Buffalo Bisons Opening Day!
With winter officially in the rearview mirror, the Buffalo Bisons have issued a “50 Degree Guarantee” for the return of their season on Opening Day, Friday, March 27th against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Yankees) at Sahlen Field (1:05pm first pitch). Get my tickets.
On Opening Day, it will be 50 degrees at first pitch! But if it’s not, all fans in attendance will be able to exchange their game ticket at the Sahlen Field Box Office for a free ticket for a Bisons home game through May 31st (exchange can be made any time). For the third consecutive season, the Bisons are scheduled to play the earliest game in their 141-season history! In 2025, the team hit their Opening Day 50-degree guarantee and picked up a 6-2 victory over Rochester.
Opening Day 2026 will feature a ceremonial first pitch from Buffalo Bills linebacker, Joe Andreessen, as well as a 2026 Magnetic Schedule Giveaway when gates open at 12pm. The team will also hold a special Resurgence Brewing Happy Hour at the all new Fattey’s Craft Beer Corner with $4 craft beers from 12pm to 1pm to toast the new season.
Opening Weekend will also feature games on Saturday, March 28th and Sunday, March 29th against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre at 1pm each day. Both of those games will feature a Kids Eat FREE Giveaway where the first 1,000 kids through the Swan Street gate will receive a free Hot Dog/Soda/Cotton Candy Voucher. Both games will also feature a pregame Mascot Meet n’ Greet and $10 Kids Tickets (14 and under) at the Sahlen Field Box Office. Think warm thoughts, Bisons fans, and get your Opening Day tickets online or at the Sahlen Field Box Office!
