Bank of America Stadium is Charlotte FC's home ground and one of the more unusual MLS venues in the league — it's a shared NFL stadium that holds up to 74,000 for Panthers games, configured down to around 38,000 for soccer. That still makes it one of the largest dedicated soccer capacities in MLS when full, and the club has drawn strong crowds since launching in 2022.
The stadium sits just south of Charlotte's uptown, within easy walking distance of hotels, bars, and restaurants concentrated along Stonewall Street and throughout the Fourth Ward neighborhood. Public parking is available in nearby decks, and the proximity to uptown makes it easy to combine a match with dinner in the city. The covered upper deck and sizable roofline give the stadium a good noise environment when the crowd is engaged.
CLT is 8 miles from Bank of America Stadium. A rideshare runs $15–25. No direct transit, so take a rideshare or rental car.
ADA spaces in city garages next to the stadium can be reserved in advance. Accessible drop-off is on Graham St near the main entrance. Contact Charlotte FC through charlottefc.com.
Downtown garages and surface lots surround the stadium. City decks are a 5–10 minute walk at reasonable rates. Pre-book via SpotHero or the team website for big matches, as lots fill fast for sold-out Crown matches.
The Crown supporter section brings energy pre-match. Bars and restaurants on Stonewall St, Tryon St and in South End are popular gathering spots.
The LYNX Blue Line stops a short walk away, at Stonewall and Brooklyn Village stations. It connects from South End and NoDa. CATS adds match-day service; see charlottenc.gov/cats.
The stadium is in uptown Charlotte, walkable from downtown hotels and South End. The route is lined with bars and restaurants.
Bike parking is available near the stadium. Greenways and bike lanes connect from South End, NoDa and Plaza Midwood for experienced urban cyclists.
2 sealed water bottles allowed.
No outside food.
Clear bags only. Limit what you bring.
One bag per person:
No large purses, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, luggage, computer bags or anything bigger.
Medical bag exception: email tickets@charlottefootballclub.com.
This NFL venue is shared with the Carolina Panthers. Lower midfield sections have the best sightlines and keep you close to the touchline.
The raised view helps you follow the shape of the game, and prices drop a lot from the lower bowl. The upper deck sits far from the pitch compared with soccer-specific venues.
Upper deck end zone seats are distant and at a poor angle to the goal. Lower bowl ends are better but still worse than midfield. Stick to midfield at any level.
The stadium runs roughly east-west, so the south stands get direct afternoon sun. The north side gets upper deck shade earlier and is more comfortable for summer afternoon kickoffs.
Open-air, no roof. July and August afternoons are intense, especially in the shade-free upper bowl. Afternoon thunderstorms are common, so check the forecast. Spring and fall are typically excellent.
Section 101 - Charlotte BBQ and burgers. Try the brisket sandwich with pickled jalapeños.
Throughout the Stadium - Pour station for North Carolina's cherry soft drink.
Concourse - Pastries and coffee. The almond croissant is worth finding.
Different supporter groups tailgate every weekend match at the Charlotte FC Supporter Group Tailgate Lot. The lot will generally open 4 hours before kickoff.
Possibly 508 if the entire stadium is open
Charlotte FC's south end houses multiple supporter groups across sections 119–124 and the upper tier 227–231. Standing and chanting throughout the match is the norm. Non-Charlotte FC club apparel is not permitted in the supporter sections.
Check out the chants on the Mint City Collective website or watch the YouTube Channel.
The Atrium Health Fit Zone (100 level concourse, near Section 138) is an outdoor area with a mini artificial turf pitch for kicking and passing, plus other interactive activities.
Nursing: A private room on every level, sponsored by Atrium Health, near Sections 119, 129, 313, 525 and 548. Get a key at the nearest Guest Relations booth (704-358-7000/7538).
Changing tables: In all family restrooms.
Sensory/quiet space: KultureCity Sensory Inclusive Certified. Check out sensory kits at any Guest Relations Booth. The free KultureCity app previews what to expect.
Tip: Register your child in the Tag-A-Kid Program at a 100- or 500-level Guest Relations Booth in case you get separated.
Strollers: Reports vary on whether strollers and baby carriers are allowed. Confirm on Charlotte FC's site.
In the Stands offers apparel for fans who enjoy visiting ballparks and stadiums. While we all have our favorite teams, there are times when they aren't the ones playing. Our goal is to create a sense of community and camaraderie whenever you see someone wearing In the Stands apparel.
