Loading stadium data...
For a day game at Dodger Stadium, the behind home plate 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 · 18° above the horizon
