CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Carolina Panthers have agreed to a new deal that will keep training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C., for at least another five years.
The Panthers have trained at the alma mater of owner Jerry Richardson since they entered the NFL in 1995. The original 15-year deal expired at the end of the 2009 camp.
The Panthers have bucked the trend to move training camp to their own facility. Coach John Fox has said he enjoys having the team go away, but not be too far from Charlotte. Spartanburg is about a 90-minute drive, allowing for quick trips to treat injured players.
The deal announced on Tuesday was completed by new Panthers president Danny Morrison, who was once athletic director at Wofford.
