Is there something called a "cantilever?" If not, someone should invent it. Seriously, a steep upper deck, protruding over the lower stands, casts a long shadow as afternoon progresses and, because of its steepness, is quickly in shadow itself. I think Duke's upper deck is more about luxury boxes than grandstands, but it should help the west side of the stadium a lot.
