After nearly a decade of existence, Bank of America
Stadium is one of the top stadiums in the NFL. In
1990, the NFL announced that it would expand to
thirty teams. Charlotte was one of the first cities
mentioned as a possible site for a new NFL team.
Fans in the area had always dreamed of having a
local NFL team. In 1993, that dream became a reality
when the NFL announced that Charlotte would receive
a franchise, to begin playing in 1995. The team
was named the Carolina Panthers. Construction began
immediately on a new stadium. Originally, Ericsson
Inc. bought the naming rights, and the stadium was
named Ericsson Stadium. In January 2004, the Panthers
and Bank of America agreed on a 20 year deal to
rename Ericsson Stadium, Bank of America Stadium.
When it opened it became one of only a few stadiums
to be financed privately by club owners. Bank of
America Stadium was not complete in time for the
1995 season. The Panthers had to play their inaugural
season at Memorial Stadium, home of the Clemson
Tigers (NCAA).
Bank of America Stadium was completed for the start
of the 1996 season. The Carolina Panthers played
their first game at the stadium on September 14,
1996. Bank of America Stadium is one of the NFL’s
premier stadiums from the outside to inside. Located
right outside of downtown Charlotte, the facade
of Bank of America Stadium is very unique. It consists
of massive archways, and domed towers. Bank of America
Stadium features a striking black obsidian granite
facade. A pair of black panthers, each eight-feet-tall,
and weighing 2,000 pounds, perched on ten-foot pedestals,
are located on both sides of each of the three 80-foot
arched entrances. The 48-foot diameter light domes
atop the entry towers are lit every night. The exterior
also looks like many other notable stadiums, such
as Soldier Field.
Bank of America Stadium consists of over 73,000
blue and silver seats in three tiers that circle
the playing field. The stadium has many amenities,
including the Bank of America club and 158 luxury
suites. Two massive scoreboards are located atop
the upper deck past each end zone. Bank of America
Stadium also includes three practice facilities,
training facilities, and administrative offices.
The Panthers hope to have years of success at Bank
of America Stadium.
