The Carolina Panters played their first game at Ericsson Stadium on September 14, 1996. The stadium sits on 33 acres (130,000 m²) of land and has a capacity of 73,298. Bank of America Stadium is only used as a football facility, although it also hosted the Rolling Stones on October 10, 1997. The stadium, originally known as Carolinas Stadium, opened in 1996, as Ericsson Stadium after the Swedish telecom company purchased naming rights to the stadium. The Panthers debuted there during the 1996-1997 NFL season. In 2004, the stadium changed its name to the current Bank of America Stadium after naming rights were acquired by a large banking company. Bank of America bought the rights for 20 years.
