Shade overview
Section 319 is a Terrace Level section behind home plate. 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 2:55 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.
Seasonal note: day games in Apr, Sep, Oct start already shaded — the early-innings sun is a June-August phenomenon.

Which rows of Section 319 are covered?
The rear rows sit under the deck above, protected from sun and rain all game. We don't publish an exact row cutoff — the covered zone starts toward the back.

Only the rear rows under the overhang. Front and middle rows are open to the sky.
What about night games in Section 319?
Shaded from first pitch — the sun is off this part of the stadium by 7:05 PM.
When is Section 319 sunniest?
Jun day games, when the early-afternoon sun is highest on this side. For the least sun, pick a later start or sit toward the rear.
