Shade overview
Section 412 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 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.
Seasonal note: day games in Apr, Sep, Oct start already shaded — the early-innings sun is a June-August phenomenon.
