Cincinnati has a long history of loyal fans, who are now enjoying their first football-only stadium named after the founder and first head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. The new stadium honors the late Paul Brown, the pro football Hall of Famer who brought pro football to Cincinnati in 1968 as Bengals founder, general manager and head coach.
The stadium's asymmetrical, open-ended design allows for views of the downtown skyline and the riverfront. In addition, almost 70 percent of the seats are along the sidelines.
The directive for the design of the technical systems was to make the stadium a premier venue for watching football. Our design for this new stadium features large screen video LED displays, sideline LED displays and a distributed stadium bowl loudspeaker system. The design concept for scoreboards was the most extensive use of LED in the NFL at the time the stadium opened.
Our design services also included broadcast booths and the scoreboard video control room. The control room is capable of producing game-day video, commercials and coaches shows.
