KeyBank Center Expansion Forces Buffalo Sports HOF To Relocate

The Greater Buffalo Sports HOF will have to relocate, as KeyBank Center's expansion of the Sabres Store will be "pushing into space the arena once provided" for the HOF's displays, according to Samantha Christmann of the BUFFALO NEWS. Buffalo Sports HOF President Tom Koller said, "The Sabres had indicated they would like us to move out when their season ended. Unfortunately, they didn't make the playoffs, so that came quicker than we thought it would." Koller said that until the HOF finds a "new, permanent space, which will likely take months," its "artifacts are in limbo." In the meantime, the arena will "allow the museum to keep its exhibits in a storage space on site." A limited collection of artifacts are on "temporary display in a room at Sahlen Field," home of the Triple-A Int'l League Buffalo Bisons. A temporary museum "will be open" during Bisons' home games "through late August" (BUFFALO NEWS, 5/28).
