Some places are more than buildings, and Highmark Stadium - forever The Ralph to me - is certainly…read moreone of them. Earlier this month, the Buffalo Bills played their final game here, and with that, a chapter on Bills history closed. This stadium wasn't flashy or modern and it really never needed to be. It was cold (very cold), loud, imperfect, and most of all it was full of heart. Just like Buffalo. For decades, The Ralph was home to heartbreak and hope, rebuilding years and breakthrough moments. It's where generations of fans learned what loyalty truly means. Win or lose, Bills Mafia always showed up. In snowstorms, sideways rain, freezing winds, and gray November skies, the stands were full, the energy never wavered, and we were both thankful and proud to be there. Tailgates felt like family reunions. Strangers became friends within minutes. We didn't just watch football here, we felt it. The roar of the crowd, the signs, the chants, and the unwavering BILLief that this could be THEE year are moments stitched into the memories of every Bills fan. So as the Bills move across the street into their new home, I'll always be grateful for The Ralph. The memories will live on long after the final whistle blew. Highmark Stadium may be closing its doors but The Ralph will always be in my mind and in my heart. Thank you for the memories, thank you for the magic. Go Bills!

Tailgating here is an absolute blast. Not sure if you can tailgate in the bills parking lot , but the surrounding lots are an absolute epic experience. Shout out to the Bills Mafia. These fans are great and absolutely know how to have a great time. From the table smashing, to the ketchup guy, to their great costumes. My sunday night game was very memorable. Inside the stadium was also fun. We sat in the club level where they have heaters above the seats , so being cold is not a factor. Fans were fun and not hostile. Buffalo and milwaukee are very similar in culture. GO PACK GO!!!!

Once you get into the building, taking the elevator to the 7th (?) floor will bring you into the arena. There's not a bad seat in the house and the vendors seemed to be more reasonably priced than a game at the KeyBank Arena. I had a pretty decent chicken finger sub while I was over here. For a hockey game, it's a great venue...and I'm definitely curious to learn more about renting skates/etc and coming here for that -- seems like it would be a great place for some indoor skating as well!

And what if a famous person played here? Well then his name would be EPIC ESTRADA or EPIC CLAPTON. Obviously. Seriously did you know Eric Clapton gave a drunken racist speech on stage a few times? I heard one of them on YouTube, it was horrible. Put me right off him. I'm sure it's the reason why Layla left him. He definitely wasn't wonderful that night. This is actually my favourite place in Western NY to play soccer (football, futbol). It's not as fancy as Sahlen's, and female friends have told me it doesn't smell very nice here (because of the Ice Hockey probably), but it feels like home. The employees are absolutely wonderful, the refs are usually very good, the teams that play here don't usually try and cripple you and break your legs, and in general this place is good times and good people. The guy who runs it (doesn't own it, but pretty much runs it), is Mark, and he is one of the friendliest people I've ever dealt with. He's so accommodating and just nice on every level, and very professional. The other guys that work here such as Isaiah (sp?) and the cute girls that do the scorekeeping (one in particular! swoon!), and the referees like the two from England (one from Birmingham, one who vacations in Florida), and so on... Plus I have a habit of winning championships here, so I like it. I think I've won something like 6 or 7 championships here in the last 3 years... 4 or 5 of those were in the last 6 months. So yay Epic. It's always good to win, right? Sahlens is where I always seem to get injured, and it's super far, and super serious... and Sportsplex is... well, I'll review that another time and explain. They have all kinds of other cool sports as well as soccer... just look on their website for full details. And they have a small and a large soccer field, and I like playing on both. Especially on the small one because it matches the kind of little 5-a-side games I used to play in England, it lends itself to players who are good at close control and tight-space-skill which is definitely one of my fave types of game play. So Yay Epic.

The Bisons Event team absolutely nailed it. The food was fantastic, the service was impeccable, and the venue space itself was perfect. From a planning perspective, the entire day was completely seamless. We didn't have to worry about a single detail, which allowed us to be fully present and cherish every moment with our guests. John was attentive, accommodating and so friendly. Jarrett took the time to come down and meet us and check in on how things were going. We cannot recommend hosting an event and working with you and your team at Sahlen's Field highly enough.

Now they have made some updates and improvements since then but they still have that same feel and nostalgia of how it was. For the most part, it is what you'd expect: food and drinks are priced pretty high, seats aren't super big, but it has decent parking nearby so that's a plus. Usually we go here for a few Sabres games, Bandits games, and a couple of concerts every year. We've been lucky enough to take a tour of the locker rooms and even skate on the ice for some special events. As much as people hope for a new arena like the new, incoming Bills stadium, I like this old arena and all it's quirks. Don't come here hungry and make sure you get there early for a good parking spot.

The concession stand is pretty barren, they no longer offer fresh naco cheese. Standard pre cooked hotdogs, pizza, pretzels, and drinks. Prices are a little high for the quality. The ice rink starts out warm but by the middle of the 2nd period the heat is shut off. You can really feel it by the 3rd, so dress warm. Seating is bleacher style, hard wooden benches. Come early and sit in the back row so you can rest against the railing. There is elevator access on the bottom floor but it isn't obvious. They play bad music really loud, sometimes you can't hear the announcer. Its fine for a college game but overall not that great of an experience.

I graduated from Trocaire College in May of 2018 with a degree in Radiologic Technology. At the…read moretime I entered the school, the program had a great reputation, with teachers and staff that had years of experience at the college and in the field. My class was the first class where they took on almost twice as many students. This meant they had to cut the clinic time in half for us because they no longer had enough sites to place us at. The long time director knew this would have negative consequences for the students and for the field, and because she opposed this, she was fired. After that things really started to deteriorate and a couple long time teachers began their exit. I felt like a guinea pig for almost two years. There was an extreme lack of leadership and many students came out unprepared due to not having enough clinic time. The only real message Trocaire College gave me is that they ONLY care about money. I got a good degree, and afterwards a good job, but for the price you pay you might as well go to a community college where you'll pay 1/3 the price. save yourself the trouble.
