The stadium's unconventional curvilinear roof was designed by NBBJ to reflect the aesthetic of the surrounding riverfront landscape.
The stadium was originally known as Paul Brown Stadium, named after the Bengals' founder, before being rebranded to Paycor Stadium in 2022.
The stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 65,500 spectators.
It is built on a site that historically served as the terminus for the Miami and Erie Canal.
The structure includes a specific 'Bengals Ring of Honor' to commemorate the most significant players and coaches in franchise history.
Paycor Stadium is the open-air home of the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals, situated on the banks of the Ohio River. The facility features a distinctive wavy roofline designed to mimic the rolling hills of the Ohio Valley. It replaced Cinergy Field in 2000 and was the first NFL stadium to be built as a pure football venue in the city. The stadium uses a synthetic turf playing surface, specifically FieldTurf. It serves as a multipurpose venue, hosting concerts, festivals, and high school football championships in addition to professional sports. The seating bowl is divided into three tiers, providing views of both the field and the downtown Cincinnati skyline.
