help Paycor Stadium FAQ
Why was Paul Brown Stadium renamed Paycor Stadium?

What is the seating capacity of Paycor Stadium?
It holds about 65,500 fans for Bengals games. The stadium sits right on the Ohio River downtown, and the riverfront setting is part of the gameday tailgating scene.
Why do people call Paycor Stadium 'The Jungle'?
The nickname predates the Paycor deal and ties into the Bengals' tiger identity and the fans' 'Who Dey' chant. Locals still call it The Jungle even though the corporate name changed.
Is Paycor Stadium one of the NFL stadiums with real grass?
Yes, it has long been one of the NFL venues that maintains a natural grass playing surface, which is increasingly rare as most teams have shifted to synthetic turf. Players often cite natural-grass stadiums as easier on the body.
