# North Carolina Auditor Reviews Charlotte Stadium Spending

North Carolina’s Office of the State Auditor released the first in a planned series of reviews of Charlotte’s $1.3 billion Bank of America Stadium renovation, which includes $650 million in public bond financing and is expected to be completed in 2030. As of August 2026, the city had authorized and funded approximately $3.1 million in project disbursements. The work includes major construction, building systems, site infrastructure, construction management, and professional services; the report identifies no open solicitation or awarded contractor.

- The review provides procurement and industry stakeholders with early visibility into public spending and oversight for a major stadium renovation, but it does not announce a current bidding opportunity.
- Contractors in construction, building systems, site infrastructure, construction management, and professional services can use the reported project scope to understand the areas of work involved; no specific vendors or contract awards were identified.
- The auditor plans additional reviews, making the project’s spending and oversight a continuing area of public reporting. The initial review reports approximately $3.1 million in disbursements authorized and funded as of August 2026.
