Bank of America Stadium renovation advances with new $1.3 billion design details

New renderings released July 23 offer the latest look at the approximately $1.3 billion renovation of Bank of America Stadium, the Charlotte home of the Carolina Panthers. The images show a redesigned venue with corners extending outward, giving the building a more circular appearance.

Construction was already underway behind the scenes before the end of the 2026 Panthers season, with about 65 workers active on the project, according to the report. The available information does not provide a final completion date or an event-by-event operating schedule for the stadium.

A revised look for the stadium

The renderings depict outward expansion at the stadium’s corners while preserving its park-like setting. They provide a new public view of the renovation design, rather than confirmation that the work is complete.

The stadium is expected to retain the Bank of America Stadium name for the foreseeable future despite the planned physical changes.

The report describes the renovation’s value as approximately $1.3 billion. It does not specify whether that figure covers related infrastructure beyond the stadium work itself.

Charlotte’s approved public contribution

Charlotte City Council approved a $650 million contribution to the project in June 2024. That contribution is to come from hospitality and tourism-tax revenue.

The council action established a major public commitment to the project, but the available report does not establish that the full renovation is funded. The $650 million city contribution and the approximately $1.3 billion renovation value are separate figures that should not be treated as the same amount.

The project involves a major Charlotte sports venue and a substantial construction effort. For the Panthers and the city, the new renderings show how the stadium’s form is expected to change while work continues out of public view.

What comes next

The known next step is continued behind-the-scenes construction. No final completion deadline was included in the available reporting, and no official schedule was provided showing whether the stadium will be available for every 2026 event.

That leaves the July 23 renderings as the latest confirmed public project update: a design that expands the corners, retains the stadium’s park-like setting and moves forward alongside ongoing construction activity.
