There will be four new bays installed at three entry gates with extra wide escalators in each bay.

Two new ribbon boards (approximately 5 feet high) will encircle the entire bowl at club level and upper bowl level.

Bank of America Stadium will also feature new illuminated glass domes on each of the three entry gates.

 

A new high-efficiency, high-octave distributed sound system will also be installed throughout the bowl.

 

Team President Danny Morrison says construction on Bank of America Stadium is scheduled to begin two weeks from today

 

These renovations are phase one of three. The Panthers plan on making renovations over the next three years during each

offseason.

 

The team hired Turner Construction for the 2014 renovations, which are scheduled to be finished July 1.

 

The Panthers plan to build four new escalator bays to bring fans to the upper bowl faster. The escalators can carry 6,000 people an hour, the team said.

 

On top of the escalator bays will be four new “party plazas.” These spaces will allow fans in the upper bowl to congregate, watch games on TVs and have views of the city and uptown skyscrapers.

 

The team will also install flagpoles on the top of the upper bowl that will double as new speakers to improve the stadium sound system.

 

Update.  Heres a video

Unfortuantely I see nothing about the horrible buzzing sound from the lights in the upper deck or the lack of drainage system to deal with the swimming pool effect in the lower deck when it rains. Or some kind of rest room modification to put more urinals in the bathroom.  Cmon, They can do rows or something to add more, 1 wall of urinals per bathroom doesnt cut it.

You can see at the stadium where they've started doing the preliminary work for the escalators.  My question is it looks like they end up outside, so do they have a gate before you get on the people movers?  That's gonna be interesting.  I was under the impression they were going to be set up to use after you get inside the concourses.

    • Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.
    • He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
