Shade overview
Section 238 is a Bleachers section in the left-field outfield — a low open deck with no structure behind it to cast shade. For a summer 1:05 PM start, expect direct sun for roughly 100% of the game — bring sunscreen; relief only comes as the sun drops late in the day. Even 7:05 PM starts begin in evening sun, with shade settling in around 7:15 PM.
There is no month of the season where a day game here starts in shade — the bleachers rely on the sun dropping, not the stadium structure.
