Bank of America Stadium 🇺🇸

Home of: The Carolina Panthers (NFC South)

Located in the Uptown section of Charlotte, North Carolina, Bank of America Stadium is the home facility and headquarters of the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC. Known locally as "BOA" or "The Bank," this classic American stadium opened in 1996 and features an open-air bowl design surrounded by acres of trees and landscaping. With a capacity of 75,037, the venue boasts impressive external architecture that resembles a grand fortress, incorporating team colors of black, process blue, and silver.

When you visit, you will notice six larger-than-life bronze panther statues named "Indomitable Spirit" flanking the three main entrances, complete with striking green eyes, alongside bronze statues honoring franchise figures Mike McCormack and Sam Mills. Rebuilt LED light domes top the main entrances, projecting vivid process blue across the structure. Beyond hosting every Panthers regular season and playoff home game since 1996, the stadium serves as the host venue for the annual Duke's Mayo Bowl and the ACC Championship Game.

Renovations over the years have enhanced your game-day experience with massive HD video boards, tall ribbon boards, surround sound, and upper-deck escalators, making it a comfortable destination to cheer on Carolina football.
