Bengals begin construction on new turf playing surface

Construction is underway at Paycor Stadium.

The ongoing construction continued at Cincinnati Bengals home Paycor Stadium and they have begun working on the new field.

It will be a new FieldTurf CORE system installed as another part of many upgrades they are making over the offseason.

“Hamilton County and the Bengals are committed to providing a top-level playing surface for NFL games, and this step confirms that commitment,” Paycor Stadium Managing Director Steve Johnson said, via press release. “The field will be installed in time for the entire 2024 NFL season.”

This makes the Bengals the eighth team in the NFL to use field turf, including the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, New York Jets, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks.

“We are honored to return to Cincinnati, renewing a vastly successful partnership,” Eric Daliere, President – Tarkett North America & Tarkett Sports said. “This project highlights FieldTurf’s unwavering dedication to delivering superior performance and innovation at the highest level. With regional offices in Ohio, our local and national teams are thrilled to once again be the surface of choice for such a storied franchise.”

Bengals talk Paycor Stadium upgrades, impact on lease

The Bengals have some big changes coming to Paycor Stadium.

The Cincinnati Bengals have big upgrades planned for Paycor Stadium.

Those include upgraded seats and concessions stands, upgrades to the locker room as well as the big-ticket item — a new turf playing surface.

Speaking with reporters this week, Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn said some of the renovations (of course) have to do with the desire to get a new lease done with Hamilton County.

Blackburn noted the following, too, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com: “Because the stadium is 25 years old and we want to keep it in the great condition that it has been in, we have been focused on how we keep maintaining it so we can hopefully make it last a little bit longer into the future. We’re very happy with our stadium, but it does require things to be done over time to keep it up to standards, so we’ve been working hard trying to make sure we do that, rather than getting too far behind.”

The current upgrades to Paycor Stadium are part of a $39 million renovation plan approved by Hamilton County. That lease technically expires in June of 2026.

Bengals upgrading seats, concession stands at Paycor Stadium

The Bengals are making big moves at the stadium.

The Cincinnati Bengals‘ home, Paycor Stadium, is undergoing renovations this offseason as part of a multi-year project.

About 12,500 seats have been removed, according to Bret Buganski of WCPO, and the county said they will be replaced with seats that are more comfortable. Renovations they have already done include upgrading the concession stands and adding LED ribbon boards around the stadium.

It’s part of a $39 million renovation to improve the stadium, which is now 23 years old. Work crews are aiming to have the seating done by the next big event that takes place in the stadium, which would be before the NFL season begins.

The stadium entrance is also being renovated so access to get in and out is much easier and doesn’t get too congested, according to Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus.
