CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers released their 2024 training camp schedule Thursday, announcing that Fan Fest will be held at Clemson's Memorial Stadium for the first time.
The Panthers played all their home games at Clemson during the team's inaugural season in 1995.
This season marks the Panthers training camp's first time in Charlotte. Previously, Carolina's training camp was held at Wofford College in Spartanburg. This year's camp begins on Wednesday, July 24, with 14 free practices open to the public. Each practice will include fan activities, concessions and player autographs.
Highlights of training camp include July 27's "Back Together Saturday," featuring performances by the TopCats, Purrcussion, and Sir Purr. The Panthers will have a joint practice with the New York Jets on Aug. 15 ahead of the teams' preseason game two days later.
"As we head into our 30th season, we're looking forward to bringing football to our fans across the Carolinas this summer, including going to Clemson where it all began," Panthers President Kristi Coleman said in a statement. "From bringing Training Camp to Charlotte to honoring our South Carolina ties by hosting Fan Fest at Clemson, we are excited to celebrate our fans across both states."
Fan Fest tickets will be available for $5 starting June 21. All proceeds will benefit Carolina Panthers Charities. Fans will be able to purchase up to eight tickets for Fan Fest. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with a fireworks show following practice.
"We are honored to play a part in the Panthers celebration of their 30th season by hosting Fan Fest in Memorial Stadium," Clemson athletic director Graham Neff said. "Clemson University and the Panthers' organization share many connections, and we're excited to collaborate on this unique opportunity."
