Yah - depending on how high up you are determines when you get shade, but you're on the west side, which means the sun will likely be behind you and blocked for much of the game.
Nt sure re: elevator, but I think there is a handicapped access elevator on both sides of the stadium for upper deck seats.
IMO, the best place to park is Central HS. It's less than a mile away, easy access to and from the stadium, and you can take the back way out of the parking lot and miss all of the 15th St traffic. Or you could until I posted this. :biggrin2:
