Written by the Wisconsin Limo Service dispatch team. Wisconsin Limo Service is a division of Pharaoh’s Transportation, Milwaukee’s top-rated limo company with a 4.9 rating from 302 Google reviews: same office, same dispatch team, same background-checked, licensed and insured chauffeurs.
Quick answer: Game day crosses state lines in this part of the country. Chicago, the suburbs and Northwest Indiana send fans north to Lambeau Field, Camp Randall and Fiserv Forum; Wisconsin sends fans south to Soldier Field, the United Center, Wrigley and Notre Dame. Wisconsin Limo Service runs all of it in both directions as chauffeured round trips: door pickup, stadium drop-off, a staged pickup at the final whistle, and home the same night or the next morning. Vehicles fit 3 to 14, pairs cover bigger groups. Reserve online or call or text (608) 904-2660.
Which direction is your game day?
Tell us the pickup city, the stadium and kickoff. We confirm the vehicle and the round-trip rate before you ride.
Key takeaways
- One company, both directions: Illinois and Indiana to Wisconsin stadiums, and Wisconsin to Chicago and Indiana stadiums.
- Every suburb and every Wisconsin city is a door pickup; plan by headcount and kickoff, not by distance.
- South Bend runs an hour ahead of Chicago and Wisconsin; confirm every time in one zone.
- Rivalry, Notre Dame and holiday dates fill the Sprinters first.
Northbound: Illinois and Indiana to Wisconsin stadiums
| Pickup area | To Lambeau Field (Green Bay) | To Camp Randall (Madison) | To Fiserv Forum (Milwaukee) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chicago downtown and the North Shore | About 3.5 to 4 hours | About 2.5 to 3 hours | About 1.5 to 2 hours |
| Western suburbs (Naperville, Oak Brook, Schaumburg) | About 4 hours | About 2.5 to 3 hours | About 2 hours |
| South suburbs (Orland Park, Tinley Park, Joliet) | About 4 to 4.5 hours | About 3 to 3.5 hours | About 2 to 2.5 hours |
| Northwest Indiana (Hammond, Gary, Merrillville, Valparaiso) | About 4.5 hours | About 3.5 hours | About 2.5 hours |
Northbound trips are full-day charters with a dedicated chauffeur. For the stadium itself, read the Lambeau rivalry guide and the Packers game day guide; for Madison see the Badgers game day guide; for Milwaukee see limo service to Fiserv Forum. Many Chicago groups stay overnight in Green Bay or the Fox Valley and ride back the next morning; dispatch books both legs.
Southbound: Wisconsin to Chicago and Indiana stadiums
| Pickup area | To Soldier Field, United Center, Wrigley | To Notre Dame Stadium (South Bend) |
|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee and Waukesha | About 1.5 to 2 hours | About 3 hours |
| Kenosha and Racine | About 1 to 1.5 hours | About 2.5 hours |
| Madison | About 2.5 to 3 hours | About 4 hours |
| Green Bay, Appleton, Fox Valley | About 3.5 to 4 hours | About 5 hours; often an overnight |
For the Chicago game itself, read Packers at Soldier Field from Wisconsin. Notre Dame is covered below because the time zone and the campus change the plan.
Notre Dame: the one with a time zone
South Bend is on Eastern Time, one hour ahead of Wisconsin and Chicago. A 3:30 kickoff in South Bend is 2:30 at home. Dispatch quotes every pickup and meeting time in one zone and writes it on the confirmation. Campus traffic closes streets on home weekends, so the chauffeur drops at a designated point and stages outside the closure for the pickup. Fox Valley and Madison groups usually make it an overnight; Milwaukee and Kenosha groups do it in a day. Longer runs fall under long-distance limo service.

Frequently asked questions
Do you pick up in Chicago for a Packers game at Lambeau?
Yes. Downtown Chicago, the North Shore, the western and southern suburbs and Northwest Indiana are regular pickups for Lambeau. The run is 3.5 to 4.5 hours each way, so it is planned as a full-day round trip with a dedicated chauffeur.
Can you take us from Wisconsin to a Notre Dame game?
Yes. Milwaukee to South Bend is about 3 hours and Madison about 4. South Bend is on Eastern Time, one hour ahead of Wisconsin and Chicago, so we confirm every time in one zone.
Which Chicago suburbs do you serve?
All of them. Naperville, Schaumburg, Oak Brook, Evanston, Arlington Heights, Orland Park, Tinley Park and the rest; tell dispatch the address and we plan the pickup.
Do you cover Northwest Indiana?
Yes. Hammond, Gary, Merrillville, Crown Point, Valparaiso and Michigan City riders are picked up at the door for Wisconsin and Chicago games.
Is the ride the same price in both directions?
Pricing is per vehicle and per time, so a Chicago-to-Lambeau trip and a Milwaukee-to-Soldier Field trip are each quoted for their own distance and hours. Rates are confirmed in writing before you ride.
Can we do a game in Green Bay and stay overnight?
Yes. Many Chicago groups stay in Green Bay or the Fox Valley and ride back the next morning. Tell dispatch the hotel and we schedule both legs.
What vehicles do you use for game days?
Sedans for 3, SUVs for 6, Sprinter vans for up to 14 and stretch limousines for 8 to 20, with coordinated pairs for larger groups.
How early do we leave for Lambeau from Chicago?
For a noon kickoff, most groups leave the city between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. to allow for the drive, a stop and the stadium approach. Dispatch sets the time for your pickup point.
Can you add a stop at a bar, restaurant or hotel?
Yes. Pre-game stops in Milwaukee, the Loop, South Bend or the Fox Valley are common. Add it when you reserve so the timing works.
Do you serve Camp Randall and Fiserv Forum from Illinois?
Yes. Madison for Badgers games and Milwaukee for the Bucks, Brewers and concerts are regular runs from Chicago and the suburbs.
Are you licensed to run between Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana?
Wisconsin Limo Service is a division of Pharaoh’s Transportation of Milwaukee, rated 4.9 on Google from 302 reviews, which runs interstate trips year-round with background-checked, licensed and insured chauffeurs. Confirm your route with dispatch when you reserve.
