Hamilton County has proposed a $1.2 billion renovation plan for Paycor Stadium, which is essential for ongoing lease negotiations with the Cincinnati Bengals, whose current lease expires in 2026. The plan includes updates such as new club seats, an indoor practice facility, and enhanced fan amenities, but it does not outline how the renovations will be financed, raising concerns about funding without new taxes. County officials aim to use existing sales tax revenues to cover their portion, while also seeking additional support from the NFL and state government. The Bengals' facility has received low grades from the NFLPA, prompting these upgrades to address player concerns. County Commission President Alicia Reece emphasized that any new agreement must improve the existing taxpayer burden, which currently covers 95% of costs. Renderings reveal significant changes to the stadium and surrounding areas, but further discussions are needed to finalize details and funding.
