Spectator Sports in Buffalo, NY

Buffalo residents are incredibly passionate about their hockey and football teams -- the NFL's Buffalo Bills sold out every game of the 2008-09 season, despite not making it to the playoffs since 1994. They hit the gridiron just outside the city in Ralph Wilson Stadium at 1 Bills Dr., Orchard Park (tel. 716/649-0015; www.buffalobills.com). The NHL's Sabres play downtown at the HSBC Center, 1 Seymour H. Knox III Plaza (tel. 888/GO-SABRES; www.sabres.com).
