700 Level

Encyclopedia : 7 : 70 : 700 : 700 Level

The 700 Level refers to the cheap seats in the upper deck of Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. Usually the most rowdy fans were there, especially at Philadelphia Eagles games and to a lesser extent Philadelphia Phillies games. In his book, If Football's a Religion, Why Don't We Have a Prayer?, Jere Longman described the 700 level as having a reputation for "hostile taunting, fighting, public urination and general strageness." Due to an increase in security and a lower tolerance for fan misbehavior, there is no equivalent in either Lincoln Financial Field or Citizens Bank Park. The name has also been the inspiration for websites relating to Philadelphia sports, as well as a weekly "Letters to the Editor" section in the Sunday Sports pages of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
