Special Events (formerly Arena) is the southernmost station in the Buffalo Metro Rail system located at the corner of Main and Perry Streets in the Free Fare Zone, which allows passengers free travel between this station and Fountain Plaza station. Passengers continuing northbound past Fountain Plaza are required to have proof-of-payment. Special Events station is located next to the KeyBank Center, which it serves immediately before and after an event. If there is no event at KeyBank Center, Erie Canal Harbor station serves as the southern terminus. The tracks continue to the NFTA Rail Maintenance Yard.[1]
This station is planned to be replaced by DL&W station. The timeline for the station's completion has shifted. It was originally planeed to be completed 2023. Then it shifted to summer 2024.[2] Now the station would most likely open in October 2024, with additional work extending beyond then.[3]
