New season ticket packages on sale through Wednesday!!!
FC Buffalo is thrilled to announce that Buffalo Public Schools has agreed to host six of our seven home matches this summer at our long-time home, Robert E. Rich Sr. All-High Stadium in Buffalo.
“The No. 1 request of our fans has always been to play at All-High and, thanks to a lot of hard work and the critical advocacy of Buffalo School Board members Larry Quinn and Jason McCarthy, we are back where we belong,” the co-owners of FC Buffalo announced early Friday.
The policy change is the culmination of a process that began last May, and led to our playing the 2014 season at Canisius College’s Demske Athletic Complex. We were fortunate to have a great home last season, and Buffalo can rest easy knowing the folks in the Golden Griffins’ athletic department are second to none. We would never hesitate to stage a game at Demske.
The return to All-High will come after our opener on May 16 at Howe Field at Hamburg High School, and include five NPSL home matches and a visit from out-of-conference foes Greater Binghamton Thunder for the second leg of the Upstate NY Derby, a July 5 matinee.
FCB’s first home match at All-High in two years comes Saturday, May 23 against Detroit City FC.
In order to make this work, FC Buffalo will be raising ticket prices at the door to $8. Beginning next week, presale tickets will still be available for $5 per game.
The club also wishes to announce that the amenities you’ve expected from our home games, including Black Market Food Truck and others, will be back on site for most dates. Follow us on Twitter for specifics.

I’m a recent transplant/convert from Rochester.
Having followed soccer for years, I’m very happy to take (or leave} my aggression in a stadium somewhere in Buffalo now, as long as i can find it and its box office.
I’m assuming that “All High Stadium” is that place of choice for both.
Bravo to the mavericks of team FC Buffalo and to the winner goes the spoils!
Hope to see you there!!
