The NFL Panthers are "raising ticket prices for the second consecutive season," affecting 60% of ticket buyers at Bank of America Stadium, but there will be "no increase 'on over 39% of seats,' including 4,000 in the lower level," according to Erik Spanberg of the CHARLOTTE BUSINESS JOURNAL. Increases for next season in the lower level "start at $4 and go as high as $20 per game per ticket and $3 to $5 for upper level seating." Panthers President Tom Glick in an email to season-ticket holders wrote that the team is "planning and investing in the future" under Owner David Tepper (BIZJOURNALS.com, 2/20). Meanwhile, in Charlotte, Jourdan Rodrigue reports the Panthers' new temporary indoor practice facility, dubbed "the Bubble," will be "constructed over one of the team's three outdoor practice fields to offer a climate-controlled environment for players" beginning in the '19 preseason. Glick wrote, "The Bubble is our first of several planned infrastructure projects and will be followed by enhancements to Bank of America Stadium and a new permanent practice facility and campus in the future." Glick also "confirmed in a video attached to the email that 'caravans' and fan festivals would be traveling to different locations in the Carolinas to meet and greet as many fans in both states as possible" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 2/21).
