Fan Tips

KeyBank Center provides a classic hockey setting along Buffalo’s waterfront, serving as home to the Sabres.

Located in downtown Buffalo, the arena is accessible by car, rideshare, and light rail service.

The seating bowl offers a close-to-the-ice feel, contributing to a loud and engaged crowd.

Concessions include traditional fare along with Buffalo favorites like wings.

After the game, fans can explore nearby waterfront areas or downtown spots.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

Clutches no larger than 4"x6"x1.5" are allowed.  All large bags such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.  For more information or to view special event policies, please visit the stadium website.
