Shade overview
Section 230 is a Main Level section on the third-base/left-field side. At a midsummer 1:05 PM first pitch it's a sun/shade split — front rows in the sun, back rows out of it — with full shade arriving around 3:25 PM. The deck above covers the back rows, so the rear of the section is the safe bet whatever the start time. By a 4:05 PM start the sun has moved off it entirely. Night games: shaded from first pitch.
