About the Panthers
On October 26, 1993, NFL owners unanimously selected Carolina as the 29th NFL franchise and the first expansion team since 1976. Fireworks exploded over uptown Charlotte as jubilant fans gathered to celebrate the news.
Across the Carolinas, support for an NFL expansion team poured in at an unprecedented rate. The Bank of America Stadium in Center City Charlotte is the home of the Carolina Panthers, and can hold 73,298 fans! While the Panthers ended the 2006 season 8-8, they are ready to tackle the 2007 season full force!
