‘Keep Pounding’ Drum will be at Super Bowl 50
SANTA CLARA, CA — The Panthers’ ‘Keep Pounding’ drum will be at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday for Super Bowl 50.
According to the Panthers’ website, assistant defensive line coach Sam Mills III’s face lit up when he heard that the drum was headed across the country for the game.
“There’s a rumor the Keep Pounding drum is heading west,” Mills said to defensive line coach Eric Washington. “We’ve been joking about that, but I didn’t even think it was a possibility.”
The drum that has become an integral part of home games made the road trip to Santa Clara, and will be on Carolina’s sideline for the big game.
“When we first started it (in 2012), people didn’t really know how to take it,” Mills said. “But now, that drum has come to signify the starting bell of a heavyweight fight. Every Sunday, we’re in a heavyweight fight, and when someone hits that drum, it’s time to go. We’re locked in.”
The Panthers tweeted out the good news on Friday.
