Is there a sun and shade map for Providence Park?

No. A roof covers the seats, so the aerial lidar we use only sees the roof, not the rows under it. A cantilevered steel canopy roof covers the upper-deck seating bowl, providing roughly 80% coverage of seats from sun and rain; all 200-level sections in the west and north stands are covered. Without the rows we can't measure sightlines or sun minutes honestly, so this guide sticks to the schedule, parking and stadium policies.
