This arena was built by the Zeppelin Airship Company in honor of Baron von Zeppelin, the creator of the rigid airship and founder of the company. Nicknamed "The Stairway" by duelists and fans, the Zeppelin Arena runs a regular schedule from April to October with cars, cycles, and trikes. The arena is part of the Olde World Circuit.

Arena Features:

The outer walls are 105 feet high and have 200 DP. Fans watch the action via close-curcuit screens in the 40,000 capacity grandstands. All the gates (10 feet high, 15 DP) enter on the lower level. They will open when rammed.
    The various levels are supported by the arena walls and are indestructible. Each level is 15 feet higher than the previous one. Ramps are indestructible and are set at a 22-degree angle, so jumps are impossible on them. Since the levels are supported by the walls, the ground level is mostly clear. Drivers can go under the ground-level ramps except for the first two game inches said ramps begin. The arena floor is paved.
    Due to the various levels and their heights, the use of univeral turrets is recommended. Jumping between levels, however, is not recommended due to the height and distances involved. Only going a high speed is such level-jumping is possible, but duelists must remember the restrictive amount of space on each level when contemplating such jumps.
    Universally-turreted blast cannons are placed on all levels of the arena (located in the corners of each level platform). The blast cannons are used to enforce arena rules and to keep rowdy duelists in check. Any duelist within one inch of the edge of any level can fire up, or down, onto another level.
    The Zeppelin Beer Hall, located right next to the arena, can service up to 2,000 thirsty fans and provides coverage of arena events via closed-curcuit television. Duelists can be found here before and after events, usually discussing duels and signing autographs.

Higher and Higher - duelists score points for kills, modified by the level that such kills are made on.
