Good news: it's a dome

U.S. Bank Stadium has a fixed roof, every seat is covered and climate-controlled, so sun and shade simply aren't a factor. Buy on price, view and budget. (Our tool still models it, and will cheerfully tell you everything is shaded.)

1pm vs. 4pm vs. night games

Indoors it makes no difference, but parking lots and tailgates are another story. Bring sunscreen for the pregame, not the game.
