I am trying to convince my wife that we should go to buffalo this year for vacation.  I really want to see the Sabres play at home as every time I have seen them I was an away fan and flyers fans aren't the most welcoming  However I am trying to take a train to buffalo so I dont need to drive since it's about 7 hours and I don't fly.  Is the area around the stadium nice and safe? Is there a decent and safe hotel within walking distance of the stadium?   If we stayed by the stadium
