The Cincinnati Bengals and Hamilton County agreed to terms on a new lease Thursday that keeps the NFL team at Paycor Stadium through June 2036. The deal features a $470 million plan to renovate the 25-year-old building and includes 10 additional option years that could extend the agreement to 2046.

"The Bengals are proud to call Paycor Stadium our home and to keep our future here in Cincinnati where it belongs," said Blackburn. Hamilton County commissioners approved the deal with a 2-0 vote, while Commissioner Alicia Reece abstained, citing the need to review the full lease before offering her support.
