The 700 Level
Body:
The 700 level was not simply a section for Philadelphia fans to cheer for their Eagles in the decrepit, and now demolished, Veterans Stadium. The cheapest seats at the Vet, it embodied the character of Philadelphia — hard working, banged-up, but passionate and loyal to a fault. The men and women in the 700 level lived on mostly limited means, but would not think twice about working that extra overtime shift or adding that second job just for the chance to spend one afternoon screaming at the top of their lungs for a team that consistently disappointed.
