Ready for a close look at the changes coming to Bank of America Stadium? Tepper Sports & Entertainment — which owns the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC — unveiled plans for a new Bank of America Stadium Experience Center, an immersive office and sales hub coming to Legacy Union in Uptown.

The privately funded 15,700-sqft space is expected to open before the Panthers’ 2026 season. Inside, you’ll find a replica club lounge, team history timelines, and an “Immersive Cube” where fans can step into renderings and explore what’s ahead for the stadium.

Phase one of renovations kicks off later this year, starting with electrical, plumbing, and ventilation upgrades. The full project runs through 2030, with fan-facing upgrades arriving in 2027 — think new video boards, LED displays, and additional seating options. Here’s a refresher on the project, which was approved by Charlotte City Council in June 2024.
