Carolina Panthers Fan Fest Returns to Bank of America Stadium

The Carolina Panthers have confirmed the return of their annual Fan Fest at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, 2 August, offering fans a mix of on-field activity, entertainment, and community engagement.

This year’s event will feature an open training camp practice, autograph session, and a fireworks and laser display: all designed to deepen fan connections while raising funds for charity.

The schedule has been structured to maximise the matchday-style atmosphere. Gates open at 5:00 pm, with pre-practice entertainment beginning at 5:30 pm. Player warm-ups are scheduled for 6:30 pm, with practice commencing at 7:30 pm. The session wraps at approximately 8:45 pm, followed by player autographs and a post-practice fireworks and laser show.

To enhance the experience, the first 5,000 attendees will receive team roster flip cards. The Atrium Health Kids Zone will offer family-friendly activities such as a colouring wall and bubble stations.

In addition, select Personal Seat License (PSL) holders and junior fans will have the exclusive opportunity to take part in the helmet walk before practice: a targeted engagement strategy that rewards premium members and builds community involvement.

Following last year’s Fan Fest in Clemson, South Carolina, held to mark the franchise’s 30th anniversary, the event’s return to Charlotte reinforces its status as a key local activation.

Tickets are priced at USD 5, with all proceeds donated to Carolina Panthers Charities. The accessible pricing ties attendance directly to community benefit, supporting the team’s broader social impact efforts.

PSL owners from both the Panthers and Charlotte FC were given early access to ticket sales, encouraging cross-sport loyalty across Tepper Sports & Entertainment properties.
