Congrats, Bandits!!

Dhane Smith sets team single-season records for most goals and most points.

 

Also, the Buffalo 716ers won the first pro basketball playoff game played in Buffalo in nearly 40 years.

now if our other sports were as good as the bandits

It's a pity people don't give the Bandits more recognition for what they've done over the years.

just not popular enough of a sport

The Bandits had more that 17,000 people at the game against Rochester. Buffalo is usually at the top or near the top of the attendance rankings.

that really isn't a lot, maybe if sportnetworks start showing them more like soccer than maybe more people will start paying attention.

The seating capacity at the arena is approximately 18,600. In my view that is a good crowd for indoor lacrosse.

The more events that happen at the arena will have the spillover effect of bringing more people downtown and near the waterfront. This once barren area is now a very active area that is not only bringing in people to socialize but also being a place where people want to live. What is impressive about what is going at that location is not the dramatic increase in development but the steady and consistent level of development leading to further development. That is a more sustainable approach to building up that area. Or another way of saying it is that is organic growth.
