Shaded Seats at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark

What You Need to Know About Shade at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark

Located in the Bricktown District of Oklahoma City, this stadium is the home of the Oklahoma City Comets (Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers).

The ballpark is known for its classic red-brick design and intimate seating. The Northeast stadium orientation is intentional to keep the majority of fans comfortable during the hot Oklahoma summers, with the large grandstand on the west and south sides casting significant shadows by the time evening games begin.

The Third Base Side is Best for Shade

Because of the stadium orientation, the sun begins the day behind the first base stands and tracks over the stadium, eventually setting behind the third base grandstand in the late afternoon.

This specific alignment ensures that the third base side becomes the primary shield against the sun as the game progresses.

• Sections 104 – 107: These sections on the third base side offer some of the most reliable shade during mid-afternoon starts. Stick to the upper rows to get protection from the roof.
• Sections 108 – 112: This is behind home plate, where you get the added benefit of protection from the stadium’s press box.
• Sections 200 – 203: This upper-level section on the third base side has roof protection directly above it.

• Premium Options: The Newcastle Casino Club and the suites located behind the press box offer climate-controlled environments for those looking to escape the heat entirely.

Late Afternoon and Evening Shade

By the late afternoon, the shadow from the third base grandstand begins to stretch across the infield.

For a typical evening game, sections 104 – 110 will be completely shaded before first pitch. As the game progresses into the evening, the shade will eventually cover the pitcher’s mound and move toward the first base side.

However, fans on the first base side should still expect to deal with direct sunlight and glare until very late in the match.
