Shade at Baylor McLane Stadium

[alUmnUs]

Most Utah fans going to the game probably already have tickets, but if you don’t or are worried about sitting in open exposure to the hellish inferno that Mother Nature is cooking up in Waco this weekend, here’s a helpful photographic reference to where shaded seating can be found.

Most of the pics on the site appear to have been taken pre-game from BYU’s visit to Baylor on October 16, 2021. Kickoff time for that game was 2:30pm CT. So, if anything, this gives an idea of what areas are likely to stay shaded from an 11am CT kickoff and where the sun will be positioned soon after the end of the game. Press box is west side of the stadium. Open berm area is the south side of the stadium.

The sun is going to be nearly overhead from the due south for most of the game (solar noon is 1 pm CDT). The stadium is oriented a bit toward NW-SE rather than straight N-S, so sections on the SW side (100-108) should see some shade, at least in the 2nd half. There is an awning on the upper deck, so some shade directly under that.
