"Buffalo Bill" Cody at the Pan-American Exposition - Buffalo, NY - William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody on Waymarking.com

Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show made an appearance at the Pan-American Exposition of 1901 in Buffalo. There were several shows put on during the Expo, spanning from August 26 through September 9. Since all but two of the buildings built for the exposition were temporary, no evidence remains of exactly where he performed.

What is known, however, is that he played several shows at the stadium built for the exposition. It seated 12,000 people and was modeled after the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens. The listed coordinates are for the only remaining building from the Pan-Am Expo, the New York State Building, now known as the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. As best as I can tell, the stadium was located at N42° 56.600 W078° 52.100.
