Buffalo Bandits News Release
BUFFALO, N.Y. (November 2, 2007) --- The Buffalo Bandits today announced the team's 2008 National Lacrosse League regular season schedule. Buffalo's 16-game schedule features nine home games and seven on the road.
The Bandits open the 2008 season on Friday, January 11 at HSBC Arena, when they will take on the Rochester Knighthawks at 7:30 p.m. One night later, Buffalo travels down the Thruway for a return match with the Knighthawks. Buffalo's schedule also features a second game in Rochester on Saturday, April 12. Six of Buffalo's final seven games will be played at home.
The Bandits will play a ninth home game at HSBC Arena on Saturday, April 26 against the Portland LumberJax due to the NLL's revised schedule. Season ticket holders wishing not to attend this additional home game will have the ability to opt out at no charge.
In light of the cancellation of the original 2008 season schedule, the Arizona and Boston franchises have opted not to play in 2008 due to a number of business issues. A dispersal draft will be held next week. Both franchises will resume operations in 2009.
Season tickets are now on sale starting as low as $12 per game. Tickets can be purchased at the HSBC Arena Account Services Office, online at www.Bandits.com, or by calling 1-888-467-2273.
The Bandits will host an open practice, select-a-seat day, and autograph session at HSBC Arena on Saturday, December 8. Further details will be provided at www.bandits.com in the coming weeks.
