I've sat this that shade, maybe not at that specific stadium but certainly at tennis matches where I've followed the sun and moved with the shade. In fact, if we started school a week or two later in the year, I'd likely be doing it for a week in August at the Cincinnati Open.
Sadly the picture isn't quite right in that the second row would need to be eight seats wide compared to only two seats for the first row. Or maybe four seats compared to one with people sitting on each other's laps to represent the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
All that would need the shadow line to be shallower, more of a 15 or 20 degree angle rather than the 45 that's in this picture.
But then the sun wouldn't be as bright and harsh when it was that low in the sky meaning that the people likely wouldn't be seeking out the sun as overtly and urgently.
So maybe it's best not to question this but rather to chuckle at it and move on.
And definitely don't go listening to the "Electron Configuration Polka" by Michael Offutt.
