NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk reports that the Bengals and Hamilton County have until June 30th to agree on a new lease for Paycor Stadium.

The current lease is set to expire after the 2025 NFL season and the two sides are very far apart, with their respective demands. Paycor Stadium needs renovations, and Hamilton County has offered to pay $270 million of the proposed $830 million required for the job. The county asks for $350 million from the state and $210 million from the Bengals. Per PFT, “the team has proposed spending $200 million of its own money, but with $45 million of that coming from money spent “years ago” on renovations.” The county is also asking the Bengals to sign a lease lasting 20 years, but the Bengals are instead angling for a five-year agreement.
