For a day game at Target Field, 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 · 24° above the horizon

Shade availability varies significantly throughout the baseball season:
Lower sun angle — more shade available, especially in afternoon games
Sun angle rising — shade coverage decreases, evening games best for comfort
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
Afternoon sun on the outfield (center field) side
Sunset glare possible in outfield sections

The sun is strongest between 11 AM and 4 PM. Day games at Target Field will have maximum sun exposure during these hours.
Bring your own sunscreen - SPF 30+ recommended
Drink water regularly, especially during day games. Target Field has water fountains on each level.
For a 1 PM game, the first base side falls into shade first, so seats there and up in the back rows of the upper deck stay coolest. Fully covered sections like Delta Sky360 Club 201, Delta Sky360 Club 202, Delta Sky360 Club 203 offer guaranteed shade all day.
5 sections at Target Field are fully covered (all rows) — mostly indoor, suite, and club-level spaces, and 5 more are shaded in their back rows only, under the upper-deck overhang and roof. Field-level and open bleacher sections are exposed.
Fully covered (all rows): Delta Sky360 Club 201, Delta Sky360 Club 202, Delta Sky360 Club 203, Delta Sky360 Club 204, Delta Sky360 Club 205.
Back rows only (overhang/roof): View Reserved 301, View Reserved 302, View Reserved 303, View Reserved 304, View Reserved 305.
For day games, shade typically reaches the field level sections by the 5th-6th inning. Evening games (7 PM starts) usually have most of the stadium in shade by first pitch, except for outfield sections which may experience sunset glare.
Yes, the upper deck concourse and club level concourses offer shaded standing room areas with views of the field. These are great options for escaping the sun during day games.
Remember, shade patterns change throughout the season and even during the game. For the most accurate, real-time shade information for your specific game, use our interactive shade tracker.
