The agreement reached Thursday would approve $470 million renovations to Paycor Stadium and extend the Bengals' lease at the stadium for 11 years. "We are proud to call Paycor Stadium our home and to keep our future here in Cincinnati, where it belongs." The Bengals and Hamilton County have sought state funds for Paycor Stadium renovations. "I really didn't think we'd be here today at all," Hamilton County commissioner Stephanie Summerow Dumas said at Thursday's meeting.
