Panthers' home (8)
I believe the answer is:
carolina
'panthers' home' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for carolina that I've seen before include "North or South, it's a state" , "It's north and south in southern US" , "Girl" , "North and South US states" , "A clarion call for American state" .)
