Snowden Grove's amphitheater grades out at 90 percent shaded across a typical 7 PM show, a strong score for an open-air venue, and the product of a favorable layout. The stage at BankPlus Amphitheater fronts northwest, so the crowd in Southaven faces back to the southeast, with the low evening sun angling in from behind the seating bowl rather than into anyone's eyes.
Pit 1 and Pit 2 measure 99 percent shaded across the event, and sections 104, 105, 204, and 205 all come in at 97. Even from 6 PM, the harsher accounting that includes the pre-show hour, the venue overall holds 70 percent shade.
What passes for exposure here is modest: Lawn 7 at 77 percent shaded, section 213 at 76, Lawn 8 at 75, and Lawn 9 at 68. On the sunniest grass you'd take roughly a third of the early evening in direct light, with the sun about 13 degrees up in the west-northwest at showtime and gone by 8:14 PM. The heat is the bigger opponent: a Mississippi July stays hot and humid long after sunset, so the water-and-light-clothes advice applies to every section of BankPlus Amphitheater, shaded or not.
