MixedSeat & section strategy
The first-base side generally gets more late-day shade, while outfield and upper sections can stay exposed. Club and lower-bowl locations shorten both the sun exposure and the concourse climb.

The park is relaxed and family-oriented, with the rock feature beyond center field and the Big A providing the strongest sense of place.
