Once you live outside of WNY you realize just how small the Buffalo area really is. Be glad you have two major sports franchises. Theres no way it could support a Major League Baseball team. No way. 

 

It's too bad because a Buffalo baseball team could have a great rivalry with the Blue Jays. I am guessing that WNY is Yankees territory when it comes to baseball.

Lots of Red Socks fans too. Basically there’s 3 fans in MLB. Yankees, Sox, and everyone else.

It's actually more Cleveland Indians , Red Sox and reds fans 

 

Sure there are Yankees fans but Indians and Red Sox definitely have more

I hate the Yankees, but there are more Yankees fans in WNY than any other team.

 

Next I would say probably the Mets and Red Sox would be close to one-another.

 

Then comes the Blue Jays (surge lately with the affiliation and the home games in Buffalo maybe propel them into the above group with the Mets and Sox).

 

Then comes the Indians

 

Then Pirates

 

I have only known 1 Reds fan in all my years living here.  I know several (long time) Orioles fans.  I would say they are after the Pirates.

I am surprised there would be a decent number of Red Sox fans in WNY. Given the hatred for the Pats and even the Sabres and Bruins have had a decent rivalry over the years. NY and Boston don't mix sports wise.

I have often questioned local Yankees fans on that.  You couldn't pick a more different philosophy and experience as the Yankees vs the local Buffalo teams (I was more on this before there were several other big spenders who emerged in MLB).    

Red Sox and Boston in general were kind of endearing losers for what seemed to be destined for all eternity.  

 

I have always been a Cleveland fan.  I admit though, since the Guardians name change, it doesn't feel the same.  The Cleveland experience fits in well with Buffalo though.

I’ve always been a believer of Yankees fan or everyone else. But it really seems like the Red Sox have created a base for themselves

Buffalo definitely punches above its weight with NFL and NHL teams, and even an NLL lacrosse team. For an official metro population of 1.2 million (1.7 mil maybe if you add the Canadian population near the border) it's unheard of. Then add in the lack of major corporations to buy suites.

The Bills posted some new photos of the construction...

Thanks for the link! They’re definitely moving right along with the structural steel frame. It’s way more complicated than the old Rich Stadium which as we all know has a lower bowl of pretty much nothing more than concrete steps poured directly on the earthen berm.
