So my thoughts are if you have an absolutely blank sheet of paper to build your brand new entertainment venue you should be able to easily orient the structures to take advantage of the physical laws of nature. The Druids did it.
Why can't the Villages? Have the stage on the NE side not the SW side. This is March. In the summer it is going to get really miserable.

Interesting observation.
Maybe it will get better as the sun sets later and further south.
