Yankee Stadium Section 316 — Shade & Sun Guide
Terrace Level · behind home plate
At a representative July 1:05 PM start, Section 316 has the sun behind the stand. This section has open seating; any structural shade depends on the exact row and sun angle. Sun direction and overhead cover are separate; check the row notes below.
Sun directions are model estimates using the section’s approximate field-facing orientation for the 15th of each month, April through October 2026, sampled every 10 minutes over 3 hours 10 minutes. Overhead cover is described separately. Sun behind the stand does not guarantee shade; individual rows, local obstructions and clouds can change conditions. Use the interactive map for your game's date and start time.

Sun direction and cover
Section 316 sits behind home plate. Terrace seats are not roof-covered. A shared concourse with the Grandstand does not imply an overhang over these seats. The sun is behind this field-facing section at a representative July 1:05 PM start; open seats can still receive direct sun. Coverage does not guarantee shade. Exact shadow boundaries and arrival times have not been measured.
Seasonal sun directions use the 15th of each month. A later start does not guarantee shade before sunset; local obstructions have not been measured.
