The heat wave next week that will develop in the eastern United States looks legit with a prolonged period of dangerously high temps in some areas. Exactly how extreme it is still TBD... but the maps in the article below show the risk ⤵️

Dodgers afternoon game. Lots of fans here on a Wednesday afternoon game. Beautiful day and I made sure to pick a seat in the shade. Let's go Dodgers! #LADodgers
@ThatBootlegGuy That's why seat choice is important. To the side of the ADA deck where my season tickets are there is a lovely shaded overhang. If it's hot I have shade. If it's raining I stay dry. When the seagulls descend I'm covered.
@jschwabish@jradavenport@Astro_Wright Yeah would be a great project. I'd love to do it but too much else on the plate. If you ever put anything up on Github give me a tag as I'd love to check it out.
@jschwabish@jradavenport@Astro_Wright Competing sites do have info about individual seats but most casual ball fans want to know which sections are shaded first then go buy tickets rather than picking a seat first and then cross-checking if it's in the shade.
@jschwabish@jradavenport@Astro_Wright Is building a model that takes day of year into account possible? Sure. Anything is possible. Probably too niche of an audience for the amount of work to be worth it though, especially if you're going to try to do all 29 parks (no need to do the Trop).
@jschwabish@jradavenport@Astro_Wright Of course even with those sites most of them are picking a single date in the summer as a proxy for the whole season. Seats in the shade for a 7:05pm game on July 1st are going to be different than a 7:05pm game on Sept 1st, etc.
