Proposed Ohio Law could impact Paycor Stadium

Tough timing, if it passes.

The Cincinnati Bengals invested over $39 million into Paycor Stadium this offseason after announcing that they plan to do over $100 million in upgrades in the coming years.

The new playing surface looks great, but the team may soon have to remove it altogether.

On Tuesday, July 30th, Ohio lawmakers are expected to introduce a bill that would require all professional sports teams in the state to have playing surfaces that are at...

Corey Dillon wants to see Bob Trumpy and others inducted into the Bengals Ring of Honor

Trumpy is easily among the best players in Bengals history.

Who will headline Day 3 of Bengals Camp?

Greetings Bengals fans! Day 3 of training camp is set to kick off at the Paycor Stadium practice fields.

It appears Joe Burrow will not be throwing today, so this will be a practice that backups Jake Browning, Rocky Lombardi, and Logan Woodside get plenty of reps in.

As usual, gates open at 1:15 pm ET, while practice begins at 2:15 pm and ends around 4:10 pm. It’s another session limited to just season ticket holders and waitlist members.

After getting Saturday off, the Bengals will host their annual Back Together Weekend...

Joe Burrow calls receivers “the deepest and most talented group” he’s had since joining Bengals

The QB is really encouraged so far in camp.

The Cincinnati Bengals went above and beyond in making up for the inevitable departure of Tyler Boyd. And apparently it’s working out.

The Bengals drafted Charlie Jones and Andrei Iosivas last year and Jermaine Burton this year. They also added Mike Gesicki in free agency and drafted rookie tight end Erick All.

So far, Joe Burrow likes what he sees in these new (and relatively new) pieces after their first training camp practice this year:

I feel really good about all of our options, whether it’s Andrei, Chuck, Jermaine, Trenton...

Anthony is perhaps best known for eating Jayden Daniels’ soul in the clip above.
