Is there a sun and shade map for Raymond James Stadium?

Not yet. The newest lidar survey of the stadium was flown in 2007, too old to trust for the stands as they are today. 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.
