Medaille College Sports Complex is the next chapter in a long and storied legacy of Buffalo sports history. We’re proud to share it with the entire Western New York community—and all of those who visit.

About MCSC

Built for Buffalo.

A reinvention, a resurgence, a revitalization, or even a resurrection. Whatever you want to call it, the city of Buffalo is owning it. And now—with the opening of the Medaille College Sports Complex—we are proud to take part in the process. Together, we are rejuvenating the city we love.

Yes, our fields and banners bear the name of the Medaille Mavericks. Yes, we are the undisputed home of our college athletes. But make no mistakes: Our sports complex was built for all of Western New York to enjoy.

Day campers. Little leaguers. Bar league heroes. Our sports complex is for you! We’re excited to share these fields with every player, coach, and sports fan in our community—right here in the City of Good Neighbors.

History in the Making.

This is Buffalo… What haven’t we seen? We’ve experienced breakthroughs, booms, and flashes of brilliance. We’ve bottomed out and we’ve watched it burn. We’ve rebuilt. From historic losses to epic comebacks—we’ve done it all. We’re still doing it, and we always will. Yeah, we were born in Buffalo. But we’re built for the world.

Elk Street – Buffalo, New York, USA

1832
The Birth of a City
Seven years after the Erie Canal is built, a new wave of opportunity floods the banks of the Buffalo River. Manufacturing. Commerce. Growth. Fueled by industry, the village of Buffalo is incorporated as a city.
1860
The Boom Continues
As industry thrives, new railroads are built en route to ports in Buffalo. The city soon becomes a global leader in grain production while establishing itself as a national hub for milling flour.
1879
The Entrepreneur
Jacob Schoellkopf opens the Schoellkopf Aniline Dye & Chemical Company at Lee and Elk Streets in South Buffalo. It pioneers the production of colored dyes used for fabrics, leather, and paper.

The Merger
Schoellkopf Aniline & Chemical Company merges with five other industry-leading companies from across the country.  Together, they form National Aniline & Chemical Works.

The Consolidation
National Aniline & Chemical Works joins five other companies to form Allied Chemical Works (later known as AlliedSignal). All manufacturing is consolidated to Buffalo.
