Stadium Features

Bank of America Stadium has many unique external features. Aspects of the stadium's architecture, such as 3 huge main entrances, incorporate the team's colors of black, process blue and silver.

Arches that connect column supports on the upper deck resemble the shape of half a football, while several acres of numerous trees and landscaping surround the building.

Its architecture and design is compared to that of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Soldier Field, among others. It's also received mentions for externally resembling "a fortress" instead of a stadium.

Each of the stadium's entrances is flanked on both sides by two larger-than-life bronze panther statues, something unique throughout the entire NFL.

These 6 statues are all named Indomitable Spirit and were installed in 1996. Each one depicts a crouching, snarling panther with green eyes; they are the largest sculptures ever commissioned in the United States.

The names of the team's original PSL owners are engraved into each statue's base.

Another striking feature the stadium contains is its 6 light domes. These are found on top of the main entrances, 2 per entrance, and sit over a hundred feet in the air.

Originally, they simply glowed the Panthers' unique 'process blue' every night. As the seasons wore on, the emitted light became less and less impressive and the domes started showing the age.

During the 2014 renovations, the domes were rebuilt with LED systems. They can now be seen again projecting process blue nightly in various ways not possible with the original technology.

Additionally, 2 people currently in the Panthers Hall of Honor, former team executive Mike McCormack and former Panthers linebacker and assistant coach Sam Mills, are honored with life-sized bronze statues outside the stadium.

Before the 2014 renovations, the names of the hall of honor inductees placed where the upper ribbon board now resides.

These names (at least Mills') were subsequently repainted onto the top rear wall behind the last row of seats. Additionally, 3 marble copies of a quote about the stadium from team owner Jerry Richardson were placed near the stadium's entrances in 2014.
