CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Sunday Night Football is returning to the Carolinas for the first time in a decade, and the Panthers are going all out to make it a night to remember. The team will embrace “Dark Mode,” wearing black helmets, jerseys and pants for the only time this season while encouraging fans to wear black and show their Panthers pride.
The excitement starts before kickoff with festivities on Mint and Graham Street, including the Bud Light Block Party from 5–7 p.m., featuring a live concert from country star and Panthers fan Chris Lane, appearances by Panthers Legends and the TopCats, and more. Families can also enjoy the Panthers Play Yard presented by Atrium Health from 6–7:30 p.m., with inflatables, face painting, a photo booth, a DJ and other activities. Both events are free and open to fans without a game ticket.
