FAU's Student Union Outdoor Stage earns a 78 percent overall shade score in our model for a typical 7:00 PM show, a solid result for an open-air venue in South Florida. The stage points north-northeast toward its audience, which has the Boca Raton crowd facing south-southwest, keeping the evening sun off to the right side rather than dead ahead. By showtime the sun sits west-northwest at about 15 degrees, and it sets at 8:15 PM in high summer.
Section 201 tops the venue at 92 percent shaded across an evening show, with 101 at 90 and 202 at 89. Pit 3 and pavilion sections 111 and 212 all grade out at 88 percent. Any of those puts the sun firmly in the background of your night.
One pavilion section bucks the trend: 207 lands among the sunniest spots at 69 percent shaded. The open grass runs just below it, Lawns 4, 5, and 6 each measure 63 percent, which translates to a sunny first stretch that fades steadily and disappears entirely by 8:15 PM. Boca Raton sun deserves respect even at a low angle, so the lawn's first hour is sunscreen-and-water territory.
Measured from 6:00 PM the venue-wide figure is 53 percent shaded, so the early wait is the brightest part of the evening at the Student Union Outdoor Stage. If your ticket is reserved, there's no rush; if you're claiming lawn space, the sun is the cost of a good spot, and it's a cost that expires at sunset.
