I miss the Aud. What ever happened to the gray seats?

When they raised the roof and added the orange balcony they painted all the grays blue. I presume it was a pricing decision.

Same seats, but different color and different price. But, oh the prestige of sitting in the "Blues!" I watched the Boys in Brown vanquish Canisius and Niagara from those gray seats with my big brother. The Sabres came to town, and then no more gray. After that, when I was in high school, the "cheap" seats for the Bonnies were those orange ones. |

I sat in the grays once, myself, the 1970 shellacking of Niagara, and at least one other game in the would-have-been grays, a 1993 Sabres playoff game against Montreal. The was the one where Mogilny broke his leg. I wan't a fan of those upper blues, tucked way up under the balcony overhang with a primitive CRT screen as your only source of info as you couldn't see the scoreboard. |

I was going to throw in a jab about the monitors up under the balcony, too, but I was reluctant to take this off topic thread too far off it's topic.  |
