For a day game at Angel Stadium, the first base side falls into shade first. The coolest seats are on that side, in the back rows under the upper-deck overhang, and in any fully covered or club-level sections. Evening games leave most of the park shaded by first pitch. See how we calculate this.
Sun: W · 17° above the horizon

Near summer solstice — fewest shaded seats, covered sections essential
Peak summer - maximum sun exposure
Late summer - intense afternoon sun
Early fall - decreasing sun angle
Playoff season - comfortable temperatures
Maximum sun exposure - shade essential
