I quickly navigated over to cooler shaded areas as there were no ushers in the area that were checking tickets. �

There is some amount of netting or screening in front of sections 117-126. The height and coverage of netting or screening will vary by section.

One of the best places for shade at a Jays game is in the 200 level on the third base side of the field. Sections like 227-231 typically receive protection from the sun - even during day games.
In most 200 level sections, covered seating begins at Row 8. While the roof provides protection on rainy days, the overhang can help fans stay cool on hot days.

Shade on the 200 Level
The Rogers Centre offers shaded seating for nearly every price range. Among the best shaded seats for an afternoon game are located on the 200 level. These seats are well-known for their impressive viewing height and quality sitelines towards the field. Sections 225-244 will be in the sun the longest among these seats, while only the higher rows on the first base side will see coverage during a day game.
Seats Closer to the Field
If you prefer being closer to the field, your options are more limited. Again, you'll want to start your search on the 3B side of the field. By late afternoon, all of these seats will be covered, but only the highest rows will be covered during all nine innings.
Shaded Seats on a Budget
For fans whose budget is a little tighter, nearly all outfield seats in fair territory are shaded by the roof - even when it is open. On the lower level, this is sections 101-108 and 135-142. On the 200 level, consider 204-208 and 240-244. And on the upper level, sections 504-506 and 542-544 are protected from the elements.
