Are you ready for some football? For the first time in Carolina Panthers’ history, the team is kicking off Training Camp in Uptown on Wednesday, July 24.
Fans are invited to attend 14 free practices at the practice fields outside Bank of America Stadium from now through Thursday, Aug. 15. The sessions end with a joint practice with the New York Jets ahead of the teams’ preseason game on Saturday, Aug. 17.
If you secured your free tickets, here’s everything you need to know:
Where do I park?
Parking spots in garages surrounding Bank of America Stadium can be pre-booked ahead of Training Camp.
There’s also metered on-street parking. If public transportation is more your speed, the Light Rail can be utilized with stops at the Carson, Stonewall, and Convention Center stations.
Entrance
Camp begins at 9:30 a.m. General admission ticket entry will be at the main entrance (705 W. 4th St.). Gates open at 8:30 a.m.
What is there to do?
Expect photos with the athletes, get autographs, snack on concessions, and take part in fan activities.
Are tickets still available?
Free tickets are still available for “Back Together Saturday,” on July 27 at Bank of America Stadium. Fans can enjoy performances by the TopCats, Purrcussion, and Sir Purr.
What about Fan Fest?
Fan Fest will be at Clemson University in South Carolina on Thursday, Aug. 1 to celebrate the team’s 30th season. Tickets are still available for $5 with proceeds benefiting Carolina Panthers Charities.
The doors open at 5:30 p.m. and guests can expect a fireworks show after practice.
Editor’s note: City Editors Jack and Maria will be attending the first practice session + Fan Fest — we hope you’ll say hi.
