The holy grail for Buffalo hockey fans (and Elliotte too)

I would bet that Western New York is Eyewitness News.

 

As someone who is interested in stadiums and arenas, past and present, I find this rather fascinating. But it does illustrate the perils of having abandoned buildings stand around for years on end.

Frankly, I'm surprised the owners didn't try to salvage some of the stuff.... or at least make a mini-museum out of it. What is supposed to be built at that site once it is demolished?

 

Yup. some even break it down further into Western/Central/Eastern as well.

 

I think it's going to be a parking lot for a new Bass Pro shop and parking for the historic Erie Canal terminus/inner harbor district, which is very close.

 

I thought everything north of White Plains was upstate. :-\

 

Take a look at photos of Shibe Park and Roosevelt Stadium (in Jersey City) for some depressing pictures of ballparks that were closed.

 

Upstate NY, broken into regions.
Northern NY: Adirondacks, Watertown, Plattsburgh, Massena, Lake Placid
Central NY: Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca
Eastern NY: Albany, Saratoga
Western NY: Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls, Jamestown
Southern Tier: Binghamton, Olean, Bath, Elmira
Hudson Valley: Poughkeepsie, Middletown, Catskills
Downstate: Anything south of Poughkeepsie.
Got it?
Good.
