History: The Panthers' home was designed as a stadium located in a park. There are groves of pines, a cornucopia of flowers and a sculpture of a panther at each entrance to the stadium. Inside the stadium, on the east end of the upper level, are mounted more than 400 football helmets, representing each high school and college football team in the Carolinas. The $187 million, privately financed facility opened in 1996, following the team's inaugural season, when the team played in Clemson, S.C.
