Cincinnati Bengals Release Renderings Of Renovations At Paycor Stadium

The Cincinnati Bengals are heading into the next phase of a multi-year project at Paycor Stadium to elevate the gameday experience for fans.

The Bengals and Hamilton County have been making strides in modernizing the 66,000-cap stadium, which opened in August 2000, with upgraded concessions, expanded plazas, new ribbon boards and increased parking.

The team-funded $120 million renovation is planned for 2026 with a comprehensive overhaul of Club spaces and Suites. These projects are set to enhance the premium experience at Paycor Stadium alongside broader improvements coming as a part of the new lease agreement signed this summer. The agreement between the Cincinnati Bengals and Hamilton County was finalized on Aug. 1 and secures the team’s presence at the stadium through 2036, with additional options that could extend it until June 2046.

The Club renovation project increases Club seating and reimagines lounge areas featuring a Bengals-inspired design with quality finishes and elevated amenities. Additional large-scale video screens will be installed to elevate TV viewing for Club patrons. The Suites will also be modernized. Both the Club and Suite projects are led by Warm Construction, the official builder of the team.

The renovations will increase Club capacity with more than 2,000 new Club seats added to meet growing demand. Lounge spaces are going to be expanded and upgraded with contemporary interiors and comfortable seating for socializing.

The plan includes new bar concepts that will increase point of sale opportunities – including a new bar space designed to serve as a social hub as well as a craft beer draft bar serving local brews.

Maximizing crowd flow and patron convenience, restrooms will be updated with modern fixtures and expanded capacity throughout the Club level. New escalators and elevators will be added to improve entry and exit. These projects are part of broader improvements that Hamilton County and the Bengals will be conducting across all areas of Paycor Stadium with future projects expected but not announced.
