Paycor Stadium

Paycor Stadium sits on the Cincinnati riverfront, the open-air home of the Bengals with sightlines across the Ohio River to Kentucky. Its clean, curved bowl was one of the first NFL stadiums to win architectural design awards, and the riverfront concourses give fans skyline views before kickoff. When the Bengals are surging, the black-and-orange crowd and the roar of "Who Dey" turn the building into one of the AFC's toughest road trips. It sits adjacent to the Reds' Great American Ball Park as part of Cincinnati's riverfront sports district.

Opened in August 2000 as Paul Brown Stadium, named for the franchise's founder, it replaced the multi-purpose Riverfront Stadium after Hamilton County voters approved public funding in 1996. Designed by NBBJ, it became the first NFL facility to win an American Institute of Architects design award. The stadium was renamed Paycor Stadium in 2022 under a long-term naming-rights deal, and it has hosted numerous Bengals playoff games, including the team's run to Super Bowl LVI following the 2021 season.
