CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A fan wearing a big smile and a black No. 1 Cam Newton jersey was at the entrance of Bank of America Stadium on Thursday less than an hour after news of the quarterback returning to the Carolina Panthers became official.
The sound of cars honking their horns reverberated off the nearby Morehead Street overpass next to him.
While rain clouds hung over the city, word that “Superman’’ had returned to the team he took to Super Bowl 50 in 2015 was like a ray of sunshine, judging by the reaction of fans.
