The Carolina Panthers have released new renderings of their planned stadium renovation, offering a first official look at the massive project set to reshape the team's home field. The designs, unveiled Thursday, show a significantly expanded Bank of America Stadium with upgraded seating, improved concourses, and enhanced exterior features aimed at modernizing the venue.

The $1.3 billion renovation is designed to keep the stadium competitive for major events beyond just NFL games. Team officials have emphasized the need to attract high-profile events like the Super Bowl, College Football Playoff games, and major concerts. The renderings depict a more open and accessible structure, with wider entry points and new gathering spaces outside the main bowl.

Key changes include a reworked upper deck, expanded club areas, and improved video boards throughout the facility. The project also focuses on upgrading infrastructure like plumbing, electrical systems, and concessions to meet current standards. The Panthers have stated that the renovations will be completed in phases to minimize disruption during the regular season.

The announcement comes as the team continues to negotiate funding details with local and state officials. While the franchise is covering a portion of the costs, public contributions remain a point of discussion. The Panthers hope to begin construction in the near future, with a target completion date that would allow the stadium to host a Super Bowl in the coming decade.
