Carolina Panthers

Team history

Carolina Panthers

The Carolina Panthers are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Panthers compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) South division. The Panthers were announced as the league’s 29th franchise in 1993, and began play in 1995. After the NFL’s expansion to 32 teams in 2002, the Panthers were relocated from the NFC West to the newly created NFC South division.

It is the home facility and headquarters of the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League and Charlotte FC of Major League Soccer. The stadium opened in 1996 as Ericsson Stadium before Bank of America purchased the naming rights in 2004 under 20-25-year agreement, worth $140 million.
