The Carolina Panthers are a professional football team representing the Carolinas. The Panthers are members of the Southern division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team plays their games at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, which also serves as the team headquarters. The Panthers are one of the few teams in the NFL to own their own stadium, legally registered as Panthers Stadium, LLC; the team itself is legally registered as Panthers Football, LLC and is worth approximately USD 1 billion according to Forbes.

3. Team history
On December 15, 1987, Jerry Richardson announced his bid for an NFL expansion franchise in the Carolinas.
On October 23, 1993, the NFL owners unanimously selected the Carolinas as the 29th NFL franchise
The Panthers began play in the 1995 NFL season. Led by head coach Dom Capers, the team finished the season with a 7–9 record.
The Panthers beat the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round before losing the NFC Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers.
The Panthers managed only a 7-9 finish in 1997 and slipped to 4-12 in 1998, leading to the firing of Capers as head coach
The Panthers hired former San Francisco 49ers coach George Seifert to replace Capers
in 2001, winning their first game but losing their last 15. The Panthers fired Seifert after the season. His replacement John Fox.

4. Stadium
In their first year of play, the Panthers played at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina
as the Panthers stadium was still under construction. Ericsson Stadium, now called Bank of America Stadium, opened in summer 1996
Six bronze panther statues flank the stadium's three main entrances - according to the Panthers, they are the largest statues ever commissioned in the United States.
The names of the team's original PSL owners are engraved on the base of each panther statue. The two people in the Panthers Hall of Honor, team executive Mike McCormack and linebacker Sam Mills, are both honored with life-sized bronze statues outside the stadium.

5. Muhsin Muhammad
"Moose" as he is affectionately known by adoring Panthers' fans, has been one of the most productive Panthers. In 2008 Muhammad became the 29th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards.

6. Mike Minter
Mike Minter- a Nebraska alum, was a great asset to the Panthers both on and off the field. Minter retired in 2007 after nine seasons, with team records for game starts (141) and consecutive starts (94), as well as for fumble recoveries and interceptions resulting in touchdowns.

7. Sam Mills
Others had more talent, most had more size, but no one had more heart than No. 51. During the first three years of the Panthers' existence, he was the heart and soul of the team

8. Steve Smith
Smith has become one of the league's most dangerous weapons, a game-breaker that has caused many defensive coordinators to lose sleep.
If Smith can steer clear of off-the-field problems, he will find his bust in Canton, Ohio one day.

9. Sir purr Sir purr has to be the worst mascot ever
And has a stupid side kick called mini-meow

Charlotte lives and dies with the Panthers because there aren't a lot of other options in the sports world
