Celebration held October 13th
Buffalo, New York: (October 9, 2025) – With Buffalo sports excitement in full swing, the team at Seneca Resorts & Casinos is getting ready to showcase its fandom in a visible and exciting way.
Company officials and team members unveiled an original mural that celebrates Western New York’s hometown professional sports teams and the players, personalities, fans and community that make every game an event. The public was invited to attend the unveiling ceremony on Monday.
“Buffalo has the greatest and most passionate sports fans anywhere, and nobody is a bigger fan of our hometown teams than Team Seneca,” said Seneca Resorts & Casinos President & CEO Kevin Nephew. “We want our teams, our fans, and our entire community to know how much we support, appreciate and root for the Bandits, Bisons, Sabres and Bills, and we want that spirit to be a visible part of the exciting atmosphere in downtown Buffalo.”
The mural is an original artistic creation by Nickey Sereluca, who works in the Advertising Department at Seneca Resorts & Casinos. It pays homage to the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo Bisons, Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills and includes representations of each team and things that are uniquely Buffalo. The unveiling event took place before the Buffalo Sabres faced off against the Colorado Avalanche in KeyBank Center. Later in the day, the Buffalo Bills took on the Atlanta Falcons for Monday Night Football.
The event included refreshments, music, appearances by Buffalo team personalities and DJ Nicholas Picholas, and the Buffalo Bandits’ National Lacrosse League Cup championship trophy. “There was a definite tailgate atmosphere at the mural unveiling,” Nephew said. Seneca Resorts & Casinos has longstanding partnerships with the region’s professional sports teams, serving as the Official Casino for each team. The three Seneca Resorts & Casinos properties – Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino – also have a visible presence inside KeyBank Center, Highmark Stadium and Sahlen’s Field, and the sports lounges at each property are popular destinations for fans to assemble to enjoy thrilling sports action from across the professional sports universe. In addition, the company unveiled its new 716 SportsWear retail store at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino earlier this year, featuring a dynamic selection of sports apparel that celebrates Buffalo’s favorite teams, including official merchandise from the Bills, Sabres, Bandits, and more. The store offers a unique and expansive lineup for every fan, with jerseys, hats, activewear, loungewear, and other apparel from brands including New Era, 26 Shirts and other trusted favorites, plus new styles.
