Amazing postgame shows have been a staple for years at Sahlen Field, but Bisons fans can soon experience something never before seen at the ballpark as the Herd will host its first ever postgame DRONE SHOW, presented by M&T Bank, on Saturday, August 2, following the team’s game against the Syracuse Mets (6:35 p.m.).

The Drone Show event will be part of a very special day and night at Sahlen Field, as the Bisons annual “Women In Sports Night” will also include two other ballpark firsts; a Bisons Softball Clinic on the field during the day (space is limited, register at Bisons.com) and a pregame Women in Sports Panel Discussion in the Consumer’s Pub at the Park restaurant at 4:30 p.m. (RSVP today at Bisons.com | 716-846-2100).

“When a team has as much history as the Buffalo Bisons, it’s not easy to find new ‘firsts’ to break – but this August, M&T Bank will help the Bisons make three historic firsts possible, all in one night,” said Tracy Woodrow, M&T Bank Chief Administrative Officer and WNY Regional President. “With a dynamic panel discussion, an elite softball clinic and a spectacular drone show lighting up the skies after the game, ‘Women in Sports Night’ will underscore the joy of connection and provide inspiration for Western New Yorkers of all ages to pursue their passions.”

Game Tickets are on sale now at Bisons.com and at the Sahlen Field Box Office. Fans are reminded that they save nearly 20% when they purchase their single-game tickets in advance of gameday.

DRONE SHOW

The postgame Drone Show promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience unlike any other in the ballpark’s great history. A fleet of 200 drones from SkyElements, each fitted with brilliant LED lights, creates mesmerizing patterns, shapes, and animations in the sky. Each formation will be accompanied by sounds and music as we tell the story of a 'Night at the Ballpark,'.... with a few fun twists and turns.
