The key takeaways are that Paul Brown Stadium is in good condition overall due to ongoing maintenance and care, and its original design positions it well for the future needs of sports facilities. However, ongoing investments will be needed to maintain and modernize the stadium over the next 20 years.

The timeline outlines that in late 2018 the Bengals and County agreed to hire an architectural firm to perform a capital audit and assessment of Paul Brown Stadium. Gensler and Elevar were selected for this work in late 2019 and early 2020. They have since performed the assessment and are now starting the masterplan process.

The facility conditions assessment analyzed the structure, roof, code/accessibility, MEP systems, architecture/interiors, technology/AV/broadcast, security, food/beverage/retail, and vertical transportation within the stadium.
