We had the classic roast beef sandwich with chips. The sandwich was bone dry and hard. The chips tasted like stale rubber. Such a disappointment and what a waste of our money. Should of taken the food back. Threw them out.
Sorry to hear that was the case! I have not made it out to Keybank Center, but I’ve been to Highmark Stadium for a Bills game and the food was not very good either. I imagine the new Bills stadium will see an improvement in food choices, which I hope then passes to Keybank Center.
