How cold is it in an indoor ice skating rink?

Question

I'm working there tonight and don't know what to wear (can't wear a jacket). It's about 39°F outside here.

I said I'm working there, not skating. I won't be on the ice.

Answer 1

It won't be as cold as outside especially if you're working in the rink area. On the ice expect it to be close to 30 and in the stands there are usually heaters that take it to mid 40's. In the common area will be 70's.

Answer 2

How Cold Are Ice Rinks

Answer 3

If you're talking about a local ice rink, Ice rink temps vary hugely. Some rinks can afford to keep the building pretty cold, some can barely keep them cold enough to keep the ice solid.

Off the ice, it won't be that cold at all if you're moving around. Wear layers, like a long sleeve T with something you can zip or button up over it, and you should be just fine. You'll probably be down to your long sleeve T by the time you get warmed up and working.

Answer 5

An indoor ice rink is heated, so i defenetly reccomend wearing a sweater with a long sleve T underneath. That will keep you warm and you should be fine.

Answer 6

Well sitting inside while watching a hockey game is not exactly what I would call warm. I have been to many NCAA hockey games, especially the Bean Pot, at what is called Bank North Garden now and its been on the brink of freezing. Everyone kept there coats on even when there was 18,000 people plus. But it was probably slightly warmer than the 39 degrees that your talking about… Arg.

Answer 7

When I was working outside the thing I always remembered was thick warm woolly sox. Since you are not doing physical labor, long underwear below and a t-shirt underneath should suffice. You do live in a colder climate and won't freeze like the people in Vegas would.

Answer 8

We have rinks here in Philly where you could sit comfortably in a t-shirt and others where on the exact same day, you would need an arctic jumpsuit.

Dress warmly and in layers so you can make the adjustment you need.

Answer 9

Well, ,, a spring jjacket will do. it depends where your working, in the place where the ice rink is, or the welcoming section.

you can where a sweater inside the rink, and a light long sleeve in the welcoming section.

(go answer my quetion lol)

Answer 10

wear a turtle neck or warm sweater scarf and gloves. Its good to have gloves on if you fall on the ice, its cold and its easier to get back up with gloves its easier to grip. It is cold in there but you dont want to be bulky and after skating for a while your gonna warm up. Wear thick socks though cause the skates need to be snug. I went last weekend. It was freezing in there and I usually am not that cold. But The skates arent the way they used to be. They are wider and seem to be bulkier. They are to loose and my ankles hurt after one round of skating. Have fun!
