The Panthers have played at Bank of America Stadium since 2004 and they will continue playing there for years to come.
The team and the bank announced a multi-year extension of the naming rights agreement on Thursday. That agreement is one of the longest-running naming rights deals in the league and it comes as a significant renovation of the stadium takes place.
Funding for the project was established in 2024 when the city of Charlotte agreed to spend $650 million of the $800 million renovation. On Thursday, the Panthers announced that owner David Tepper will spend an additional $500 million toward the project. Tepper Sports and Entertainment has also agreed to pay for any overages in the now $1.3 billion venture.
"The long-term extension with Bank of America reflects the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to the Carolinas," Tepper said in a statement. "For over three decades, Bank of America Stadium has helped create lasting memories for our fans and we're excited for them to see what's ahead. Our goal is to create experiences that enhance the passion and energy of the region while transforming this corridor into a weekend destination for world-class sports, entertainment and community events."
In addition to upgrading the stadium, the project will also include the construction of a 4,400-seat entertainment venue. The Panthers will remain at home through the renovation, which will focus on interior work in 2026 before moving on to fan-facing areas in 2027.
