HSBC Arena is located at the foot of Main Street in what was once a thriving commercial district on Buffalo's waterfront. Adjacent to the Arena on the east is the Cobblestone Historic District. The District includes a collection of historic waterfront-era buildings and red Medina sandstone paving dating from 1835.

Visible from the Arena on the west is Lake Erie, Buffalo's Inner Harbor, and the reconstructed Commercial Slip, which was located where the Erie Canal met the Buffalo River and highlights Buffalo's historic position at the western terminus of the Erie Canal. Next to the Commercial Slip is the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park, the largest inland park of its kind in the nation and home of the USS The Sullivans, the USS Little Rock, and the USS Crocker.
