I do agree with the poster who said it looks like you would cook during a day game


I have to ask whether anyone understands the purpose of that "shade structure" atop the eastside stands.

Seriously, it is not going to "shade" anything, unless we start playing games at 8:00am. By noon (2pm at the latest) the sun will have moved far enough West to toast even the folks sitting on the top row of the third deck on the East side.

From the sun study they conducted it looks like the top 10ish rows will remain in shade even at 2pm.



These structures are meant to amplify the crowd noise, house the new lights, and provide additional press box seating. The shade component is just a side effect.

I dont recall mentioning the roof structures at all. Im speaking of the overall layout of the decks and orientation of the stadium. It just seems like the decks make less shade than most.
