Paycor Stadium, NFL stadium in Cincinnati, United States.
Paycor Stadium is a sports venue for American football in Cincinnati with seating for more than sixty-five thousand spectators. Two LED screens at opposite ends and a synthetic playing surface define the facility, which sits along the Ohio River waterfront.
Construction finished in the year 2000 at a cost of over half a billion dollars, with most funds coming from public sources. The name change occurred only after more than two decades, when a company acquired the naming rights.
Fans call the venue 'The Jungle,' a reference to the team mascot that shapes the matchday experience with tiger-themed decorations and chants. Supporters often wear orange and black stripes, creating a sense of shared identity that reflects the city's connection to its team.
Entry uses digital tickets on smartphones, which speeds up access and reduces waiting lines. For security reasons, only clear bags are allowed, so visitors should check what they bring beforehand.
The venue kept a non-commercial name for over twenty years, which is rare in modern professional sports. The renaming in 2022 marked a shift toward a sponsorship model that had long been standard at other arenas.
