Carolina Panthers renewed the summertime vows with the Wofford College on Tuesday. This ensures that the training-camp venue of the Carolina Panthers will retain the status through the 2014 season with the option to extend that relationship.
The lengthier camp partnerships apart from Wofford and Panthers are Pittsburgh Steelers (St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa.), Minnesota Vikings (Minnesota State-Mankato) and the Green Bay Packers (St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis.).
Danny Morrison, the President of Carolina Panthers said, “We are very pleased to continue our long association with Wofford College. There is a strong bond between the team and the school and we do not think any team has better training camp facilities. It has been a mutually beneficial relationship and we are pleased that it will extend into the future.”
He was the athletic director of Wofford when the affiliation between the Panthers and school began in 1995. Their partnership has helped the college to upgrade and also to expand its athletic facilities and as an aftermath it has enabled its transition to Division I status.
Richard Johnson, the current athletic of Wofford said, “We are thrilled that Wofford will continue to host the Carolina Panthers training camp. It affords the Upstate region an opportunity to watch an NFL team practice and provides a much needed economic stimulus to the local economy.”
