Buffalo Bisons Host Open Interviews Feb. 7 for 2026 Seasonal Jobs

Open interviews for seasonal and part-time positions at Sahlen Field will give local jobseekers and students direct access to Buffalo Bisons front-of-house, concessions, retail, and facilities roles ahead of the 2026 season. The team announced the hiring event on Jan. 28, and the timing puts staff recruitment squarely in the run-up to Opening Day on March 27.

The Bisons schedule the open interviews for Saturday, February 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. inside the Pub at the Park restaurant at Sahlen Field. Interested candidates should follow the venue directions used by the team: “Interested candidates who want to attend open interviews on February 7 should enter Sahlen Field via the Pub at the Park entrance on Washington St. and proceed up to the restaurant on the Mezzanine level of the ballpark.” For faster processing, the team notes that “Applicants are encouraged to download an application from Bisons.com for faster interview service.” For questions, applicants can call (716) 846-2063.

The hiring roster covers a wide range of game-day operations: concessions stand managers, cashiers, cooks for concessions and the in-stadium restaurant, porters, vendors, commissary staff, servers, bartenders, hostesses, gate manager positions, retail sales associates, and roles in food and beverage operations. Unique technical and facilities positions also appear in the listings, including a First Class Stationary Engineer. One local report additionally listed a cleaning supervisor role; that title has not been consistently listed across all republications of the team release.

A note of caution for applicants: a local television station published a conflicting schedule that lists February 15 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. as the open-interview window. The Bisons’ official release and the league posting give Feb. 7, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. as the authoritative time and location. Prospective hires should verify the date and time through the team website or by calling the number above before making plans.

The hiring push coincides with the Bisons’ role as the Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays and the organization’s broader summer staffing for ticketed suites, restaurant operations, and promotional programming. LinkedIn posts by incoming seasonal staff and interns signal active recruitment beyond hourly positions: “I’m so excited to share that this summer I will be joining the Buffalo Bisons as a Video Production Intern!” wrote Cecelia Mergenhagen, while Kailey Gyorffy posted, “Calling all local students seeking a 2026 internship in Culinary or Events & Restaurant Management!... Back of house and Front of house positions available. Apply on our website below!” Tyler Pastore shared, “I’m excited to share that I’ve accepted a Marketing & Promotions Internship with the Buffalo Bisons for the 2026 season!... Go Bisons.”

For fans and jobseekers, the event is more than seasonal hiring. It is a business and cultural moment that helps shape game-day experience, builds a pipeline for sports-industry careers in media, culinary, and event management, and supports local employment ahead of a crowded spring calendar. Verify the date and bring a completed application from the Bisons website to speed interviews; with Opening Day arriving March 27 against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders at 1:05 p.m., the organization will be staffing up quickly.
