The Carolina Panthers return to Wofford College Wednesday when they kick off training camp 2022. Here’s everything you need to know if you plan on making the trip to Spartanburg.
Schedule:
General Information(Per Release):
- Training camp is free and open to the public with first-come, first-serve general seating on the hill alongside Field 2. Standing room returns this year behind the back end zones on the left and toward the Field 1 entrance, so fans can get even closer to all the action during practice.
- AUTOGRAPHS ARE BACK. Fans are able to congregate along the fence line at Field 1 before and after practice as players walk by for a chance to have them come over and sign items.
- Back Together Saturday returns this year at Gibbs Stadium on July 30 at 7 p.m. The event will include on-field performances by the TopCats, Sir Purr, PurrCussion and Black & Blue Crew, the Mayor’s Ball Delivery and activities including face painting, food trucks, interactive games and sponsor activations.

- Parking is free and most lots offer a quick and easy walk to the practice fields. Click here for directions and parking information.
Training Camp Tips:
- Drink lots of water: Even though the Panthers will practice before the heat in Spartanburg becomes unbearable, it still gets warm. Staying hydrated is essential. You don’t want to be the person who causes a stir at the medical tent.
- Bring a Lawn Chair: Seating to watch practices is on an hill, which works out well for viewing, but you’ll also want to be comfortable for the 2 hour practice. A lawn chair is a training camp vet must-have.
- Pack an Umbrella: Whether it’s to block the shade or protect you from an unexpected shower, your umbrella will come in hand, so bring it.
- Have Snacks: A cooler full of drinks and sandwiches isn’t necessary, but a bag of chips or apple slices will come in handy while you watch your favorite team prepare for the season.
- Bring a Towel: Spartanburg is hot and you will sweat. It’s always nice to have a hand towel available to wipe your brow.
- Pack Binoculars: Fans headed to Wofford will get a good view of the field, but a decent pair of binoculars will still come in handy if the team is practicing on the field further away from fan seating
