Panthers in discussions with Wofford College to bring training camp back to Spartanburg

The Carolina Panthers are taking the next steps to return to Wofford College for training camp in 2021.

“We are in discussions with Wofford College and are excited about the possibility of returning to Spartanburg for training camp,” a team spokesperson said in a statement. When reached by The Observer, Wofford College deferred comment to the Panthers.

The Panthers held training camp at Bank of America Stadium last year due to a league-wide rule that forced all teams to hold camps at their practice facilities in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The team extended their partnership with a two-year contract that originally went from 2020 through 2021.

 

Fewer and fewer teams are holding camps away from their facilities. Last year, only eight other teams were scheduled to do so: Bills, Colts, Cowboys, Chiefs, Rams, Raiders, Steelers and Washington.

The Panthers franchise had held camp at the Spartanburg, S.C. college every year since the team’s first season in 1995.

 

It was previously unclear how many more times the team would return due to the building of the new team headquarters and facilities in Rock Hill. Due to COVID-19, the opening of that site has been delayed and training camp is not scheduled to move there until 2023 after previously being scheduled to open in Summer 2022.

Looks like it...

I know a lot of folks aren't big fans of the playing surface down there, and even less are fans of the heat.

It's not more hot in Spartanburg than Charlotte.

People who've been to camp will tell you the humidity is nasty.

Shade is forbidden in Spartanburg.

Insects, however, are permitted.

That heat is the best tool for keeping the casual fan and the other teams fans away so the REAL tards can get a closer look.  I've been that tard several times.

Ehhh, personally I think that's way over exaggerated. It's not like we're talking about Columbia or something.

I'd love to make another road trip.

Haven't been to The Beacon in a long time.

I love their sweet tea, 5 parts sugar to 1 part tea.
