Loading stadium data...
For a day game at Yankee 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 · 20° 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

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.
