The Cincinnati Bengals will make a large private investment of $100-$120 million to renovate Paycor Stadium, the organization said Tuesday. This is one of several important enhancements being performed to the Bengals’ home stadium.
With overwhelming agreement from NFL Owners and the League’s Finance Committee, the Bengals will begin extensive enhancements to Paycor Stadium, with construction lasting until 2026. Projects in fan-facing sections will include upgraded visual and audio systems, suite and club lounge restorations, concession enhancements, and beautification.
“The Bengals are continuing to invest in our future here in Cincinnati,” Bengals Executive Vice President Katie Blackburn stated in a news statement. “We are fortunate to have a fantastic stadium, and we are delighted to invest in this valuable asset to help make it a best-in-class facility. We adore our fans and can think of no better way to commemorate our 25th season at Paycor Stadium than to announce these significant enhancements that will enhance the gameday experience even further.”
Stadium upgrades are an essential component of a long-term strategy to retain a successful club in Cincinnati and the Bengals competitive around the NFL. This announcement brings the team’s recent investment to around $150 million over the last few seasons, including $40 million in private investment for projects such as the IEL Indoor Facility, a new locker room, an overhauled and expanded training room, new ribbon videoboards, and concessions and the Bengals Pro Shop.
