At a representative July 1:05 PM start, Section 131 faces the sun. This section has cover over some rows; sunlight can still enter beneath the overhang. Sun direction and overhead cover are separate; check the row notes below.

Overhead cover is described separately. Sun behind the stand does not guarantee shade; individual rows, local obstructions and clouds can change conditions.
