Buffalo Memorial Auditorium first opened its doors in 1940 and for 26 seasons, the building affectionately referred to as "The Aud" served as the home of the Buffalo Sabres.
Following the 1995-96 season, the team moved down the street to what is now KeyBank Center, but the memories of The Aud live on.
As part of the Golden Season, the Sabres will be celebrating Aud Night on Thursday, Dec. 12 when the team hosts the Nashville Predators. Faceoff is at 7 p.m., but fans will want to arrive early for pregame festivities.
Tickets are on sale now.
Before the game, the main Blue Zone Bar will host a happy hour with $5 Labatt drafts from 5 to 6:30 p.m. and live '80s music. The first 2,000 fans in attendance will also receive a special edition jersey koozie, courtesy of Labatt.
