The Carolina Panthers need an indoor practice facility. Two of their divisional opponents play home games inside a dome – New Orleans and Atlanta, in addition to being able to prepare without worrying about the lack of focus due to the weather elements or impact it could have on the players.
Teams around the NFL have been adding indoor practice facilities for years, but the Panthers remain outside on a daily basis. Carolina does have access to both turf and natural grass practice surfaces but none are covered.
David Tepper has plans to change that beginning next season.
