Paul
Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals,
has become a pace setter in the NFL since
its opening in 2000. Prior to moving into
Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals played at
Cinergy Field, which was a multipurpose
stadium. In the mid 1990’s the team
began wanting a new football only facility.
In 1996, voters approved a bill that allowed
the stadium to be built. The stadium was
constructed just a couple of blocks away
from Cinergy Field along the banks of the
Ohio River. Ground breaking ceremonies took
place on April 25, 1998. Unlike many other
teams in the NFL, the Bengals decided not
to sell the naming rights to the stadium.
Instead they decided to honor their founder,
Paul Brown, and name the stadium, Paul Brown
Stadium.
