Is there a sun and shade map for Mercedes-Benz Stadium?

No. A roof covers the seats, so the aerial lidar we use only sees the roof, not the rows under it. Mercedes-Benz Stadium has a retractable roof with a distinctive 'pinwheel' design of eight translucent triangular panels that open to resemble a bird's extended wings, inspired by the oculus of the Roman Pantheon. Without the rows we can't measure sightlines or sun minutes honestly, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies.
