Paycor Stadium is an American football stadium located in Cincinnati, Ohio that serves as the home for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL).

They first started to build the stadium on April 25, 1998. The Bengals first started playing in the stadium on August 19, 2000. In their first game, they defeated the Chicago Bears 24–20 in a preseason game.[1][2]

The stadium at first didn't have a sponsor and was named Paul Brown Stadium after Paul Brown, the team's founder. The stadium would keep this name until 2021. On August 9, 2022, sponsorship naming rights were sold to Paycor and the stadium was renamed Paycor Stadium.[3]

Bengals fans refer to the stadium as "The Jungle" and the Guns N' Roses song "Welcome to the Jungle" is played as an anthem for the team at games.[4]
