Is there shade at John Cain Arena?

For a July midday session at John Cain Arena, the sun sits 30° up in the north as play begins, so shade means the covered stands, a closed retractable roof, or waiting for the sun to drop behind the far stand. Sunset is 5:19 PM local: an evening session gets real shade as the sun drops — by 7:05 PM the sun is already down and the whole court is shaded.

How much do we know?

We know this court's orientation and roof, but not a verified seat-by-seat map, so we won't colour individual sections. What's above is exact: the sun's astronomical position for the court's coordinates and timezone. The interactive page adds the live sun compass, sunset against session time, and the hour-by-hour forecast.
