Buffalo Bandits Lead National Lacrosse League In Important Stat

Now that the National Lacrosse League regular season has wrapped up, we know exactly which 8 teams are going to the playoffs, along with the playoff seeding order. NLL officials are now doing some important work: tabulating and posting the final stats for the 2025/26 regular season.

For professional box lacrosse fans all over North America, knowing which of your favorite players leads the league in the important statistical categories is big business. Knowing who leads the league in goals, assists, points, loose ball recoveries, and more really helps you to know if your team is doing well together and individually.

That's especially true for the Buffalo Bandits, who are in the chase for thier 4th straight NLL Championship Cup, and with the 5th seed in this year's playoffs, that run for the cup is a little harder than it was last year.

Buffalo Bandits Lead The NLL In Attendance This Year

One of the key things that has made Buffalo so successful in the National Lacrosse League, which is also what makes it so difficult for visiting teams to play here, is the fans.

It gets pretty crazy in Banditland when the hometown team is in Buffalo, and that insane fandom is why Buffalo leads the league in perhaps one key stat this year.

As of the last game of the season, an eye-popping 242,051 people walked into Banditland this season. That means the Bandits averaged 18,291 fans per game, making them the team with the highest attendance in the league. Not only that, but the Bandits also averaged nearly 7,000 more fans per game than the next closest team, the Calgary Roughnecks.

Now, the Bandits look forward to facing the Georgia Swarm in the first round of the playoffs.
