    East wall of Aud comes down



    pretty soon the Aud will be only a memory, to bad they are tearing down the Aud for nothing because Bass Pro will never come to Buffalo! make way for another parking lot for the HSBC Arena. Hey it's Buffalo the city never does anything right!

    Another major chunk of Memorial Auditorium came crashing down this morning as crews continue demolition of the sports landmark.

    Matt Davison, spokesman for the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp., said in April that crews would begin picking away at the remaining walls once most of the trusses are removed. Completion date is set for late June.

    even though I only went to two games there, it's still sad to see it go.

    There's no point in letting nostalgia impede progress, though. It'll be worth it if Buffalo actually does something with the waterfront space.

      And the odds that Buffalo will do something worthwhile are about the same odds I have of hooking up with Angie Harmon.

          What was the point of keeping the Aud? It was a crap hole and full of toxic waste.

          Bass pro or not it opens the door for something that can actually be used in that area.

              I have great memories from the Aud, but it HAD to go. You've got to move forward and stop looking back to make progress.

                          There was nothing like the feeling of standing up in the oranges and being convinced that you were going to tumble down and land in blues or golds.

                            I attended many games at the Aud, going back to the old AHL Bisons, the Globetrotters vs. the College All Stars, Little Three games, Braves' games and others.

                            I like HSBC a lot better.
                            Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                              My best freind's (and Best man- twice) - Chuck- his dad Carl was a beer vendor there during the late 70's through the 80's.

                              Lots of memories going with him on Sundays (when the Sabres played EVERY sunday night at 7) and freezing my ass off waiting for him to go to the basement and opening a back door. Chuck and I would sneak in 2 hours before game time and watch tons of Hockey (and once in a while concerts)

                              We would be up in the standing room only section for period 1 and by then the ushers in Carl's section would knbow which Canadien season ticket holders would be a no show. His section was down in the golds in the corner.

                              I must have seen 30-40 games that way.
