Panthers Owner Jerry Richardson Pays For Whole Staff To Attend Super Bowl 50

The Carolina Panthers’ only other Super Bowl appearance was in February 2004, during which they lost to the New England Patriots 32-29. Twelve years later, they are preparing to face off against the Denver Broncos. Owner Jerry Richardson is ensuring everyone on the payroll has the chance to experience this Super Bowl in person: he is paying for all staff members and interns to travel to San Francisco for the much-anticipated matchup.

“Mr. Richardson understands that this memorable season would not have been possible without harmony and a complete team effort,” team president Danny Morrison told Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer. “This is not unprecedented as he also provided an opportunity for the Panthers staff to travel to the 2004 Super Bowl in Houston, Texas. It’s an incredibly gracious gift.”

The Super Bowl will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 7 between the Panthers and the Broncos.
