Is there a sun and shade map for Bill Snyder Family Stadium?

Not yet. The south end zone was rebuilt as the Shamrock Zone for 2021, after the newest lidar survey was flown in 2018. 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.
