The Cincinnati Bengals will continue to play their home games at Paycor Stadium for at least another decade and potentially through the 2045 season. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the franchise finalized with Hamilton County a new lease that keeps them in town on an 11-year extension through June 2036.

Bengals Vice President Troy Blackburn wanted to extend the 1997 stadium lease rather than continue negotiations.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Hamilton County finalized a new 11-year lease on Friday that includes $470 million in renovations to Paycor Stadium. Hamilton County commissioners approved a version of the lease on Thursday but the Bengals did not sign because they had not seen the version that county officials approved.
