I do believe when the Panthers came into the league they played their home games at Clemson's stadium. So yeah, I would say they represent both states.

Off the top of my head are all NFL teams named after cities. Are the Jazz and Pacers only NBA teams with their state and not a city Well New York could be for the city or state but it is for the city I do believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy1987 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 5 minutes ago, IUaic said: So they represent North and South Carolina? Yes that is true. Charlotte is right on the SC border. Pretty effective marketing as both states claim the Panthers. Jerry Richardson(Original owner) always had the Panthers Summer camp in Spartanburg, SC(Wofford). And it looks like SC is about to land a new Panthers training facility. So the connection to both states is strong. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
