Enterprising fans can benefit from City of Buffalo’s laziness
This is pretty cool
For those Sabres fans yearning to relive the glory days of the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, which shut down in 1996, it turns out all you need is a crowbar and the cover of night.
Last fall, three guys had the bright idea to break into the Aud and take a bunch of pictures, and what they found was pretty awesome. Nearly everything was intact, from board advertisements with old corporate logos (who remembers the Tostitos Cowboy?) to hand-done boards showing the team scoring race through 63 games. Steve Nichol had 14 goals and 32 points in 55 that year.
Want to know how long it’s been since 1996? A large beer was $4.25! You can still get your tickets to that Hartford game on April 4, too.
Go ahead and click through all the pictures. They’re really awesome.
