Section 217 is an alcohol-free zone, which makes it a particular strong option for families with children. For those who are not as budget conscious and want to be closer to the action, the 100-level sections and lower level sections behind the goals provide more intense game day atmospheres.<\/p>\n<h3>World Cup security and access points<\/h3>\n<p>Security will be significantly heightened during the World Cup compared to a Philadelphia Eagles game.
