Paul Brown Stadium might be getting a new name.
Per Kelsey Conway and the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Cincinnati Bengals are “close to a deal” for the naming rights of the stadium.
Paul Brown Stadium has been the name of the Bengals’ stadium since its completion in 2000. Named after the franchise’s founder, the stadium has seen renovations in recent years, but never has its name been a topic of change until now.
Mike Brown, the team’s owner/president and son of Paul, has notoriously been partial to tradition, which has only furthered the unlikelihood of the name ever changing under his watch.
