Ready for some football? The Carolina Panthers may not have made the playoffs, but the Queen City can still relish in the Super Bowl fun. Charlotte is one of 30 cities selected to host Verizon’s Super Bowl FanFest.

“Super Bowl LIX is the most anticipated sporting event of the year but few get to experience it in person; we wanted to bring that collective excitement and energy to fans across the country with once-in-a-lifetime access they’ll never forget,” said Leslie Berland, the Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Verizon.

The celebration at BofA will feature on-field access, live music, food from local chefs, and meet-and-greets with Jonathan Stewart, Sir Purr and the Top Cats, and fellow NFL legends.

Editor’s note: The event is free but exclusive to Verizon customers + a select number of guests.

FanFest kicks off Sunday, Feb. 9 at 4 p.m nationwide before the big game starts at 6:30 p.m.
