Sunny side STM here. You will get zero complaints from me about a 5pm start.

(And, yes, I stayed in my seat until the clock read 00:00… long after most of the Hokie fans around me had left.)

May I ask why you do it?  Do you highly value sitting closer to midfield for the same price?  Don't you still have to look into the sun at 5pm to see the field?

Our seats are in 116 row R, which costs only $60 more for the whole season than similar seats on the sunny side (130 and 136).  The perspective from the 10 yard-line isn't ideal, but in my opinion, these are just about the best seats you can get on the shady side without paying the hefty "contribution" to the Buck Cardinal Club.  We were in the shade already at 12:30pm this past Saturday.  I tried the sunny side several years ago around the 35 yard-line and ended up squatting on the shady side for every game that didn't start at 7:30pm.  With the state of our program, shady side goal line seats have become easy to get.
