BUS Antenna placement

Your two choices seem to be a crap antenna mounted in a good location (the three footer on the roof) or a better antenna/antennas in a crap location (anything hung off the side/sides). Either way you're going to be far from optimal.

I would probably lean towards the dual five foot fiberglass antennas that Robb suggested, especially if your locals are spread over any significant area. If mirror mounts won't work a similar setup could be done with two ball mounts. If by locals you mean the other buses in the stadium parking lot you may get by with a three footer on the roof. In the end you really won't know until you try.
