The fun at a Carolina Panthers game day begins with tailgating both outside and inside the stadium; the gates open 2 hours before game time, but you can get in early if you are attending one of the tailgates.
Game day at Fortera Stadium begins when Tailgate Alley coming to life three hours before kickoff. Just west of the stadium in Lot 6, tents rise, the smell of grills fills the air, and you can hear music from a DJ.
