Is there a sun and shade map for Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium?

Not yet. We have not built a seat model for this stadium. Our sun and shade maps need a recent lidar survey and a section-by-section seating map, so we cover the bigger FBS and NFL stadiums first. 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.
