This Sunday, Sept. 13, Bank of America Stadium will be roaring for the Carolina Panthers' regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears. But fans have another reason to celebrate: new bites and merchandise to show their spirit.

On every level of the stadium, fans can savor smash burgers, egg rolls, a 2-ft-long quesadilla, mushroom tacos, and dirty sodas. Don't worry, fan favorites like popcorn, pretzels, and Bojangles chicken supremes are still available.

"We've tried to scale some of our tried-and-true concepts that are only available on one particular level, and push those up to the 500 level so that every guest that enters the stadium has access to everything that we offer," Levy Executive Chef Adam Bognovitz told CLTtoday.

"But what will I wear?" The team store will have new brands including Lululemon, Abercrombie, and Peter Millar + a Luke Kuechly Hall of Fame collection.

Speaking of the game, tickets start at $166. Keep pounding!
