The Carolina Panthers have named the press box at Bank of America Stadium the "Charlie Dayton Press Box" in honor of the team's long-time director of communications. The announcement was made at a breakfast for Dayton in the press box on Friday, and he will be recognized at the Panthers' game versus the San Francisco 49ers with a pregame ceremony in the press box involving the media and during the game through an in-bowl tribute.
Dayton joined the Panthers in February 1994 and worked 21 seasons as the director of communications before becoming the organization's director of historical and alumni affairs in 2015.
