Some sort of sun block roofing like a Sunbrella covering or who knows what would be a great relief to those sweltering in the sun. And no, wearing a hat helps a little, but only a little. This could be done for a few grand tops, and would really help with the “loving it” part.
I don’t want to go into a million ideas on the best type of sunblock, just want to know how does one communicate such an idea up the chain, or is it totally futile?

About a year ago all Villagers were sent a survey that was many pages long. Besides answering questions, part of it asked for input on how to improve TV. I made two suggestions. Since this is mainly a senior audience, can't seat backs be added to the bleachers at Brownwood. This would also aid when walking up and down the aisles as a handhold.
Second suggestion was after the pavers were installed at SS a couple of years ago they added umbrellas. With the large areas of concrete at LSL and no shade from bright sunlight except under the trees at the edge. I requested similar umbrellas be installed in the large open concrete areas or to cover the entire middle area with a sail type roof such as Pier 6 in Baltimore and many other outdoor pavillions.
I've never heard from back TV and as you can see, we still don't have shade at LSL or bleacher backs at BW.
