Sabres Will Host Tailgating Tent Party Prior To All Home Games

The Sabres said that they will "host a 'tailgate tent party' in the plaza area adjacent to First Niagara Center" prior to their games, according to James Fink of BUSINESS FIRST OF BUFFALO. The tailgates will be presented by Labatt Blue Light. The Sabres "constructed a 3,200-square-foot tent that will be heated in the winter months." Live music will be "presented in the tent as will other Sabres-related special events." The official grand opening will take place before Saturday's game against the Panthers. The tent will open at 5:00pm ET and "will remain open until the start of every home game." Tickets will be "required to enter the pregame parties." Fans attending the game can "purchase $10 standalone tickets or opt to buy a special ticket package for $55, which includes a 300 Level-II game ticket and admission to the tent." Access to the tent parties will be "restricted to fans" who are 21 or older. The admission ticket "includes a coupon for one beverage" (BIZJOURNALS.com, 10/27).
