Redskins badge becomes first partner badge to “level up”

Foursquare users have been leveling up by way of expertise badges for the better part of a year now. Those are all “core” badges, created and released by foursquare. Today we’re getting a glimpse at the first partner badge that offers users the ability to level up, courtesy of the Washington Redskins.

Each time users who follow the Redskins check in to a home game at FexEx Field, they’ll achieve a new level of the badge (up to 10, apparently). The unlock text reads:

Hail to Victory! You’ll unlock Level 2 once you’ve hit up 2 Washington Redskin games at FedEx Field.

The levels make a fun way for fans to show just how dedicated they are to their favorite team. They could also potentially be used to offer a premium incentive to badge-holders who’ve attained at least a certain level. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more partner badges add levels in the coming months.

The Redskins were the first pro sports team to offer a badge way back in 2010.

What do you think of levels for partner badges?

    do you have a sense for if the only time you can levelup is on a sunday at the stadium during the game? is that even possible? what about if i do a drive-by checkin to the stadium on a wed night?

      It should only be unlockable during games, and thus should only level up during games as well.

    Doesn’t work. Already had badge from last year. Already checked in at 2 home games this year, no level up.
