Capacity
19,070
KeyBank Center has a classic two-level bowl with 300-level upper deck seating that provides a full-rink view. With 19,070 seats in hockey configuration, it's a mid-size NHL arena with good sightlines from every section. The lower bowl wraps close to the ice, and the steep upper deck means even the highest seats have a clear view of the action. Buffalo's affordability means you can sit in the lower bowl for what upper-deck seats cost in larger markets.
