Ah, yes JJ the "French Connection"... and many more hockey players who played there for many years. The roof was raised when the Sabres came into being in the early seventies to accommodate the demand for tickets. For years in the seventies it was almost impossible to get season tickets. The Aud has been dark for a number years already. In the picture below you can see the HSBC Arena to the left, the Auds replacement. Buffalo is in the midst of revitalizing it's waterfront. The Aud was going to become a giant Bass Pro Shop. If you want to see more pictures checkout:

Char the Aud is right where the Skyway and the 190 cross each other in downtown Buffalo. It is about 2 or 3 miles south on the 190 from the Peace Bridge.
