Update
The Nationals Planning Committee recently learned that the competition gym does not have air conditioning. However, Buffalo State University is able to draw in cooler night air to help reduce temperatures in the gym overnight. The facility is also equipped with LED lighting, which helps limit heat buildup and maintain a more moderate indoor temperature. In addition, we are working with local AC rental companies in Buffalo to provide supplemental cooling for both the athlete warm-up area and the judges’ area.
Average June temperatures in Buffalo are as follows:
Average highs: 75°F–80°F (24°C–27°C)
Average lows: 55°F–60°F (13°C–16°C)
More information coming about this area!
