Football Shade Strategy

Game Duration

Football games last 3+ hours, making shade important for early season games and sunny afternoon kickoffs.

Best Shade Sections

Upper deck and covered club sections provide the best shade during afternoon games

Seasonal Considerations

Early season (September-October): High sun exposure risk during day games
Late season (December-January): Sun exposure less of a concern
Playoff games: Weather protection becomes more important than shade
