The Bengals are calling Paycor Stadium home for quite a bit longer amidst the expiring lease deal with Hamilton County approaching on June 30. The Enquirer's Jason Williams reported on Thursday the two sides agreed on a deal to keep the team at Paycor Stadium until "at least the mid 2030s."

The deal is expected to get a unanimous "Yes" vote from county commissioners on Thursday. The details of the full deal will come out later, but Cincinnati will have professional football for many years to come via a mix of taxpayer, Bengals, and possibly state funding.
