Bank of America Stadium Seating Map

Before buying Carolina Panthers tickets, compare the stadium's different seating levels and the end-zone and sideline views. Lower-level seats put you closer to the field, while upper-level sections offer a higher perspective and a broader view of the play. The club and suite areas provide a different experience, and access can depend on your ticket.

Bank of America Stadium seating map. Use your ticket's section number to locate the correct part of the stadium.

Premium seating includes 300- and 400-level areas such as the Suite Club and Silver Club. When comparing seats, check the exact section, row, entry gate, and whether club amenities are included. A ticket for a nearby section won't necessarily include the same access.

Panthers Cash Predictions

Sports prediction markets let fans buy and sell event contracts tied to outcomes, such as whether the Panthers will win their next game. A winning Yes contract generally settles at $1, while a losing one settles at $0. The price you pay determines your potential return and how much you can lose. It's another way to follow football, but prices aren't promises, and a wrong prediction can cost you the entire amount spent.

Sports predictions aren't for everyone, and we don't encourage anyone to participate if they're not prepared to lose a few bucks when their prediction is wrong. It's just as risky as it is fun! If you understand those risks and stick to money you can afford to lose, predicting that the Panthers will win can be a blast, especially when Carolina pulls off an upset nobody saw coming.

On October 4, 2026, Charlotte Vibes put about $20 on the underdog Panthers beating the favored Detroit Lions at home. At 36¢ per Yes contract, 55 whole contracts cost $19.80. When Carolina won, those contracts paid $55, a $35.20 profit before fees. Below, you'll find four prediction-market companies with different sign-up offers. Browse more on the Prediction Bonuses page. All four operate under U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversight, although age requirements, availability, and state restrictions vary.

Bank of America Stadium: Location & Game-Day Essentials

Bank of America Stadium sits at 800 South Mint Street, Charlotte, NC 28202, on the edge of Uptown.

The stadium's listed seating capacity is 75,525, and the field uses artificial turf with lighting for night events.

The building also accommodates private events in spaces such as the Panthers Den, North and South Club Lounges, Gallery Suites, Registix Reserve, and Skyview Deck. Those spaces aren't all open to ordinary game tickets, so check your ticket details before planning to visit a premium area.

Before you leave: Panthers game tickets use mobile entry. Have your ticket ready in the appropriate app, review the current bag policy, and allow time for stadium security. The venue operates cashless concessions, with cards and contactless payment accepted.

Panthers Home Games, Parking & Transportation

For Panthers home games, driving directly to the stadium isn't the only option. The venue estimates that more than 30,000 parking spaces are within a 10- to 15-minute walk. Booking parking in advance may save time, but Uptown street closures and postgame congestion can affect the route you're expecting to use.

Parking near the stadium

Compare a garage or surface lot by walking distance and by the route you'll use when leaving. Stadium-adjacent parking can be convenient before kickoff but doesn't always mean a quicker exit.

Arrive early

Security lines, pedestrian traffic, and street changes grow as kickoff approaches. Plan time for your parking walk, mobile ticket checks, and finding your section after entering.

Public Transportation to Panthers Games

CATS Blue Line Take the light rail to Brooklyn Village Station and walk toward the stadium. Park & Ride lots along the line are another option if you're traveling from outside Uptown.
CATS Gold Line The streetcar's Mint Street stop is roughly a 15- to 20-minute walk from the venue. Confirm the operating schedule for your game.
Game Day Express Sunday Panthers home games have express bus service on routes 61x, 64x, and 177. The current advertised fare is $3 each way or $6.60 for a day pass. For 1 p.m. kickoffs, CATS has published inbound Park & Ride departures beginning at 10:30 a.m. Service details can differ for night games.

Route 61x serves Waverly, Arboretum, and Strawberry Hill; route 64x serves Matthews-Independence Pointe Parkway; and route 177 includes Davidson Gateway, Cornelius, Northcross, and Huntersville Gateway. Game Day Express passengers use the Uptown stop on Brevard Street near Brooklyn Village Avenue. Check the CATS-Pass app for the current timetable, payment options, and vehicle locations.

Rideshare & Private Transportation

Designated rideshare pickup and drop-off areas include College Street between 3rd Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Mint Street near the I-277 interchange. Your rideshare app may direct you to a particular side of Uptown, especially when roads are closed after the game.

Tips for Buying Panthers Game Tickets

Ticket prices can change between the schedule announcement and kickoff, especially for divisional games and matchups with traveling fan bases. Compare the actual seat section and row, confirm the date and location, and review the final checkout total before buying. A road game listed on this page takes place in the opponent's stadium, not in Charlotte.

The 2026 schedule has a Week 5 bye, a Thursday night trip to Green Bay in Week 8, and a Monday night game in Tampa Bay in Week 12. The final two TBD matchups should be checked again once the NFL announces their exact dates and kickoff times. Flex scheduling can also affect certain late-season games.

For continuing coverage of Panthers games and other local teams, Charlotte Sports News provides the latest reporting alongside our longer game-day planning guides.

Where to Eat & Stay for Panthers Games

If you're making a full weekend of a Panthers home game, look at restaurants and hotels in Uptown as well as nearby areas such as South End and FreeMoreWest. Walking distance, light rail access, and late checkout may matter more than a hotel being close to the stadium by car.

Planning dinner before kickoff or lodging after the game? Explore the site's local restaurant and hotel recommendations.
