This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.

About Paycor Stadium

Paycor Stadium is a large open-air stadium located at One Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. It opened in 2000 as Paul Brown Stadium and was renamed Paycor Stadium in 2022 under a naming-rights agreement. The stadium is owned by Hamilton County, Ohio, operated by the Cincinnati Bengals, and seats approximately 65,515 fans for football, with configurations that adjust for concerts and other events.

The venue is the home of the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL and one of Cincinnati’s signature riverfront sports landmarks. Its event mix includes Bengals home games, playoff football, large-scale stadium concerts across country and pop/rock, and other special events and community gatherings. Past and scheduled stadium concert activity includes major touring acts such as Kenny Chesney and Chris Stapleton’s All-American Road Show with Lainey Wilson and Allen Stone.

Set along the Ohio River with sightlines toward the river and the Kentucky skyline, Paycor Stadium is closely tied to The Banks entertainment district and the Bengals’ game-day identity as “The Jungle.”

Location & Transportation

Paycor Stadium is located at One Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH 45202 — on the downtown Cincinnati riverfront along the Ohio River and directly connected to The Banks entertainment district.

Transit: The Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar serves the downtown and riverfront area, with stops near The Banks within walking distance of the stadium. Metro bus routes also serve downtown Cincinnati, making transit a practical option for many events because of the central riverfront location.

Driving and Parking: Paycor Stadium is surrounded by numerous parking garages and surface lots at The Banks and throughout Cincinnati’s central business district. Lots fill ahead of kickoff on Bengals game days, so arriving early is advisable. Parking is also available across the river in Newport and Covington, Kentucky, with a walk across the bridge to the stadium.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are widely used because of the downtown setting. After events, expect congestion around The Banks and use the designated pickup zones in the area for the smoothest exit.

Nearby Accommodation: Numerous downtown Cincinnati hotels are within walking distance of Paycor Stadium. Additional lodging is available across the river in Covington and Newport, Kentucky, for fans who want riverfront access with a short walk or bridge crossing to the venue.

Venue Navigation

Paycor Stadium is a large, open-air football bowl with multiple gates around its perimeter and seating levels that wrap the field. Understanding your gate, level, and section before arriving helps make entry easier on busy Bengals game days and high-demand concert nights.

Entrances and Access: Multiple gates around the stadium perimeter provide access to the seating bowl. Guests enter from surrounding plazas and riverfront concourses, with stadium staff and signage directing traffic toward the proper gate and section.

Seating Levels: Paycor Stadium’s open-air bowl is organized into lower, club, suite, and upper seating levels. Club lounges and premium areas serve guests in designated sections, while the upper deck encircles the field for wider stadium views.

Accessibility: ADA-accessible seating, entrances, restrooms, and services are available throughout the stadium. Accessible parking is available in nearby lots and garages.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and staff help direct guests to gates, levels, and sections. Because the stadium uses multiple levels, ramps, stairs, and perimeter gates, checking your gate and level before arriving can save time once crowds build around the entrances.

Dining Options

Inside Paycor Stadium

Paycor Stadium offers a full range of concessions, including stadium staples, local Cincinnati favorites such as chili offerings, beer, and alcohol. Premium club and suite areas include upgraded dining options for guests seated in those spaces. Lines are typically busiest close to kickoff, showtime, halftime, and major breaks, so building in extra time helps keep the visit moving.

Downtown Cincinnati offers additional dining options within a short distance, and the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood expands the choices with more restaurants, bars, and gathering spots for fans making a full day or night out of the event.

How Much Do Tickets to Paycor Stadium Cost?

Paycor Stadium ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Bengals regular-season games to playoff matchups and major stadium concerts.

For Cincinnati Bengals regular-season games, upper-level and end-zone seats can start around $50–$120, while lower-bowl and premium seats run higher depending on the opponent, date, and seat location.

For marquee divisional matchups and playoff games, prices are often higher and can reach $150 or more depending on the matchup and demand. Primetime games and high-interest opponents can increase demand across the stadium.

For stadium concerts, tickets typically range from around $50 for upper-level seats to several hundred dollars or more for floor and premium seating, depending on the headliner, day of week, and event configuration.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing, particularly for high-demand games and major concerts. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections often rise.

Getting Ready for Your Paycor Stadium Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large open-air riverfront stadium with downtown crowds, multiple gates, and event-day traffic around The Banks.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service can be congested during sold-out events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time on game days to navigate downtown parking fill and pre-event congestion around The Banks.
• Wear the right footwear. Paycor Stadium involves stairs and ramps across multiple levels, so comfortable, supportive shoes are recommended.
• Dress in layers. The open-air riverfront setting is exposed to weather, including cold and wind during late-season games. Bring layers or rain gear as needed.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown streets, lots, and rideshare areas can become crowded before kickoff and after major events.
• Know your entrance. Your gate and level appear on your ticket, and reviewing them before you arrive helps you move more efficiently through a large multi-gate stadium.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
