Looks like a good crowd expected. They only sold the lower bowl but TM shows only a few tickets left.

Why are they playing this game in Buffalo? Promote the women's league? Is Buffalo going to get a team?

No idea but that would be a good guess.

Buffalo certainly would be a good market if the product is worthy, entertaining and reasonably priced. The Bandits demonstrate that. The arena is usually filled with a raucous crowd supporting their competitive team. I'm hoping that in the not-too-distant future the arena will be filled with avid hockey fans rooting on a serious team. I'm hoping that Terry P recognizes that and demonstrates more urgency with his hockey franchise. My understanding is that last night's game was at capacity. That's a positive sign.

After 2 weeks off folks were a little hungry for hockey.
