Stadium Information
Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, opened in 1996 and stands in the heart of uptown Charlotte. Designed as a classic open‑air football venue, the stadium seats around seventy‑four thousand fans and features a natural grass playing surface reinforced for year‑round durability. Its exterior blends stonework, arches, and reflective glass, giving the venue a distinctive profile that fits within Charlotte’s growing skyline. Over the years, major renovations have upgraded video boards, lighting, concourses, and fan amenities while preserving the stadium’s traditional bowl structure.
Matchdays at Bank of America Stadium reflect both Southern football culture and the modern energy of Charlotte. Fans gather throughout the surrounding entertainment district, tailgating in designated lots or filling nearby bars before walking to the stadium. Inside, noise builds quickly during NFC South clashes, helped by steep seating decks that maintain strong sightlines. Concessions offer a mix of stadium classics and Carolina-inspired dishes, while club levels and premium lounges provide enhanced hospitality options. The stadium has also become a key site for international soccer exhibitions and large-scale events.
Access to the stadium includes major roadways, the city’s light-rail system, bus routes, and numerous parking garages across uptown. Walkability is a notable advantage, with many fans approaching on foot from nearby districts. Accessibility features include step-free entry points, ramps, elevators, wheelchair seating platforms, adapted toilets, and dedicated guest-services teams. The surrounding area offers parks, museums, restaurants, and other pre- and post-game options.
Bank of America Stadium remains central to the Panthers’ identity, combining tradition, city-centre convenience, and an atmosphere that continues to grow with Charlotte’s rapid development.
