Panthers announce huge changes for training camp, practice facility
Farewell, Sparkle City.
The Carolina Panthers announced on Wednesday morning that they will no longer hold training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C. They will, instead, remain in Charlotte for their summer workouts—ending a near 30-year-old partnership with the institution.
Kristi Coleman, President of the Carolina Panthers, said the following through the organization’s official release:
“We’re excited to hold training camp at our facility in Charlotte. We appreciate Wofford and the Spartanburg community for their hospitality over the years. We are dedicated to the fans in South Carolina, and we will continue to bring fan and community events to the state.”
Wofford College hosted the Panthers for training camp since the team’s inception in 1995. The franchise does, however, plan to feature Fan Fest—usually held at Bank of America Stadium—in South Carolina.
The Panthers also announced that the Atrium Health Dome, located across from Bank of America Stadium, will be removed at the end of the regular season in January. The changes will provide the space for three full practice fields, an upgrade from the one full field (and three-fourths of another) players and coaches currently use.
