When I said it was going to be simple,
I didn't mean THAT simple!
As Regular Readers quickly found out, Yankee Stadium (along with several other stadiums) offers online guides to sun and shade. That's a handy thing to remember.
But I want to up the ante just a little bit, and propose that we try to find a more general solution than that.
So let me rewrite the Challenge just a bit:
1. My brother has changed his mind, and now he's going to see a baseball game at the Red Wings baseball stadium in Rochester, New York on June 11th. The game starts at 1PM. Where can I get a seat that will be both near the field and in the shade for the whole game?
Here's the picture of the stadium where the Rochester Red Wings play. They're a minor league baseball team based in Rochester, New York. They play in the International League farm team for the Minnesota Twins. They play in Frontier Field, located in downtown Rochester. Founded in 1899, the Red Wings are the oldest continuously operating sports franchise in North America below the major league level.
To help you out, the field looks like this (see below), and is located at 43.1551745,-77.6196905 (lat, long).
(I did a quick search and didn't find an online guide to sun / shade and seats at this particular place.)
So can you help me figure this out? The ideal solution could take any stadium and predict where the sun and shadows will be at 1PM on June 11.
Search on!

SunEarth Tools
I searched Frontier Field, Rochester. And site gives results. Page shows different modes and still understanding how it works. If I understood correctly, you need seats in left garden. Shade will be in Plymouth Avenue
[frontier field shade seats] Doesn't provide verification
I tried different location. I understand that, according to SunEarth Tools: Shadows mean direction of the shadow produced for an object. And the direction of Sun rays. So I'll choose a seat from Home plate to third base

ReplyDeletetoo many variables - in my opinion - to find something that applies to any generic stadium…
for Frontier Field specifically — ground truth - hard to know the time of the photo… assume early in the day, but by 1:00 PM the awning area, toward the out field first base line
should be a safe bet… as the afternoon progresses the Sun should be setting behind the stands & the structure should provide shade for the spectators…

I searched [shaded seating frontier field]. Lots of hits with viewer comments. Your people would likely do well behind home team dugout according to various comments. Did not find a specific diagram or promoters map either.
ReplyDelete… missing my first post again… perhaps Dan is "throwing shade" & I should take the hint… so much for ground truth examples, enjoy the balls & strikes.
ReplyDelete•Frontier Field, late PM… orientation seems to show an abundance of shade in many spots… downtown Rochester still catching Sun
•swinging the 'big stick'
the stress of doing search on game day…
ReplyDelete…and it's 'Bat Day' to boot…
Hello Remmij! My first posts have been missing too. Luckily they appear some hours or days later.
DeleteI love your photo of Dr. Russell in the stadium. Specially because the girl (in the orange blouse) looking at Dr. Russell looks surprised and amazed. It's like he really is there!
He better get a move on. Scalper tix are going for as high as . . . $23 or so.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the "first posts being delayed." We seem to have found a bug in Blogger. I'll submit the ticket today.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dr. Russell. I think maybe the reason is that because you get as an email the approval request, maybe some of our posts are marked as spam. Good thing that we can re-publish the posts.
DeleteFrontier Field oriented for the spectator's comfort - with the sun setting behind the stands, there's probably decent shade in the afternoons…
ReplyDeleteharder on the outfielders though.
looking west, scoreboard entrance, Frontier Field - note sun positions/August photos

btw, how do they play with that on the field? — or do they take off before every game?

good for shade studies…
may have been Blogger-bugized again since this didn't appear before the post marked June 9, 2017 at 12:48 PM, even though it was submitted earlier…
ReplyDeletejust trying for continuity since - for me at least - one thing leads to another…

btw, the Frontier N227FR A320, Grizzly Bear is`Grizwald`, not to be confused with the A318 - N801FR, or the A320 - N211FR which share the Grizwald moniker… and even the same image, unlike N227FR, which is a different bear tail tale, but still 'Grizwald'…
or even Clark Griswold, common spellin', but different.
