Panthers hosting NFL Draft Day Party | Sports & Recreation
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - NFL Draft 2012 fever hits the Queen City Thursday night as the Carolina Panthers host their annual Draft Day Party at Bank of America Stadium.
The festivities get underway at 5:30 p.m. and go until 10:30 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
Panthers players will interact with fans and sign autographs. Fans will also have access to exclusive, behind-the-scenes areas of the stadium not typically open to the public. Tours of the Panthers locker room will be offered, and fans can go on the playing field to participate in the Primetime Kids' Combine, featuring activities like field goal kicks, quarterback/wide receiver challenge and more.
The NFL Draft 2012 starts at 8 p.m. in primetime and will be broadcast live on large LED screens inside the stadium and on screens setup outside the stadium's south gate on West Morehead Street.
