Is there a sun and shade map for Alumni Stadium?

Not yet. Sections C, D and E were rebuilt as premium seating for 2026, after the newest lidar survey of the stadium. We only publish seat and sun data measured from a survey of the stands as they are now, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies until a newer survey is flown.
