The Cincinnati Bengals, along with Hamilton County, have released their potential renovation plans for Paycor Stadium while petitioning the state of Ohio for $350 million to help fund the project, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.
This seems like the first positive step the two sides have taken together. They’re currently up against a June 30th deadline to sign the first of five rolling two-year lease extensions. If this deadline passes, it means the Bengals could technically play wherever they wanted after the 2026 season. They have, however, stated they wish to stay right where they’re at, it’s just progress between the Brown/Blackburn families and the county has been slow.
