Which side of Snapdragon Stadium is in the shade?
Sit in the west stand for shade; the east stand gets the most sun. Average minutes of direct sun per seat for San Diego Wave vs Boston Legacy FC at 4:00 pm: east stand 83 min, north end 36 min, south end 22 min, west stand 1 min. Afternoon sun comes from the south-west, so the west stand is in its own shadow while the east stand faces the sun. Kickoffs at 6:30 pm or later in October and November start after sunset, so no seat gets sun.
