Banditland Is Getting Ready To Take Over Downtown Buffalo

Once again, downtown Buffalo is poised to be the center of attention in the sports world as the two-time, back-to-back, defending National Lacrosse League Champion Buffalo Bandits get ready to take on the Saskatchewan Rush in Game One.

The NLL Championship is best of 3 series that will see the Bandits hosting games one and three if it goes that far. As the defending champions, the Bandits have been the team to beat this season while also holding firmly to the number one seed in the playoff ranking. As the team is preparing to take on the Rush, the Bandits have planned a huge party that is set to take place on Friday, May 16, 2025, before the game start.

In an effort to make sure Banditland feels at home in downtown Buffalo, the team has done something at Canalside that no one else has done so far.

Buffalo Bandits Debut Huge Painted Logo In Downtown Buffalo

Sitting on the lawn at Canalside, right in front of the LECOM Harborcenter, is a huge panted mural of the Bandits Logo.

More than 19,000 Buffalo fans will be on hand to cheer on Rax and the team as they compete in their fifth-straight NLL Finals series.

If the Bandits win game one on Friday, May 16th, it will mean the team is one more step closer to its third straight NLL Title, giving the team a total of 7 since they started playing in 1992.

Limited single-seat tickets to the game were still available at the KeyBank Center Box Office and online via Ticketmaster.

Let's Go, Bandits.
