As a native Marylander, I kept hearing that Buffalo was kind of a crap shoot. In my adult years I've made a number of trips up to go to games and I have loved it up there. This includes Buffalo and the surrounding suburbs (Orchard Park, Hamburg, etc.) Still don't know why so many people have given it such a bad review. Heck I feel much safer walking through downtown Buffalo late at night than I do walking through downtown Baltimore.
