Love watching sabres games here. Security guards are great and friendly. It is becoming such a great area

It'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!

Although 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.

Surrounding area is currently being developed. Parking is somewhat limited. Fans are very knowledgeable. If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Buffalo Sabres game, check out Read more

People say it’s getting old but still feels new to me. Pricey tix but a great venue for the Sabres.

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!
JonDecember 25, 2014
Not a bad seat in the house and easy to navigate. Now only if the team played well...
Jenifer WilliamsMarch 23, 2016
The events here are usually ok but be careful bcuz they may ask to look thru your bags.

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!

If sitting in the 100's check out the new food stands near sect 118. Fresh cut French fries at the Burger Stand!

Hockey, concerts, events, festivals. Take the subway to it.

Don't bother parking in the parking garage. Nowhere to park even if you have a permit. And you will never get out!

Now 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?
