Section 501 was the exact middle of the end zone on the top level (west end zone). It's a nice view. The uprights didn't bother me like I thought they would. The funnest plays to watch from that high are the field goals believe it or not. I also like being able to see the offensive and defensive sets which will likely only appeal to the hardcore fans of fantasy fanatics. The main downside to the end zone area is not being able to see the other side very well but it was manageable although I had to frequently refer to the scoreboard throughout the game.

Parking is great on game day in the uptown area. Instead of one huge parking lot that is hard to park in, there were many smaller parking lots. Another advantage of that is traffic fanned out after the game very quickly and it wasn't hard to leave.
Panthers fans are classy people. You should never feel threatened or uncomfortable about coming to Bank of America Stadium and sporting your Falcons, Buccaneers or Saints jerseys. Awesome way to spend a Sunday in Uptown Charlotte.
