14. Are my seats in the shade, or in the
sun?
Most games begin at 1:05 pm, and, being Arizona,
most game days end up being sunny. That being
said, there are areas of the Stadium that do tend to
get more (or less) shade throughout the game.
The areas with the most shade tend to be sections
200 through 212, and 201 through 211, and the
Budweiser Tent. All
other sections are in the sun.
Please bring sunscreen and stay hydrated regardless
of where you are sitting.
