Korine SpeedFebruary 17, 2018Love watching sabres games here. Security guards are great and friendly. It is becoming such a great areaUpvoted 2 weeks ago- John DenzMay 30, 2013It's better if you park at M&T near Chippewa and Washington (only $3 to park) and take the train all the way to the rink for free!
Maki SJanuary 23, 2016Although the Sabres are not doing well for the last few seasons, I can feel love from their fans! I love the atmosphere of the arena. I hope they will become a Champion in the near future!

Sabres games are the best! Free advice - food and drink can get pricy here. Come for the Sabres game, but have dinner elsewhere. Parking gets expensive too - use the light rail.
People say it’s getting old but still feels new to me. Pricey tix but a great venue for the Sabres.
ExperienceJune 17, 2014Seat upgrades and exclusive VIP experiences are now available at First Niagara Center. Upgrading is fast, easy, and fun! Just visit
Now serving Sam Adams Seasonal and Boston Lager on the 100 level near aisle 22 for Sabres games.. Visit Lisa the beer chick there (she is hot).. Tip her well!
Sean GrathwolApril 18, 2015Concerts, games, and more! This place is always exciting especially for sports
JonDecember 25, 2014Not a bad seat in the house and easy to navigate. Now only if the team played well...
Steve HovingtonDecember 4, 2014Did you know? Opened September 21, 1996 as Marine Midland Arena. Name changed August 25, 2011 to First Niagara Center.
- Wish they had more healthful food at both the Sabres and Bandits game. The food is so expensive; guess I wouldn't mind so much if it tasted better!
GO SABRES!!! Go get a steak sandwich or a chicken finger sub. Aisle seats are better so you can sneak to the bathroom easier. Stay away from the team store. EXPENSIVE!
Buffalo SabresSeptember 28, 2011Make sure to check into the Buffalo Sabres Store while you are at the First NIagara Center! Read more- If sitting in the 100's check out the new food stands near sect 118. Fresh cut French fries at the Burger Stand!
Will be a cook for the upcoming Hockey season! Cant wait....... :-)
Don't buy the pizza logs in the 200s it's $9 for only 3 of them!!!!!!!!
Jenifer WilliamsMarch 23, 2016The events here are usually ok but be careful bcuz they may ask to look thru your bags.
Social YeahOctober 20, 2011Now on it's third "official" name, First Niagara Center was once HSBC Arena & Marine Midland Arena.. Who's been to a Sabres game at all three?
Thom KayeNovember 20, 2013Dude that flies the Subway blimp at the Sabres games has skills. #holdmybeer
- Head over to the Cobblestone Bar (on South Park behind the arena) before and after all Arena events
Sit on the glass at least once in your life... Amazing!
Nachos Supreme at the Caliente-something stand (100 level, near escalators) = the BEST!- Steve HovingtonDecember 4, 2014Did you know? First Hockey Game: Sabres vs. Toronto September 21, 1996 (Pre-Season)
