Bank of America Stadium
Charlotte
Seating, premium access, and matchday logistics for the home of the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC, in the heart of Uptown Charlotte. Guidance from an Austin-based ticket provider.
At a Glance
The essentials before you book anything — location, capacity, access, and what makes Bank of America Stadium one of the most walkable venues in the NFL.
The Experience
Opened in 1996 in the heart of Uptown Charlotte, Bank of America Stadium is a classic open-air NFL bowl with strong sightlines throughout — and one of the few NFL stadiums that also serves as a top-flight MLS venue, home to both the Panthers and Charlotte FC.
The Stadium
- Open-air bowl design — excellent sightlines from virtually every tier, with an intimate feel despite the 74,867-seat capacity
- Two large videoboards behind each end zone deliver strong replay coverage from every seat
- The Silver Club Level along the 300s sidelines is the premium zone — upscale dining, private lounges, and exclusive concourse access
- Home and visitor player tunnels sit between sections 106–107 and 136–137 — lower corner seats here get close player access during pre-game
- The 13-foot bronze panther statue, “Indomitable Spirit,” outside is a Charlotte landmark worth seeing before entering
Arrive Ready
- 90 minutes early for Panthers and Charlotte FC games — the Uptown location is walkable from many hotels, but road closures affect driving
- Open-air stadium — Charlotte weather varies by season; early-fall games can be hot, while November–January can be cold and wet. Check the forecast
- East-side sections (515–530) get the most sun; the west-side sideline is shadier for afternoon games
- The LYNX Blue Line light rail stops at Stonewall Station, a short walk away — it avoids all parking congestion
- The home tunnel between 106–107 gives close player access pre-game if that matters for your group
Events & Schedule
Home to the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC, with major concerts, college football, and international soccer rounding out a busy year-round calendar.
Carolina Panthers
- Full NFL home schedule from September through January
- Bank of America Stadium has been the Panthers’ home since their 1996 founding season
- An open-air experience — the atmosphere on sold-out Sundays is among the better environments in the NFC South
- The west-side lower sideline, closest to the Panthers bench, is the most in-demand non-premium position
Charlotte FC
- Full MLS season from spring through October — Charlotte FC joined MLS in 2022
- The Vault Suite is designed for Charlotte FC match days — all-inclusive with player tunnel access
- International soccer matches are also hosted here — the large capacity suits marquee fixtures
- The Silver Club Level works well for both Panthers and Charlotte FC — consistent premium across both sports
What’s On
- Major touring concerts — the large capacity makes it a top market stop
- College football — the ACC Championship and other marquee games
- International soccer friendlies and tournaments
- Special events — civic and entertainment programming
Pick Your Side
East-side sections (515–530) get the most daily sun. The west-side lower sideline (128–135) is shadier and behind the sun for afternoon games — worth factoring into seat selection for September and October kickoffs.
Tunnel Sections
The home tunnel sits between sections 106–107, the visitor tunnel between 136–137. Lower corner seats here are some of the most exciting pre-game positions in the building — players run out directly in front of you.

Three main tiers — 100 Level (lower), the Middle/Club level, and the 500 Level (upper) — each with sideline, corner, and end zone options. The Silver Club (300s sidelines) is the premium non-suite tier.
Suites & Premium Areas
A varied premium program — the Silver Club (most requested), the Gridiron Club (all-inclusive), the One Carolina Club (end-zone executive), the Silver Club Terrace (corner suite), and The Vault (Charlotte FC focused).
The Silver Club is the most-requested tier — perfect midfield elevation with full club amenities. Contact us early for high-demand Panthers and Charlotte FC matches.

The 13-foot bronze panther statue outside the stadium is a Charlotte landmark worth seeing up close before entering. South End is Charlotte’s best independent dining and bar district, a 15-minute light-rail ride from the stadium. NoDa (North Davidson) is the city’s arts and live-music corridor — the most characterful neighborhood for first-time visitors who want to see Charlotte beyond the tourist core.
Common Questions
First-time visitor answers, plainly stated.
Despite sitting on a similar physical tier, the 300-level club seats include Silver Club amenities — private lounges, upscale dining, and dedicated club concourse access — while the middle-level end-zone sections do not. The end-zone sections also have a different concourse entry, exiting from the bottom of the section rather than the top, so row selection matters more if you plan to visit the concourse often.
The west side — sections 128–135 on the lower sideline are significantly shadier and have the sun behind them for afternoon games. East-side sections 515–530 get the most daily sun. For a September or October 1 PM kickoff, the west-side lower sideline is worth choosing if your budget allows.
Yes — Bank of America Stadium is one of the most walkable NFL venues in the country. Most Uptown Charlotte hotels are within a 10–15 minute walk of the gates. For groups at the Omni, Westin, Marriott, or Hilton Uptown, walking is the best option — faster than any transit or rideshare on game day.
Sections 106–107 are adjacent to the home team tunnel, so players run out directly in front of these corner sections pre-game — a strong choice for groups who want close player access. Sections 136–137 sit at the visitor tunnel. Both are in the lower corners and offer a vantage point that pure sideline sections don’t provide.
Yes — the same building hosts both, and the Silver Club Level works equally well for an NFL Sunday or an MLS match night. The Vault Suite is purpose-built for Charlotte FC days with player-tunnel views. Tell us your date and which team, and we’ll match seating or premium to the event.
