Tepper Sports & Entertainment announced plans on Monday for significant renovations at Bank of America Stadium, stating that the decades-old facility “needs to evolve” to fulfill the organization’s future needs.
As the home stadium for the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC since 1996, the proposed renovations ensure that both teams will remain in Uptown Charlotte without requiring a temporary relocation for new stadium construction.
