Manhattan — Bay Ridge groups crossing the Verrazano, Bayonne or Jersey City groups coming over the Goethals or Bayonne Bridge — a bus collects everyone from a single address, crosses into Staten Island, and drops at the Richmond Terrace gate. The return trip is already handled without anyone negotiating which car goes first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at SIUH Community Park?
SIUH Community Park sits directly on Richmond Terrace at number 75, with street-level entry because of the ballpark's sunken design. Commercial vehicles drop off on Richmond Terrace, right at the front of the venue — the same street served by the MTA S40 and S44 bus routes, with the Richmond Terr/Wall St stop just 40 yards from the ballpark entrance. The Richmond Terrace gates are the ones open during events.
For specific commercial vehicle staging questions on your date, confirm with the ballpark directly before game day.
Where does the bus wait during the game?
The bus can hold in the St. George waterfront area — Richmond Terrace and the nearby streets around the Empire Outlets footprint — while your group is inside. Set a clear post-game pickup window before the group enters the stadium, since the no re-entry policy means everyone comes out together at the end. Confirm the exact staging plan with the bus company when you book.
How much does parking cost at SIUH Community Park on game nights?
The Empire Outlets Parking Garage, entered at Wall Street and Richmond Terrace directly across from the first-base side, charges $10 per vehicle for FerryHawks home games. Valet parking at the stadium runs $20 per vehicle. Advance purchase is recommended; the garage's 1,250 spaces sell out on busy nights.
Check the official FerryHawks parking page before your visit for current booking links and any event-night updates.
How far is SIUH Community Park from the Staten Island Ferry terminal?
About 0.2 miles — a 5-minute walk along Richmond Terrace heading northwest from the St. George Terminal, past the Empire Outlets entrance. For groups arriving from Manhattan by ferry, it is a quick and easy walk. For groups exiting after a game, all 7,000-plus fans in the building are heading the same direction at the same time, which makes a bus staged on Richmond Terrace a meaningful upgrade over joining the pier queue for the next 30-minute departure cycle.
How often does the Staten Island Ferry run after a game?
Off-peak, the ferry runs every 30 minutes from St. George Terminal to Whitehall Terminal in Manhattan — 24 hours a day, seven days a week, per the official schedule. The crossing takes 25 minutes. The ferry is a great way to arrive from Manhattan for first pitch; as a post-game exit plan for a large group, the 30-minute cycle and the post-game crowd make timing unpredictable.
How does group ticket pricing work at the FerryHawks?
Groups of 10 or more qualify for discounted rates: $13 per ticket for groups of 10–49, $12 per ticket for groups of 50–149, and $10 per ticket for groups of 150 or more. Contact the team at GroupTickets@FerryHawks.com, or visit the group outings page for more details. Groups receive discounted rates, the opportunity to sit together in reserved sections, and access to group-exclusive experiences depending on the package.
Can a charter bus pick up from Brooklyn or New Jersey on the way to SIUH Community Park?
Yes. A bus originating in Brooklyn, Bay Ridge, or from across the Goethals or Bayonne bridges in New Jersey is a standard arrangement for FerryHawks group nights. The bus picks up everyone from one address, crosses into Staten Island, and drops at the Richmond Terrace gate.
The return reverses the route. Call 929-384-1505 or fill out the quick online form to get pricing for your specific pickup location and game date — takes about a minute.
What time do gates open at SIUH Community Park?
Gates open one hour before first pitch unless otherwise announced for special events, per the FerryHawks Ballpark A-Z guide. The box office opens four hours before first pitch on game days. If your group is arriving early by charter bus, factor that hour before gates open into your pickup schedule — the bus can stage on Richmond Terrace during the wait.
Note that SIUH Community Park has a strict no re-entry policy; once your group is inside, everyone stays until the game ends.
How far in advance should we book a bus for a FerryHawks game?
For most regular-season weeknight games, two to four weeks is workable. For fireworks nights, themed promotion evenings, and weekend games through July and August — when summer demand and the FerryHawks' event calendar align — book at least four to six weeks out. The group outing packages through the team fill on the same timeline.
Call 929-384-1505 as soon as your game date is confirmed to lock in the right vehicle.
What is the address and contact information for SIUH Community Park?
SIUH Community Park — 75 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301. Group tickets: GroupTickets@FerryHawks.com. The FerryHawks Ballpark A-Z page covers gate times, ticket policies, ADA access, and all other game-day policies in one place.
