Summary
$1.3 billion in Bank of America Stadium renovations could put Charlotte in line for marquee NFL events, with Commissioner Roger Goodell saying the city could land the draft and eventually a Super Bowl.
Goodell said the NFL Draft now draws nearly 1 million people and has become a global event, while calling Charlotte “Super Bowl quality” if its growth continues.
Tepper Sports said every part of the stadium is being redone inside and out, including larger displays, new scoreboards, upgraded seating and improved skyline views.
A 4,400-seat performance venue is also planned next to the stadium’s north gate as part of the broader project, which is scheduled for completion by 2030.
