Bengals Exec on Stadium Situation: 'We Could Go Wherever We Wanted After This Year'

The Cincinnati Bengals have called Paycor Stadium—formerly Paul Brown Stadium, named for the franchise's founder—home since it opened in 2000. Executive vice president (and Brown's granddaughter) Katie Blackburn says that she likes the stadium's downtown location and hopes to secure the team's future there, though she made clear that the franchise could leave in just over a year when the lease expires.

The deadline to decide that future, however, is much closer. The Bengals hold options for two- and five-year renewals, but must give the county 12-month notice of their decision, putting the deadline at June 30.
