Section 116 at KeyBank Center

- With a lower level seating position near the middle of the ice, the 100 Level Center sections are home to some of the best seats in the house. Fans will have an ideal perspective to both nets while still feeling close to all the action. For a one of a kind experience, fans can sit directly behind the team benches in parts of Sections 104-106. Being just a pane of glass away from your favorite players is one of the most exciting places to be, however watching the game over the players and coaches shoulders can often be difficult. For the best overall views, we recommend sitting near Row 19 which will give you great seating elevation and keep you close to the section entry tunnels. 

(2026 Review) - Rinkside Location: The first row of seating in the lower level, right up against the glass — commonly known as Glass Seats.  Closest Possible View: The nearest look at scoring plays anywhere in the building, with the action just inches away.  No Added Perks: Unlike many glass seats around the league, these do not include club access or all-inclusive benefits — the draw is purely the front-row vantage point.  Rare Availability: These seats aren't on the market often, making them a bucket-list option for Sabres fans.  Who Should Sit Here  Rinkside VIP at KeyBank Center is for the fan who wants to be as close to the game as physically possible. If feeling the boards shake and watching plays unfold at ice level matters more to you than lounge access or included food and drink, this is the once-in-a-lifetime seat to chase for a Buffalo Sabres game.  Rinkside VIP Seating Details  These are the Glass Seats — the very first row of the lower level, wrapping the ice at KeyBank Center. Seats along the sides put you near the player benches or penalty boxes, while seats toward the ends place you directly behind the action at each net.  Views from the Rinkside VIP  You get the closest look in the arena. Along the side, you're level with the benches and penalty boxes; near the end, you'll feel the vibrations of the boards and have the tightest view of scoring plays. Wherever you land in this row, the experience is memorable.  Good to Know  Pick your spot by what you want to see: the ends deliver the closest scoring-play perspective and the most contact with the glass, while the sides keep you next to the benches and penalty boxes. Just remember these are pure front-row seats — no club or all-inclusive amenities come with them.
