Where is the best place to sit for shade, while still being close to the field?

Home plate faces Southeast at Comerica Park, so the sun will be at your back if you choose seats on the 1B side of the field. Terrace Sections 112-117 are well-covered by the mezzanine and an ideal choice for staying out of the sun Some of the best options for shade on the lower level of the ballpark will be in the last 10 rows of sections 112-117 as the seats are protected by the overhanging Mezzanine deck above (these sections are located between first base and the right field foul pole).

Terrace vs Tiger Den Seats
