Bring Layers: The indoor climate is controlled, but some athletes report cool air near loading docks or high-traffic doors.
Footwear: Rubber-soled or hybrid shoes are best for grip on the polished concrete or rollout flooring.
Plan Arrival Early: The BCEC is massive - give yourself 30-60 minutes buffer to navigate from entrance to check-in to warm-up.
Fuel Smart: Nearby healthy food options include Sweetgreen, Juice Press, and Whole Foods Market - stock up beforehand if needed.
Stay Hydrated: The air is often dry indoors; use electrolyte tablets if you sweat heavily.
