    How sun and shade work at Beaver Stadium

    Explore modeled sunlight and shade for sections listed in the 2026 Beaver Stadium seating chart, including north and west decks. The calculator accounts for approximate stadium structures and game times.

    How accurate is the result?

    The 2026 construction footprint is approximate and future seasons may use different seating configurations; this model restricts supported dates. Cloud cover, temporary structures, and surrounding objects are not fully represented.
