Is there a sun and shade map for Alerus Center?

No. A roof covers the seats, so the aerial lidar we use only sees the roof, not the rows under it. Alerus Center is an indoor arena with a roof covering the seats and field. Without the rows we can't measure sightlines or sun minutes honestly, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies.
