The plaza just doesn’t seem like a good “family” event. Bring your kids to stand outside for a game, standing 4 feet tall not being about to see anything but crotch?
Take them to Dunn Tire park when they play the games on the big screen there if you want a cheap, more family oriented outdoor viewing of the game.
To me this is just more of Buffalo doing anything they can to screw up something that is bringing lots of people downtown to spend money.
