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 will unveil 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 is invited to attend the unveiling ceremony on Monday, October 13 at 9:30 a.m. in the rear parking lot at 106 Michigan Ave., across from Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino.

“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 will take place before the Buffalo Sabres face off against the Colorado Avalanche in KeyBank Center at 12:30 p.m. Later in the day, the Buffalo Bills take on the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football in Atlanta.

Monday’s event will include refreshments, music, appearances by Buffalo team personalities and DJ Nicholas Picholas, and the Buffalo Bandits’ National Lacrosse League Cup championship trophy.

“There will be a definite tailgate atmosphere at the mural unveiling,” Nephew said. “We hope the mural helps get fans fired up for a double dose of Buffalo sports and ready to cheer on the Sabres in the afternoon and the Bills on Monday night.”

Seneca Resorts & Casinoshas 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.

The recently acquired Rochester Knighthawks kindly donated a signed jersey from team member Zed Williams, a Seneca wolf clan member, to the event. Agwadeyësta’ Do:gë:h then donated the proceeds from the jersey auction to the family of Noah Snyder, a beloved lacrosse standout who unexpectedly passed away earlier this month.

Noah, a notable former player of the Rochester Junior Knighthawks and of the Haudenosaunee Nationals U-20 team, was one of two Marquette University lacrosse students who tragically passed in a car accident, both of whom were recently named to the Big East All-men’s lacrosse team. Seneca Holdings extends its deepest condolences to the families and friends of Noah and Scott Michaud. We recognize the profound loss felt across the lacrosse world; our hearts are with all who are grieving during this difficult time.

Seneca Holdings, the economic development arm of the Seneca Nation, continued its sponsorship of the tournament, reinforcing its commitment to investing in initiatives that strengthen cultural identity and community well-being. Together, Agwadeyësta’ Do:gë:h, the Rochester Knighthawks, and Seneca Holdings exemplify the power of collaboration in uplifting Indigenous language, culture, and community.

Agwadeyësta’ Do:gë:h, which translates to “We learn together,” is a 501(c)3 organization committed to producing fluent Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) speakers through collaborating, connecting, and supporting current language and cultural programs for the Seneca Nation. They have been able to fund the certification of Montessori instructors, provide classroom equipment and resources, sponsor language teachers to attend professional development seminars, co-sponsor two comprehensive language conferences, and more.

Enterprise Mobility Foundation™ Grant Support

In addition to the funds raised through the golf tournament, the Agwadeyęsta’ Do:gë:h language program also received a grant donation through the Enterprise Mobility Foundation™, made possible by Seneca Holdings’ partnership with Enterprise|National.

This marks the third consecutive year the Seneca Holdings team has secured this funding, which is designed to support initiatives in community improvement, education, and environmental stewardship.
