Best Fans In The Country

Buffalo is one of the best and most admired sports cities in America. Fandom in Buffalo is not just a hobby – it’s a way of life. ​ The term “Go Bills” is not just a cheer for a sports team – it’s a suitable substitution for “hello”, “goodbye”, and more. The energy in our stadiums (and parking lots prior to the game) is unparalleled. And the enduring loyalty – win or loss; rain, snow or shine; four straight Super Bowls or 17-year playoff drought – is what makes Buffalo and its people so special. That special feeling also shows itself in our charitable giving, with millions of dollars having been donated to deserving charities surrounding our athletes and even our rivals. Whether you were born into it with a Buffalo Sabres onesie at the hospital or converted as a transplant, there’s room for you on the Buffalo sports bandwagon.

Buffalo is home to the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League, Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League, Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League, as well as the Buffalo Bisons a minor league baseball affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Buffalo Beauts, a founding franchise of the Premier Hockey Federation, formerly known as the National Women’s Hockey League.

In addition, women’s and men’s collegiate teams from the University at Buffalo, St. Bonaventure University, Niagara University, and Canisius College are among the local competitors in football, basketball, and hockey that keep sports enthusiasts rooting along all year, often including in the March Madness tournaments.
