Carolina Panthers Tailgate Charter & Bank of America Stadium Game Day Bus
Tailgating works best when the crew arrives together, the cooler stays cold, and nobody's circling for parking. We've moved tailgate groups through every NFL stadium in the country — here's how the math works.

Why Panthers Tailgate Groups Choose Unlimited Charters
Bank of America Stadium Access
Direct experience with Bank of America Stadium parking, Uptown deck lots and the Mint Street tailgate zone, and the charter-lot rules. We've dropped groups at Gate 1 or Gate 5 more times than we can count.
Book 10-12 Weeks Out
Panthers rivalry games (New Orleans Saints, prime-time matchups, playoff weekends) sell out the tailgate-grade vehicle pool 10-12 weeks in advance. Lock in early.
Licensed & Insured
Every chauffeur CDL-licensed, every vehicle DOT-inspected and commercially insured. Certificate of insurance available for corporate suite groups and season-ticket-holder blocks.
Dispatch on Game Day
Real person on the phone if pickup runs late, if I-77 and I-277 bottleneck around Uptown Charlotte traffic backs up, if the post-game lot empty-out takes 2 hours instead of 1. We adjust the booked hours in real time.
Cargo + Climate Control
Real cargo space for coolers, grills, tents, cornhole. Climate control for Charlotte, NC weather — hot opener or chilly late-season. Sound system to keep Panthers energy up on the drive.
8-Hour Package Pricing
Standard Panthers game-day package covers pre-game tailgate, in-stadium hours, and post-game (add hours for a sports-bar detour). All-in price = driver, fuel, insurance, gratuity, taxes. No surprises.
About Carolina Panthers Tailgate Transportation
The Carolina Panthers home game at Bank of America Stadium is one of the great football experiences — and it gets exponentially better when the crew arrives together, the coolers stay cold, and nobody has to designate a sober driver at Panthers' home game. A Panthers tailgate party bus solves the three problems every group organizer hits: BofA parking that runs $60-100+ per car (more on New Orleans Saints weekends), designated-driver selection (nobody in a group of loyal Panthers fans wants to skip the beer), and the post-game rideshare cluster when I-77 and I-277 bottleneck around Uptown Charlotte traffic hits surge-pricing hell.
Unlimited Charters operates a vetted network of party-bus and charter carriers with direct experience at Bank of America Stadium. Whether you're a 14-person work crew, a 30-person fantasy reunion, a 40-person corporate suite group, or a 56-person motor coach for a divisional playoff weekend — we've moved the crew, we know Uptown deck lots and the Mint Street tailgate zone, and we know where to drop you at Gate 1 or Gate 5 without the walk.
Bank of America Stadium — Tailgating & Stadium Info
Stadium: Bank of America Stadium (BofA), Charlotte, NC. Home to the Carolina Panthers with 9 home games per season.
Tailgate lots: BofA lots (Mint Street, 300 South, NASCAR Hall of Fame Deck) fill hours before kickoff; the campus becomes a full tailgate universe. The premier tailgate scene is at Uptown deck lots and the Mint Street tailgate zone — fills 5-6 hours before kickoff for regular-season games, 10+ hours before New Orleans Saints rivalry games.
Game-day traffic: I-77 and I-277 bottleneck around Uptown Charlotte, plus most home games are sellouts. Post-game exit typically takes 60-90 minutes to clear. Your driver knows the back-way routes.
Best drop-off/pickup gate: Gate 1 or Gate 5 for pre-game walk-in, and the same gate area for post-game pickup — we coordinate the specific spot with your group leader 48 hours before kickoff.
Fan culture note: Panthers tailgates fill the Uptown Charlotte deck lots — walkable to bars on Trade and Tryon streets, one of the most urban tailgate scenes in the NFL.

Group Sizes That Make Sense for Panthers Tailgates
- 14-passenger executive Sprinter — small work crew, family group, Parents-Weekend crowd. $1,400-$2,000 all-in.
- 20-passenger party bus — friend group, small fantasy league, small corporate suite. $1,900-$2,600.
- 30-passenger party bus — the most-booked size for Panthers tailgates. Fantasy reunions, big work groups, bachelor parties. $2,400-$3,200.
- 40-passenger mini-coach — extended family + friends, big corporate group. $2,800-$3,400.
- 45-passenger sorority/fraternity bus — full Greek chapter for a rivalry game. $2,600-$3,200.
- 56-passenger motor coach — biggest Panthers groups; per-person math wins big at this size ($50-60/person). $2,400-$3,200.
Per-person math: a 30-person group splitting a $2,700 party bus pays $90/person — usually cheaper than $60-100 parking + Uber both ways with surge pricing.

Real Panthers Fans. Real Game Days.
“30 of us from Charlotte packed a 30-pax party bus for a Sunday-night Panthers game. Driver rolled us into the tailgate lot at 10 AM, we tailgated 5 hours, watched the Panthers win, driver was at Gate 1. Cheaper than 8 Ubers with surge from the burbs.”— Mike R., Concord, NC
“14 clients from a Charlotte company for a Panthers Monday Night Football game. 14-pax executive Sprinter, chilled drinks, driver in a button-down, VIP entrance drop. Certificate of insurance for our compliance team. Everything checked the boxes.”— Lauren M., Charlotte, NC
“22 of us from Concord for the Panthers-Saints game. One party bus, 45 minutes each way, tailgate at the premier lot, driver was a pro. Way easier than 4 carloads of Carolinians on the highway with post-game traffic.”— Kevin D., Columbia, SC
“Called Monday for a divisional-round Panthers game 6 days out. Local supply was tight but Unlimited Charters found a 40-pax mini-coach dispatched from Greensboro. Made it happen when nobody else could.”— Sean M., Rock Hill, SC
