According to Nielsen, Buffalo has the most-avid fan base. The ranker is based on things like apparel purchases, TV viewership, radio listening, event attendance, streaming and "overall interest level."

Demolition continues on the former Highmark Stadium home to the #Bills. The North side of the stadium is now a pile of rubble.

Buffalo and Overtime

It’s always pain

[Bryan Long @bryanlong32]

@danfetes Nope. Those two things can’t be true at the same time.

A very normal Zach Benson game

[Dan Fetes @danfetes]

Took a baseball swing from McAvoy to his arm and just smiled and chirped him in the box.

Zach Benson is a DAWG.

Unbelievable vision 👁️👁️ #StanleyCup

[Matthew Bové @Matt_Bove]

The blade gang is now playing street hockey with a crunched up @LabattUSA cans as pucks. Mid video, a fan with a Stanley Cup wearing the traditional white gloves shows up. What a city.

Buffalo: 4 goals
Boston: 2 shots on goal

Buffalo hasn't made the playoffs since 2011... but

• they were the largest U.S. market for the 2026 Olympic Gold Medal Game
• In 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 Stanley Cup Finals they were the largest local viewership from a neutral market
• In 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 they were the 3rd largest local viewership of any U.S. city for the complete postseason
• Game 1 tickets this year were $464 USD on average, the most of any team in the NHL
• they're projected as the largest U.S. market for the 2026 regular season

They're the most passionate American hockey city, hands down.

You can actually see the wave of reacting to the goal from the opposite end of the stadium as they realize in succession what happened. Insane angle.

Deafening pop.
