Wilson’s World: Getting into the Christmas Spirit with the Panthers’ Sir Purr at Bank of America Stadium
The Carolina Panthers 4th Annual Tree Lighting will be held on Wednesday, Nov 22nd at 6pm.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It’s always a lot of fun when Sir Purr and Wilson get together. This morning was even a “traffic-stopper” with more Christmas sweaters and jackets than should be allowed for an early Thursday morning.
Wilson was at Bank of America Stadium previewing next week’s Carolina Panthers 4th Annual Tree Lighting. Joined by Sir Purr, the two managed to bring traffic to a halt. Riley Fields with the Panthers organization joined Wilson and Purr for a Christmas sweater showdown and a new toy for Purr. Wayne Holder of Sugar Mountain Nursery showed off the tree while it is being decorated and explained the tree’s history.
Wilson also checked out something new at the Panthers Team Store. If you are looking for the perfect gift for the Panthers fan but you can’t get by the Panthers Team Store during regular store hours, check out their on-line store and the after hours locker pickup!

This will be the 4th year that the Carolina Panthers have hosted the Tree Lighting at Bank of America Stadium in Uptown. The celebration is free of charge and takes place outside on the corner of Mint Street and Graham Street, from 6-7:30 p.m. Panthers fans will be entertained by Sir Purr, the TopCats, the PurrCussion Drumline and the Black & Blue Crew. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs to enjoy the evening that includes children’s activities, holiday movies, festive music and a special visit from Santa Claus. The event will conclude with the tree lighting ceremony which include performances featuring the Charlotte Bronze Handbell Ensemble and Queen City Groove.
The event will be held rain or shine and parking will be available from various independent parking companies in the Uptown area. For information on the Tree Lighting ceremony go to the Panthers website HERE.
