The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't the only AFC North team whose home now has a new name.

We are excited to announce: The Jungle is now @Paycor_Stadium!

Paycor is a human capital management company that has been headquartered in Cincinnati for over 30 years. It has served as the team's official HR software provider since 2018. Paycor recently celebrated one year as a public company following a July 2021 IPO.

The Steelers' longtime home of Heinz Field was renamed Acrisure Stadium in July. It was reported late last month that the Bengals were trying to sell the naming rights to Paul Brown Stadium.

The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are currently the only other teams without naming rights agreements for their stadiums. Any revenue earned from an agreement regarding the venue's name could potentially go toward paying for the reported $500 million in renovations that the stadium requires.

"Through a strategic partnership with our hometown team, the Cincinnati Bengals, we are beyond thrilled to introduce Paycor Stadium to the world," Paycor CEO Raul Villar Jr. said. "As Paycor continues to grow and reach customers throughout the U.S., our mission of empowering leaders to build winning teams perfectly aligns with the defending AFC Champions. As longtime fans, this is a big point of employee pride and we are honored to support our local team and build on the legacy of Paul Brown."
