The 2023 NLL Cup-champion Buffalo Bandits will host a celebration in Alumni Plaza on Thursday, June 15 starting at 5 p.m.

The players will be featured on the main stage to salute Banditland and thank them for their unwavering support throughout the season.

The event, which is free and open to all fans, will culminate at 6:15 p.m. with the Bandits leading a procession down Washington Street to Sahlen Field, where the Buffalo Bisons are hosting Lacrosse Night at the Ballpark. NLL Finals MVP Dhane Smith will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Throughout the duration of the celebration, fans will have the opportunity to make a nonperishable food donation to FeedMore WNY in exchange for a special edition poster commemorating Buffalo’s NLL Finals victory (available to the first 1,000 fans). Learn more about FeedMore WNY here.
