Paycor Stadium Seating Chart
Paycor Stadium is the riverside home of the Cincinnati Bengals, opened in 2000 on the Ohio River and renamed from Paul Brown Stadium in 2022. The open bowl downtown is known for its 'Who Dey' crowds and views across the river to Kentucky.
Sections at Paycor Stadium
The Paycor Stadium chart lists 5 main sections, and the one on your ticket does most of the deciding — price, distance, and view included. Scan the list before you buy, keeping in mind that the event type reshuffles the room: concerts, games, and private buyouts each open different parts of the house.
- Lower level 100s — sideline and end-zone rows nearest the field
- Club level 200s — premium mid-tier with indoor club access
- Upper level 300s — full upper bowl
- End-zone and party sections
- Suites along both sidelines
Best seats at Paycor Stadium
Lower level sections 110-120 on the Bengals sideline near midfield give the best football angle and afternoon shade on the west side. The upper-deck riverfront side adds a skyline-and-river backdrop behind the action.
Tips before you go
It is on the downtown riverfront near The Banks, so park once and stay for the bars and restaurants pre- and post-game. The open bowl means real weather late season; the Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar and riverfront garages feed the gates.
How to read the Paycor Stadium seating chart
Paycor Stadium seats 65,515 around a field, and its chart is organized into 5 named sections — Lower level 100s, Club level 200s, Upper level 300s, End-zone and party sections, and Suites along both sidelines. The exact label on your ticket is what pins your spot: a seat two sections over can sit a level higher, a price tier apart, or on the opposite side of the room.
Every Paycor Stadium seat is really the sum of three choices: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. Put Suites along both sidelines and Lower level 100s side by side and the gap shows up immediately — in level, in price tier, and often in which half of the Cincinnati room you land in. The best-seats notes above settle it for Paycor Stadium; just verify section, row, and seat on the official map before you pay.
For scale: at 65,515 seats, Paycor Stadium ranks 3rd of the 24 Ohio venues in this guide by capacity — Huntington Bank Field (67,431) is the next size up, Great American Ball Park (42,319) the next size down.
Building a seating chart for an event at Paycor Stadium
If your event lands at or near Paycor Stadium — a corporate block, a reception, a team dinner — start from the venue's real geography: sections like Lower level 100s and Suites along both sidelines and the tiers around them set the footprint. Rebuild that footprint in the maker with rounds for the dinner, rows for the program, and a head table where the format wants one, then assign guests and export a PDF for the Cincinnati event-services team. You won't need anywhere near the full 65,515-seat configuration; private blocks live in clubs, suites, and adjacent banquet rooms — exactly the scale the tool handles.
