The Buffalo Bandits won Game 3 of the National Lacrosse League (NLL) Championship on Saturday. It is their third consecutive NLL title.
While the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres are more well-known here in the city, the Bandits' fan base brings a level of excitement. A regular Bandits game has an energetic atmosphere. So, you can only imagine what a Championship game feels like. In this blog, we hope to capture that feeling.
Pregame Buzz and Anticipation
Outside KeyBank, it’s not just anticipation, it’s tradition.
Orange and Loud: The Crowd Inside
When the horn blasts, the roof lifts off the place.
As the crowd roared inside KeyBank Center, I couldn’t help but think of how public media plays a role in capturing this spirit—not just the game, but the pride, history, and passion of a city that shows up for its team.
Final Buzzer
The outcome mattered, but the memory mattered more.
Buffalo is built on resilience, loyalty, and love of the game. Nights like this remind you that it’s not just about scoring—it’s about showing up, again and again, together.
Whether it’s championship games, jazz nights at Kleinhans, or neighborhood poetry readings, public media gives our local voices a megaphone. This game was another chapter in Buffalo’s living story
