Backstory:

It will be interesting to hear how this shakes out given the city of Buffalo *probably* doesn’t want to venture in the arena owning business.

My guess is they'll announce Pegula is buying the stadium with some degree of KeyBank involvement

The Sabres will move games to the Northtown Center at Amherst before Pegula spends another dime on the team.

I hope this also would include a massive renovation to update the building

Nah, they’re gonna raze KBC and Pegula will insist on an open-air hockey arena.

The Sabres will be moving their games to old Highmark (Rich Stadium) since the Bills won’t be using it after this upcoming season.

Well, we know the county wants out of the business of owning the arena.  So that's probably a good starting point.

Pegula will insist on a publicly-funded multisport/concert venue with state of the art luxury boxes to “stay competitive” as though he didn’t shave $50M in Sabres player expenses since COVID hit.

Woe is us, we need a new vEEEnue!
