9 reviews for Bank of America Stadium
In my limited NFL experiences, I declare BOA Stadium to be a wonderful sports venue, regularly filled by amiable Panther's fans.
I attended a Broncos/Panthers game earlier this season, and had an all around great time. As a Broncos fan, I felt it was important to really make myself seen, thus I wore a bright orange Broncos jersey in awesome Panther's seats.
Despite my overt disregard for the home team, all the comments that I received from rival fans were in good spirits, and never abrasive or threatening (perhaps this was due to the fact that the Broncos got destroyed by the Panthers, and further embarrassment was not necessary).
Beers and food are expensive as hell, but hey its a pro sports game.
Comparatively, ticket prices are not ridiculous. The face value of my amazing seats was $90, while at a home Broncos game these would have easily been $200+. Thus you can be an NFL fan in Charlotte without needing the corner office.
All in all, I was impressed with the experience. I came in as a boisterous away fan and left with a great time.
Only been here once for the Meineke Car Care Bowl on an overcast late December day.
It was a stadium, no more, no less.
Oddly there were tons of unsold David Carr Panthers' jerseys in the club shop. Wait, there's nothing odd about that. In fact, if you're the three people out there that spent $80+ on Carr's jersey, please allow me to introduce you to my uncle who is a prince in Nigeria and has to bequeath his fortune.
I think it's magic that this place can be in the middle of uptown and somehow, wildly, I've never been caught in game-day traffic. I was horrified to think of the quagmire it could have created, but even though Charlotte's roads have that bowl-of-spaghetti kind of organization, it's really never been that bad.
I have been to a few Panthers games. I'm not a football fan...not at all...but the games are always fun here. I like walking around uptown in the vicinity before and after as well, as there are always a lot of interesting characters hanging out.
The food in the stadium is overpriced, just like the food in every stadium, but it's not shockingly overpriced. The crowd is always hype, and it's fun to go out and find a spot where Charlotte really comes together. We can be a kind of hodgepodge, soulless city, but you get a sense of who we are at the Panthers games.
This stadium does its job well, without trying too hard. I've been to both Panthers & college fball games here, & have been happy with all of my trips to BofA Stadium.
The stadium looks impressive & towering from the outside, and still fits nicely within the landscape of Charlotte. Once inside the stadium, nothing is too impressive, just your normal modern stadium concourse. The lower seating bowl, not surprisingly, offers great seating & close to the action views. But if you're upper level, don't expect much; you'll be inside the stadium but feel so far away. I've also sat in a suite & expect to be quite impressed here, as you'll get your fair share of food & drink with a nice view through a large open window.
The play on the field goes into my rating because it's the reason people actually go to this venue. When the Panthers are having a good season. expect a pretty good fan base that isn't too loud, but can get there when they need to. If it's a bad season though, expect a pretty subdued atmosphere that won't make you feel like you're at an NFL game. BofA isn't going to blow you away with gameday atmosphere, but it also won't disappoint.
BofA Stadium does its job by providing a great place to watch a game. But don't expect anything to overly impress you, just expect it to keep you content & happy.
Went to my first Panthers' game the other day; real good time, actually, even though I couldn't care less about the Panthers. It seems I'm the only one who doesn't: the place was, to my surprise, absolutely packed with Panther's fans. Pretty good for a team that's only been around for, what, ten years?
On game day, the stadium is absolutely surrounded and consumed by tailgating fans; during the rest of the week, it stands there, right outside of downtown, quiet and lonely looking. I guess that can be said of a lot of stadiums, though.
As for the place itself, really good facilities and pretty good crappy stadium food--hotdogs, pretzels, beers, that kinda stuff. But it actually wasn't as expensive as I'd feared. Pretty reasonable, in fact, which is a rarity.
And the fans were well-behaved and fun. Definitely a nice, family-friendly atmosphere. And there are always tickets available, so check it out.
Well it's no longer Erisson it is Bank of America Stadium which is fitting since BOA is headquarted in the city. Home of the Panthers the stadium is awesome. My brother owned seats here for several seasons and I was fortunate enough to use them many times. If you can imagine ATT Park in SF as a football venue then that would be accurate. Lots of food options, Sir Purr, and the cheerleaders. My brother got into his first fight here with an out of control drunk. He ended up with a broken wrist. Way to go bro! Best part of the game is afterwards on the walk to the car, the fans are unbelievable. Go Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked this stadium a lot when I went. I did not find that many great places nearby to eat but if you go to downtown Charlotte there are tons of great places. Parking was not hard to come by and you can get pretty close for $10. I found soe good stuff on http://KnowYourVenue.com...here is a link to the info there.

Bank of America Stadium is home to my favorite sports team The Panthers. If you are from out of town and you have never been here, expect a good time. It is pretty easy to score tickets outside of the stadium even during a sold out game and there is plenty of great food and tailgating going on. With great players like Julius Peppers and Steve Smith, you can expect some pretty rowdy fans. Every seat in the stadium is a good one, even the nosebleeds, just make sure to bring a pair of binoculars. I would recommend staying away from the extra rowdy fans, because I have ran into plenty of people here that have had entirely too much to drink. Besides that there are a lot of fun loving football fans at all of the Panthers games.
This is now Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers. I will admit that I am a Panthers loyalist but that's not what this is about. There are plenty of stadiums known for the poor treatment of visiting team fans, the Philadelphia Eagles have a courtroom built in to theirs, but you won't have to worry about that in Charlotte. Panthers fans are still new to this whole NFL thing and it shows. Unlike a Tarheels game, visiting fans are treated like guests, it's disgusting. And don't worry if you're team is losing, Panthers fans are also known for trying to do the wave while their team is on offense (when you're supposed to be silent). I once saw a Panthers fan congratulate the opposing teams fan on a touchdown, terrible.
The stadium food is pretty great with the addition of Carolina BBQ to the menu but surprisingly, you can't smoke in your seat. Also, don't worry about missing church, there is a prayer said before the game.
WARNING: Do not try to tailgate with the majority of the people before the game. Too much wine and cheese can make you sick. Also, once Panthers fans get drunk the mood can shift quickly (they are still southerners after all) and you can quickly become an enemy, not because your team is winning but because you are "too prideful" about it and some may feel the need to "defend their honor" (especially if you're from the North, you know how it is). I once saw a woman (an Eagles fan) get punched by a female Panthers fan wearing a team color Doctor Seuss hat, an all around weird experience.
Overall, this stadium gets a high score for you and depresses me.
