Seneca Resorts & Casinos Ready to ‘ROC’ the Season With Rochester Knighthawks

In-arena promotions, prizes in store as Knighthawks prepare for home opener

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK: (December 17, 2025) – It may be the holiday season, but for Seneca Resorts & Casinos it’s Knighthawks season!

The region’s premier gaming and entertainment resort operator is gearing up for another exciting National Lacrosse League season as the Official Casino of the Rochester Knighthawks. This season marks the Knighthawks’ first season under the ownership of the Seneca Nation, which purchased the team earlier this year.

The excitement is building to a fever pitch ahead of the Knighthawks’ home opener against the Philadelphia Wings at Blue Cross Arena this Saturday, December 20 at 7 p.m. The Knighthawks opened the regular season last weekend with a 15-7 victory over the San Diego Seals, Rochester’s first-ever victory in San Diego.

“We’re ready to be part of an exciting and historic season with the Knighthawks and to be part of the action at Blue Cross Arena,” said Kevin Nephew, Seneca Resorts & Casinos President & CEO. “The energy around Saturday’s game and this entire season is incredible. We’re going to have plenty of fun and exciting ways to engage fans throughout the season, but the real excitement will be on the field with this year’s Knighthawks team. We hope it’s a year all Knighthawks fans will always remember.”

One of the many experiences Knighthawks fans can enjoy during each of the team’s home games this season is the Seneca Selfie Wall. Fans are encouraged to snap a selfie in front of the official Seneca Selfie Wall located on the ramp on the main concourse, and post the photos to X, Facebook and Instagram, tagging @RocKnighthawks and using #SenecaSelfieWall. The submissions will then be entered for a chance to win two tickets to enjoy that night’s game in the Seneca Resorts & Casinos suite.

The ”Take a Shot” trivia contest is another way for fans to elevate their Knighthawks game night experience. Each ticket holder for Knighthawks home games will receive a link to a designated website where they can answer questions predicting the outcome and stats for that night’s game. Contest winners will receive various prizes, from tickets to the next Knighthawks home game to logoed Knighthawks merchandise.

Knighthawks fans who are also Social Club by Seneca members can also extend their fun after the game by exchanging their Knighthawks tickets at the Social Club counter at any Seneca Resorts & Casinos property for exciting Free Play incentives.
