Doesn't look like enough shade imo. But what do I know.

I think you're right. Certainly, a lot more shade than the current facility, but not as much as they might have produced with a roof that extends further out. Even then, that amount of roof would help more if the stands were more vertical--the drawings make them look rather flat (low rake). That's something we got right at Olsen Field--extended roof, and a good rake.

Which way will the park be oriented? Based on the location that was given, and the drawings, I'm assuming that home plate to CF runs southeast. If so, that means first base will be the shady side.
