How to make the most out of football season in Charlotte

It’s not football season without an epic tailgate, and it’s not an epic tailgate without Bojangles.

Here’s why: A Family Meal in a Panthers Big Bo Box is an easy way to feed a hungry crew on game day.

Whether you’re tailgating from your trunk in the parking lot under the shadow of Bank of America Stadium or setting up a spread on your coffee table while the team is on the road, it’s always Bo Time.

The background: Bojangles and its team of certified Biscuit Makers have been making biscuits and other southern staples from scratch in the Queen City for 45+ years.

The best part about Bojangles’ family meals is how customizable they are:

• Choose the amount of chicken you need (starting at eight pieces and going all the way up to 20).
• Then, select your favorite fixins.
• A half-gallon of tea and biscuits are included in every Big Bo Box to round out the meal.

Even better: Plan ahead and skip the line when you order on the Bojangles app. You can schedule your order in advance and they’ll even bring it out to your car while you wait.

When it comes to home team pride, Bojangles doesn’t mess around. Here’s how you can party with them all season long.

Bojangles is the official Tailgate HQ of the Carolina Panthers, so they’ll be popping up at all home games to bring the Keep Pounding energy.

The deets: Tailgate with Bojangles at the lots behind Bank of America Stadium on select dates throughout the season. Expect games, coupons for free Bo’s Chicken Sandwiches, entertainment and more.

• The dates are September 11 and 25, October 9 and 23, November 10 and 27, and December 18 and 24.

Even better: The Bojangles Tailgate Tour will also include 20+ stops at 14 schools with celebrity appearances, giveaways and entertainment.

• The tour launches on Sept. 3 (which also happens to be National Tailgating Day) at the Duke’s Mayo Classic at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
• During the game, Bojangles will be handing out food samples and gift cards.

Looking ahead: Other Charlotte stops along the Bojangles Tailgate Tour include Johnson C. Smith University on October 22 and UNC Charlotte on November 19.
