Shade by month and first pitch

Shade overview

Section 408 is a Grandstand Level section on the first-base/right-field side. At a midsummer 1:05 PM first pitch it's a sun/shade split — front rows catch the high sun while back rows sit in shade — and it stays that way for most of the game. The deck above covers the back rows, so the rear of the section is the safe bet whatever the start time.

Seasonal note: day games in Apr, Sep, Oct start already shaded — the early-innings sun is a June-August phenomenon.
