Anyone tried VR outside?

So I'm planning to do a big dive into VR when the time is right, when I manage to acquire a large enough private land that I can build a fence around for VR gaming, basically a VR studio so to speak.

Anyway, I was wondering how many of you if any have tried VR outside and how it went? For the VR stadium I'll be building, it'll have a transparent roof with a stype of shelf to put a PC on there above me, so I can just use the highest end headset on the highest end PC without issue.
Well, there is the maybe issue of wireless, but I'm hoping there's gonna be, or already is? An option for that.

the sun/moisture will fry your headset, the lenses are not built for that

I would absolutely do it under the shade of some sort of roof, even if outside. I have a feeling the high amount of natural light would make the sensors less reactive.

Other than that it should be fine.

There are about a half dozen VR games I consider must-plays, but i've named them to death in the VR section

I do lengthy sessions of Beat Saber outside on my deck couple times a week on my Quest 3 for exercise but I'm extremely careful to put it on indoors and take it off indoors. No lens exposure to sunlight.
