To ensure that Every Game is an Event in 2025, the Buffalo Bisons today unveiled “What’s New at the Ballpark,” a full lineup of enhancements made to the stadium, promotional schedule and dining options that the great fans of Western New York and Southern Ontario are sure to enjoy when they visit Sahlen Field this summer.

The Bisons 2025 season gets underway with the earliest home game in 140 seasons of professional baseball in Buffalo, Opening Day on Friday, March 28, as the Herd hosts the rival Rochester Red Wings (2:05 p.m.)… just 15 days away!

All Bisons single-game tickets, ticket packages and group party areas are on sale now at Bisons.com and at the Sahlen Field Box Office. Opening Day on March 28 (2:05 p.m.) will include a 2025 Magnetic Schedule Giveaway, compliments of Sahlen’s. The team’s ‘Opening Weekend’ games on Saturday, March 29 (1:05 p.m.) and Sunday, March 30 (1:05 p.m.) are ‘Kids Cheer FREE’ games where children 14 years old and younger can get a free ticket with an adult ticket purchase at the Sahlen Field Box Office.

From a completely overhauled Sound System, to the addition of new promotions like Harry Potter Night and a postgame Drone Show, to the all new Sahlen’s Buffalo Chicken Wing ‘Super Nachos,’ here’s a preview of what has been added this year to the best sports and family entertainment option in town!

A New Summertime First Pitch

Before Bisons fans even get to the ballpark, they’ll notice a new standardized first pitch time for most summer night games. In response to great fan feedback and in an effort to allow fans and families to enjoy everything Bisons baseball has to offer from gates opening to the final out, the team will now feature 6:35 p.m. first pitch times for almost all night home games in June, July and August. Ballpark gates will still open 60 minutes before Bisons games even with the adjusted start time (subject to change, excluding some special events). Check out the 2025 Bisons Schedule!.

Sound System Overhaul with Capstream Technologies, LLC

From dancing in the aisles to your favorite song, to prize announcements for the all new Win-It Wednesdays, to all the action on the field, the sweet sounds of the ballpark will sound better than ever thanks to an overall of the Sahlen Field Sound System. The Bisons have partnered with Capstream Technologies, LLC of Buffalo to completely replace and upgrade the core systems and original sound equipment within Sahlen Field. Conducted over an estimated 18 months, the initial phase of improvements also consists of a backend infrastructure assessment and upgrades that will be completed by Opening Day. Additional phases will address amp re-tuning, speaker upgrades and placement and integrations with broadcast and video feeds.

The Sound System project continues the Bisons’ and owners Bob and Mindy Rich’s investment back into Sahlen Field in their goal of providing the absolute best sports and entertainment experience and value at every event.

Bisons go ‘Reverse Retro’ for Thursdays. Add a ‘Natural’ look to night with postgame movie

The Bisons will have two new Theme Night uniform combos in 2025 and are giving their fans a sneak peek with the reveal of the on-field caps for both their Throwback Thursday Games, presented by AAA of Western & Central New York, as well as for their Saturday, July 19 game that will feature a postgame screening of the iconic baseball film, “The Natural.”

For each Throwback Thursday contest, the Bisons will wear Reverse Retro Caps that will include the classic ‘Sliding Buster’ logo worn by Bisons icons such as Jeff Manto, Alex Ramirez, Jhonny Peralta and Dave Hollins, but in the fan-favorite red and blue adorned by the likes of Bartolo Colon, Tim Wakefield, Carlos Garcia and Torey Lovullo. Along with the Sliding Buster, the blue, red-billed cap also features the ‘Soaring B’ worn by the team for two modern era Governors’ Cup Championship teams, 1998 and 2004.

Then on July 19 as the team celebrates one of the greatest sports movies of all time that was filmed right here in Buffalo, the Bisons will wear a Natural Cap that pays tribute to the movie’s ‘New York Knights.’ The interlocking N-Y of the Knights is replaced by a sharp edged ‘B’ in white, outlined in orange.

Both caps can be preordered now on Bisons.com with additional event details and jerseys to be announced!
