Buffalo to The Bronx: a sports-mad dash across New York State

Brand USA

This October, the stars of the NFL descend on London once again as the British capital is immersed into the all-American football spirit. Among the teams playing are the Buffalo Bills, trading their New York State home ground of Highmark Stadium for that of the Tottenham Hotspurs.

Make no mistake, New York is a great place to be a sports fan – in fact, it’s regularly ranked among the best in the world, eclipsing both London and LA in the 2021 ranking by prestigious agency BCW. Along with the Bills, it’s home to several football superstars including the Giants and the Jets, while the Knicks rule basketball, and the Mets and the Yankees are beloved by baseball fans. And sporting highlights are not simply confined to the Big Apple, as from Buffalo to Syracuse, halls of fame stuffed to the gills with legends that have made the whole state famous.
