BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Banditland may not have been able to travel to Colorado to support the team on Monday, but despite the tough loss on the road, fans are certainly sending a ton of Buffa-love to the team.

Fans like Melissa Swinnch visited Draft House in Buffalo to watch and cheer on the Bandits. Swinnch said the love for the team came from a special place.

"Oh I started coming to games with my mom and we had such a blast that I start coming more and more and now I go to all the games," Swinnch shared.

The energy in the room full of Bandits fans, Swinnch said, is unmatched.

"For an away game the community in there is so strong," Swinnch said.

The Bandits started on top but after the Colorado Mammoth tied it. The win slipped away as the clock continued to count down.

"We've been coming to the Finals and coming up short," he said. "We gotta win it this year whether it's there or here," Bandits fan Jared Genovese said.

Genovese said it's been 15 years too long and the Bandits will win on Saturday.

"Colorado can't win in Banditland I mean we're too crazy," he said with a smile. "Yeah, I think we're taking the next game we're going to be the 2023 champions."

Game 3 will be in Buffalo at KeyBank Center. The start time is set for 7:30 Saturday evening.
