The lowest, or "100 Level", extended only part way around the structure, between roughly the 25-yard lines for football games and near the two <a href="/wiki/Dugout_(baseball)" title="Dugout (baseball)">dugouts</a> for baseball. The "200 Level" comprised field-level boxes, and the "300 Level" housed what were labeled "Terrace Boxes". These three levels collectively made up the "Lower Stands". The "400 Level" was reserved for the press and dignitaries; the upper level began with "500 Level" (or "loge boxes"), the "600 Level" (upper reserved, or individual seats), and finally, the highest, the "700 Level" (general admission for baseball). Originally, the seats were in shades of brown, terra cotta, orange and yellow, to look like an autumn day, but in 1995 and 1996, blue seats replaced the fall-hued ones. </p><p>At one time, the stadium could seat over 71,000 people for football, but restructuring in the late 1980s—including removal of several rows of the 700 Level around most of the stadium to accommodate construction of the Penthouse Suites—brought capacity down to around 66,000. </p><p>The stadium was harshly criticized by baseball purists. Even by multipurpose stadium standards, the upper deck was exceptionally high, and many of the seats in that area were so far from the field that it was difficult to see the game without <a href="/wiki/Binoculars" title="Binoculars">binoculars</a>. Like most of its contemporaries, <a href="/wiki/Foul_ball" title="Foul ball">foul territory</a> was quite roomy. Approximately 70% of the seats were in fair territory, adding to the stadium's cavernous feel. There was no dirt in the infield except for sliding pits around the bases, and circular areas around the pitcher's mound and home plate. In the autumn, the football markings were clearly visible in the spacious outfield area. While the stadium's size enabled the Phillies to shatter previous attendance records, during the years the Phillies were not doing as well, even crowds of 35,000 looked sparse. </p><p>The stadium had been known for providing both the Eagles and the Phillies with great <a href="/wiki/Home_advantage" title="Home advantage">home-field advantage</a>. In particular, the acoustics greatly enhanced the crowd noise on the field, making it nearly impossible for opposing players to hear one another. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="700_Level">700 Level</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Veterans_Stadium&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: 700 Level"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The "700 Level", the highest and cheapest seats at Veterans Stadium, became well known for being home to the loudest, <a href="/wiki/Ultras" title="Ultras">rowdiest fans</a> at <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Eagles" title="Philadelphia Eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> games, and to a lesser extent, <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Phillies" title="Philadelphia Phillies">Philadelphia Phillies</a> games.

In several places, seams were clearly visible, giving it the nickname "Field of Seams". It perennially drew the ranking of the "NFL's worst field" in player surveys conducted by the <a href="/wiki/NFL_Players_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="NFL Players Association">NFL Players Association</a> (NFLPA), and visiting players often fell prey to the treacherous conditions resulting in numerous contact and non-contact injuries.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The NFLPA reportedly threatened to sue the city for the poor conditions, and many sports agents told the Eagles not to even consider signing or drafting their clients. The Eagles, for their part, complained to the city on numerous occasions about the conditions at the stadium. Baseball players also complained about the surface. It was much harder than other AstroTurf surfaces, and the shock of running on it often caused back pain. </p><p>Two of the most-publicized injuries blamed on the playing surface occurred exactly six years apart. On October 10, 1993, <a href="/wiki/Chicago_Bears" title="Chicago Bears">Chicago Bears</a> wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Wendell_Davis_(wide_receiver)" title="Wendell Davis (wide receiver)">Wendell Davis</a> had his cleats caught in a seam while he planted to jump for an underthrown bomb from QB <a href="/wiki/Jim_Harbaugh" title="Jim Harbaugh">Jim Harbaugh</a>, tearing both of his <a href="/wiki/Patella" title="Patella">patella</a> <a href="/wiki/Tendon" title="Tendon">tendons</a> and ending his career, barring a short-lived comeback attempt with the <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis_Colts" title="Indianapolis Colts">Indianapolis Colts</a> in 1995.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On October 10, 1999, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver <a href="/wiki/Michael_Irvin" title="Michael Irvin">Michael Irvin</a> suffered a neck injury against the Eagles at Veterans Stadium that proved to be his final play in the NFL and led to his premature retirement. </p><p>Long before Davis' and Irvin's injuries, <a href="/wiki/Cleveland_Browns" title="Cleveland Browns">Cleveland Browns</a> standout defensive tackle <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Sherk" title="Jerry Sherk">Jerry Sherk</a> contracted a near-fatal <a href="/wiki/Staph_infection" class="mw-redirect" title="Staph infection">staph infection</a> from the Veterans Stadium turf during a 1979 game. The infection forced him to miss 22 of the Browns' next 23 games and ended a run of nine and a half seasons in the Browns' starting lineup. Sherk never started again and retired in 1981. </p><p>In 2001, the original AstroTurf was eventually replaced by a new surface, NexTurf. It was far softer, and reportedly much easier on the knees.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the city crew that installed the new turf reportedly did not install it properly, resulting in seams being visible in several places. </p><p>The first football game on the new turf was scheduled to take place on August 13, 2001, when the Eagles were to play the <a href="/wiki/Baltimore_Ravens" title="Baltimore Ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> in a preseason game. However, Ravens coach <a href="/wiki/Brian_Billick" title="Brian Billick">Brian Billick</a> refused to let the Ravens take the field for warm-ups when he discovered a trench around an area where third base was covered up by a NexTurf cutout. City crews unsuccessfully tried to fix the problem, forcing the game to be canceled. Later, players from both teams reported that they sank into the turf in locations near the infield cutouts. The Eagles' team president <a href="/wiki/Joe_Banner" title="Joe Banner">Joe Banner</a> was irate after the game, calling the stadium's conditions "absolutely unacceptable" and "an embarrassment to the city of Philadelphia."<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> City officials, however, promised that the stadium would be suitable for play when the regular season started. </p><p>The problem was caused by heavy rain over the weekend prior to the game, which made the dirt in the sliding pits and pitcher's mound so soft that the cutouts covering them in the football configuration became mushy and uneven. Even when new dirt was shoveled on top, it quickly became just as saturated as the old dirt. The problem was solved by using asphalt hot mix, which allowed for a solid, level playing surface, but required a jackhammer for removal whenever the stadium was converted from football back to baseball (between August and October of each year). </p><p>In March 2023, investigative reporters from the <i><a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Inquirer" class="mw-redirect" title="Philadelphia Inquirer">Philadelphia Inquirer</a></i> bought souvenir samples of the old Veterans Stadium AstroTurf used from 1977 to 1981 and commissioned diagnostics through the Eurofins Environmental Testing laboratory.
