How does shade move across the game?
- 11:00 am kickoffs: the sun is low in the east, so the west sideline and club seats are in shade while the east student side sits in full sun.
- 2:30 pm kickoffs: the west side and canopied upper decks are shaded; the east and north stay sunny longest.
- 6:30 pm kickoffs: for the Texas game the sun has already set, so no section gets direct sun.
- Covered rows: under the deck or roof above, so they never see the sun. See each section page for its covered-from row.
