Unlike the Diagrams for the Stadium online, each subsequent higher tier actaully reaches out to within a few rows of the the deck below it. So-At 1PM yesterday, most of the entire Upper Deck along the first base/ right field line was in the shade. That shade though only carried over to the lower bowl about 8 rows in front walking down from Main Concourse--but that shade was scattered. Those sitting on the 3rd base side at 1PM ARE IN THE SUN. The Back 4 Rows of the lower concourse are under the Club Level. But, at 1PM the third base side had alot of sun. I would imagine as the sun crossed the sky--the 3rd base side would eventually be in the shade, but not sure when. Make not mistake about it though, if you are in the field boxes--you will see the sun. Interestingly enough, the sun yesterday, before it rained, was actually Above, but BEHIND the stadium on the first base side. That was unexpected. I hope some of this helps. This information was the most important information gathered yesterday. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for your great site and pictures of the new place. <BR/><BR/>My big concern is the sun. The construction webcam shows that the rightfield line seats would be in full sun during day games. At RFK, my Section 407 seats are always in shade and even on Sunday, the heat was tolerable in the shade. <BR/><BR/>You've been there a few times -- what do you think? Where's the best place to avoid direct sun in the new place?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
