The Cincinnati Bengals were founded in 1968 by coach Paul Brown as an AFL expansion team. The club has reached the Super Bowl three times, after the 1981, 1988, and 2021 seasons, but has come up short each time and has yet to win a championship.
The Cincinnati Bengals are an AFC North franchise based in Cincinnati, Ohio, having reached the Super Bowl twice (in the 1980s and early 2020s) without a title so far.
Seating Guide
Paycor Stadium is an open-air venue along the Ohio River.
“Who Dey!” has been chanted since 1980, and Bengals fans are widely credited as the first in the NFL to popularize this style of chant. One popular origin theory traces it back to vendors at Riverfront Stadium shouting “Hudy” (short for the local Hudepohl beer brand), which sounded like “Who Dey.”
