The team is headquartered in Bank of America Stadium in uptown Charlotte; the stadium also serves as the home venue for the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. The Panthers were announced as the league’s 29th franchise in 1993, and began play in 1995 under original owner and founder Jerry Richardson. In 1999, they joined the NFC South division with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and won their first division championship in 2008.
The Panthers have reached the playoffs seven times, advancing to four NFC Championship Games and two Super Bowls. They have won six division titles, one conference championship, and qualified for nine playoff appearances since the franchise began play in 1995. The Panthers have finished first in their division 10 times (1995–96, 2003, 2005, 2008–11, 2013–17), finishing second three times (1997–98, 2002) and third once (1999). In their 23 years of existence, they have an overall regular season record of 182–144 (.558), a playoff record of 8–9 (.471), and were 2-2 in NFC Championship Games. They are one day short of having played two full NFL seasons; out of 32 teams moneyline records each season dating back to 1950 only four – all expansion teams – played fewer games than them: Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens (1992: 1 game), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1976: 14 games), Jacksonville Jaguars/Houston Oilers (1995: 16 games/1999: 8 games; as an expansion team they replaced another expansion team that played 8 this same year) and Seattle Seahawks (1976: 14 games). All those teams made it to year three before playing a full 16 game schedule; Seattle would eventually complete this by playing its third game on December 18 – ironically at Carolina – thus completing its third full NFL season without ever playing more than 14 regular season games or more than 16 total games including playoffs up until that point
