As a standout high school and college softball player, Concord, N.C. resident Keleigh Romine understands and appreciates the dedication and hard work that goes into becoming a professional athlete. But on Saturday, she got a much closer look.
Romine was selected as the Grand Prize winner of Prowl the Den, a contest sponsored by Allen Tate Companies that chose 25 winners for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of the home of the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Each winner was invited to bring three guests to visit the Panthers locker room, training room, PantherVision studio, team kitchen and other areas of the stadium usually off-limits to the public. The winners also enjoyed a tailgate party, visits with Sir Purr and the Top Cats, and an opportunity to run onto the playing field during the event held October 26.
As the Grand Prize winner selected from the tour winners, Romine received four suite tickets and four field passes for the November 17, 2019 home game vs. Atlanta and four replica Carolina Panthers jerseys.
Romine, who attended Prowl the Den with her dad Greg, boyfriend Greg and friend Jimmy, is a dedicated Panthers fan whose favorite player is Luke Kuechly. She learned about the contest via a Facebook post from her family’s Allen Tate Realtor®, Jon Zavodny.
More than 21,000 Panthers fans registered for the contest, now in its seventh year. Prowl the Den is one of the many ways Allen Tate celebrates its 13-year partnership as Official Realtor® of The Carolina Panthers.
