Parking around KeyBank Center is available in several official ramps and surface lots close to the arena. The KeyBank Center parking ramp on Illinois Street and the LECOM Harborcenter ramp nearby are the main options, with surface lots on Mississippi Street and Baltimore Street as well. Prices for events usually fall between about $5-$25, but they’re cashless now so bring a card or mobile pay. Spots can fill up early for big Sabres games or concerts, and some locals recommend booking ahead using parking apps or reserving your space with your ticket. There are also private lots around downtown that might be a bit cheaper but usually require a short walk. If you want to avoid the traffic entirely, ride the Metro Rail or park further out and walk or take a short cab or rideshare. After events, getting out of the closest ramps can take time, so plan an exit strategy ahead of time.
