After the Panthers vs. Bills game, our stadium underwent a massive transformation to host an MLS playoff match.
Now that the match has wrapped up, a massive 2,700-member team from Tepper Sports & Entertainment has been working tirelessly to get Bank of America Stadium ready for the Week 9 clash between the Panthers and Packers.

🔧 How the Stadium is Being Transformed

At Bank of America Stadium — home of the Carolina Panthers — the transition from NFL to MLS setup was executed with incredible speed and precision.
But it didn’t stop there: as soon as the MLS playoff match ended, over 2,700 staff members from Tepper Sports & Entertainment worked around the clock to restore the field for the Panthers vs. Packers showdown in Week 9.

They removed the MLS benches, dismantled the soccer goals, scrubbed off every MLS field marking, repainted precise NFL yard lines down to the inch, and thoroughly inspected the FieldTurf surface, drainage system, and all stadium equipment.
Hour by hour, hundreds of technicians, laborers, and maintenance staff raced against time to make sure every detail was perfect for Sunday.

Due to the massive scale of the work, the kickoff time for the Panthers vs. Packers game has been slightly adjusted to ensure the field meets all NFL safety and technical standards.

Meanwhile, larger upgrades are also underway: new seating, a bigger LED scoreboard, widened walkways, and improved fan amenities — all designed to make Bank of America Stadium the premier multi-sport venue on the East Coast.

In short, our home stadium is not only being prepped for the Panthers, but it’s also becoming a true sports landmark for all of Charlotte — where the worlds of football and soccer meet, and Panthers Nation is ready to light it up again this weekend! 🐾🔥

    Packers Cheerleader Sues a Packers Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
    Can you believe it? A charming, dynamic cheerleader from the Green Bay Packers is "exploding" and dragging a team player to court for "unforgivable" behaviors! Abigale Licciardi – the star of the Packers Cheer Squad – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the drama behind it is stirring up NFL fans! Could this be the "biggest scandal" in Packers history? Read now to discover the "scorching" details! Abigale Licciardi, a professional cheerleader for the American football team Green Bay Packers in the NFL, is a prominent member of the Packers Cheer Squad group. She is a former student at the University of Wisconsin, where she participated in the local cheer squad and dance activities. Before that, Abigale was a dancer for NBA events and holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Marquette University. Abigale is active on social media, often sharing about games at Lambeau Field, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Packers. As part of the Packers Cheer Squad team consisting of about 47 members (combining male and female), Abigale participates in fan interactions, charity events like "Dream On 3," and performances at Packers games. She has an Instagram account (@abigalelicciardi) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@abigale_packers) where she shares videos about game days and dance routines. Before joining the Packers, she worked at a local event company, proving her versatility and passion. But the "nightmare" struck when Abigale got "entangled" with a Packers player! That's Mike Thornton, a backup defensive end who rarely plays for the Packers – a guy who's practically "anonymous" to fans, only playing sporadically on special teams and never a pillar. Thornton, 29 years old, has been married since 2021 to his wife, a community nurse, and they have two young children (one boy and one girl). Yet, according to Abigale's lawsuit, Thornton has been "flirting" with her recklessly, despite his happy family life! The "explosion" happened when Thornton started sending "sweet" messages to Abigale via Instagram, praising her smile and energy after performances. At first, Abigale thought it was just friendly praise from a teammate, but things quickly "crossed the line" into harassment! Thornton called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 1-2 a.m. – to "share" about playing pressures, invite her for private dinners, and even send "suggestive" videos filmed at the gym! Abigale stated in the lawsuit: "He knows I only focus on my career and the team, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls make me anxious and stressed, severely affecting my performance!" According to insider sources, Thornton has been "stalking" Abigale since preseason, frequently "lingering" at community events she attends, and intentionally "creating situations" to approach her. Thornton's wife, upon learning, went "crazy" and threatened to break up, but the guy remains "blind"! The Packers are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily isolated Thornton for investigation, while fans are divided – one side defends Abigale's "brave accusation," the other suspects it's a "staged script." The NFL league is also intervening, which could lead to heavy fines or removal from the roster! Abigale, with her "queen" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a thorny issue in the sports world! How will the court punish Thornton? And will the Packers "clean up" the team to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
