The National Football League’s (NFL) Cincinnati Bengals will kick off the next phase of enhancements to Paycor Stadium in 2026.
The Bengals said the upcoming renovation of the Clubs and Suites continues a multi-year commitment to elevating the gameday experience for fans across the region.
Recently, the Bengals and Hamilton County have been making strides in modernizing the stadium, including upgraded concessions, expanded plazas, new ribbon boards and increased parking.
The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio (US). The Bengals compete in the NFL as a member of the American Football Conference (AFC) North Division. The team plays its home games at the Paycor Stadium in Downtown Cincinnati.
The 65,515-capacity Paycor Stadium, previously known as the Paul Brown Stadium, is an outdoor football stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio (US). It opened on August 19th, 2000.
The Bengals said the team-funded renovation planned for 2026 marks a major milestone: the 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 Club Renovation Project increases Club seating and reimagines the lounge areas featuring an authentic Bengals-inspired design, high-quality finishes and elevated amenities.
The Suites will also be redesigned for modern, high-end hospitality. Both the Club and Suite projects are led by Warm Construction, an Official Builder of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Fans can look forward to:
- Increased Club Capacity: Over 2,000 new Club Seats to meet growing demand for Club Seats and indoor lounge space.
- Expanded and Upgraded Lounge Spaces: New lounges with contemporary interiors and comfortable seating designed for socializing.
- New Bar Concepts: Additional bars that will dramatically increase points of sale, including a new bar space designed to energize the space and serve as a social hub for fans, as well as a craft beer draft bar to celebrate local offerings.
- Enhanced Video Screens: Additional large-scale video screens to elevate the TV viewing experience for Club patrons.
- Upgraded Restrooms: Modern fixtures and expanded capacity to add comfort and convenience throughout the Club level.
- Enhanced Vertical Transportation: New escalators and elevators to improve entry and exit flow.
These projects are part of broader improvements that Hamilton County and the Bengals will be conducting across all areas of Paycor Stadium.
Fans can expect future projects that continue to enhance the experience for every ticket holder.
