What do you call a balcony above another balcony in a stadium? As you can see, there's 2 balconies, or balcony section separated by a LCD panels and I was wondering if these balconies were even called balconies. If they're not called balconies, what are they called and what do you call the upper-most balcony?

There isn't really a uniform word to specify a balcony above a balcony. If you look at seating charts of arenas they use various words to differentiate the upper balcony and the lower balcony:
Lower vs. Upper:
But generally Upper Level Balcony and Lower Level Balcony are good enough to differentiate, but might not match the specific stadiums official name for that section.
In addition other compound words would also work if there are more than two balconies:
Second Level Balcony
Second Tier Balcony
In British English, the top level balcony in a theatre is called "The gods", I guess because you are so high up it's like you are with the gods.
