The Carolina Panthers are following through on their plans to revamp the team's practice facility. 

Tepper Sports & Entertainment filed additional planning documents for the expansion at 325 S. Cedar St. on Tuesday. WSOCTV.com was first with the news.

According to planning documents filed by the Panthers, the team wants to build a new fieldhouse and training facilities on its property at 325 S. Cedar Street.

The zoning documents say the team wants to develop on about 12 acres of land. The proposal includes “practice/training Facilities and fieldhouse facilities; indoor seating for sports and events/performances viewing on a periodic basis and up to 5,000 seats for such uses outdoors on a periodic basis.”

“The rezoning filing is a necessary step as we work through the strategic vision for our facilities. It will enable us to pursue enhancements and modifications to the practice fields with the goal of constructing a field house for football operations and community opportunities like Training Camp,” the Panthers said in a statement to WSOCTV.com.

The Panthers haven't revealed the full scope of the new practice facility project. Those details are expected in the coming months.
