    Eagles investigating reports of stadium ramps swaying
    October 9, 2006

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles are investigating reports from fans that ramps leading from the upper level of Lincoln Financial Field swayed as the crowd exited Sunday's game with the Dallas Cowboys.

    The team received reports of movement in the northeast ramp leading from the upper level following Sunday's 38-24 victory over the Cowboys, team spokeswoman Bonnie Grant said.

    Grant described the movement as "lateral vibration," which she said can occur when "exceptional conditions are in place, including a driving force of pedestrian traffic."

    "At no time was the public in danger," Grant said in a statement. "This type of movement does not pose a threat to the structure. The ramps are inspected regularly and have been tested by structural engineers. "

    Grant said the team will keep a log of all calls about the incident and respond to those fans. She also said the team will look at surveillance tape of the area.

    The Eagles will continue to monitor the ramp, Grant said.

    Probably just a side effect of all the beer. I know the world seems to sway when I've drank too much.
