Coming to a Sabres game in 2021-22? Here are some things to know

The 2021-22 season will usher in some changes for fans attending games at KeyBank Center. Here are some of the biggest updates you'll see when you come to the rink.

In-Arena Experiences

• Sabres players will have custom goal songs this year. So if Jeff Skinner scores tonight, he'll throw his hands up because they'll be playing his song.
• A brand-new entertainment stage has been built in Section 120 and select home games will feature live music. The Plagiarists will be performing during the first and second intermissions on opening night.

• New arena host Courtney Corbetta will be on hand as well to give away prizes to fans and let them know about upcoming events and promotions.
• The Seneca Sports Lounge on the 200 Level will host pregame happy hours before every home game with $5 domestic drafts, starting with the home opener. Brian Duff and Martin Biron will be on site hosting the MSG pregame show.
The Seneca Sports Lounge will also feature a nightly interactive game and visits from Sabres alumni during the first intermission.
