The Panthers are eliminating some 900 seats from the west end zone of Bank of America Stadium to make room for 14 new bunker suites, according to WSOC. Roughly 400 PSL owners will be impacted. The team began informing those seat holders of the news yesterday with phone calls.
Here’s a look at the area that will be affected, via the Charlotte Observer.
Correction: removal of the first eight rows behind the west end zone are for bunker suites. Supporters Section will be directly opposite behind the goal (will most likely look like this), but those renovations have not yet started. pic.twitter.com/DNx00NZWW6

Some fans will no doubt be upset by this development. While we’re sympathetic to those who will lose long-held seats, it’s tough to feel too bad for them considering most fans can’t afford PSLs in the first place and can only watch on TV every week.
Expect more moves like this from David Tepper, who after all got here because he’s adept at maximizing profits.
