Is there shade at ABC Supply Stadium?

For a September 1:10 PM day game at ABC Supply Stadium, the sun sits 50° up in the south at first pitch, so shade means getting under the grandstand roof or the deck above you. Sunset is 7:05 PM local, so an evening game gets real shade as the sun drops. By 7:05 PM the sun is already down and the whole park is shaded.

Sun and shade at ABC Supply Stadium: a small-park guide for Beloit

At 3,850 seats, ABC Supply Stadium is one of the more intimate stops in the High-A Midwest, and that smallness works in your favor when the sun is out. In a park this size nothing is far from the concourse, moving to a better seat is usually easy, and a little bit of grandstand cover goes a long way. The Sky Carp, the Miami Marlins' High-A affiliate, play most of their summer schedule at night, which is the other thing working in your favor.

The July evening timeline in Beloit

Mid-July sunset in Beloit comes at 8:31 PM. A game that starts between 6:35 and 7:05 spends roughly its first half in daylight, but the sun is fading fast the whole time: by 7 PM it is only about 14 degrees above the horizon, sitting in the west-northwest. Sun that low is bright and annoying if it is in your face, and completely harmless if anything at all stands between you and it, a roofline, a scoreboard, the back of the grandstand. By the middle innings the whole park is typically in shadow, and southern Wisconsin evenings cool off nicely after that.

We have not verified which direction the field at ABC Supply Stadium faces, so we will stay honest about what that means: we cannot tell you which numbered sections shade first. The rule that always holds is that seats with their backs to the west-northwest are comfortable at first pitch, and seats staring into it are not. The satellite shadow view at the top of this page shows the park's actual shadows for your exact game time, which settles the question better than guesswork.

Day games are a different animal

Sunday and getaway-day afternoon games put you under a much tougher sun. At a 1:10 start in July the sun stands 69 degrees high, almost due south, high enough that facing direction barely matters and overhead cover is everything. In an open single-deck park, that means the shaded seats at midday are whichever back rows sit under the grandstand roof, if your section has one, plus the concourse. Wisconsin in July is warm but rarely punishing; still, treat a day game like the outdoor afternoon it is, with sunscreen and water, especially for kids.

The practical play

For a night game at ABC Supply Stadium, almost any seat becomes pleasant by the fourth or fifth inning, the question is only how much of the first hour you spend in sun. For a day game, hunt cover or embrace the bake. Either way, check the shadow view for your date before you buy; Beloit's long summer evenings mean the answer changes more between a 1:10 and a 7:05 start than it does between any two seats in the park.
