Description: SAHLEN FIELD & THE AUDPilot Field (now Sahlen Field), located in downtown Buffalo, New York, is a prominent baseball stadium with a rich history. Opened in 1988, it was initially named Pilot Field and was built as the home for the Buffalo Bisons, a minor league baseball team. The stadium was a significant part of Buffalo’s bid to attract a Major League Baseball (MLB) team, and as such, it was constructed with the potential for expansion to major league standards. With a seating capacity of over 19,000, it was one of the largest minor league stadiums in the country at the time.Pilot Field has hosted many notable players who either passed through Buffalo on their way to the majors or were part of the Bisons' rich history. Some of these players include Jim Thome, one of baseball’s greatest sluggers, and Bartolo Colón, a Cy Young Award-winning pitcher. The stadium also served as the temporary home for the Toronto Blue Jays during the 2020 and 2021 MLB seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, giving it a unique place in modern baseball history.Memorial Auditorium, affectionately known as "The Aud," was a multi-purpose indoor arena in Buffalo, New York, that opened in 1940 and was demolished in 2009. For decades, it was the heart of Buffalo's sports scene, most notably serving as the home of the NHL's Buffalo Sabres from their inception in 1970 until 1996. The arena also hosted the Buffalo Braves, an NBA team that played there from 1970 until the franchise moved to San Diego in 1978.The Aud was known for its intimate atmosphere, where fans felt close to the action, particularly during the height of the Sabres' "French Connection" era in the 1970s. This line, consisting of Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin, and René Robert, became one of the most famous in NHL history. The Sabres' success during this period, including a run to the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals, made Memorial Auditorium a revered venue in hockey lore. Unused 4" x 6" continental chrome postcard.
