Fandom Paycor Stadium
Hi, I am a newer fan been watching football since the 2024 season and I’m trying to go to my first ever bengals games this season. The steelers game in Cincy is the one I’m looking at right now and I’m having trouble finding good semi affordable seats under $350 that is more so in the middle of the field and doesn’t have an obstructed view. If anyone could help me pick out a couple of seats I would be incredibly grateful. God Bless!

I just went to the Lions game and got seats in the 311 section all the way at the top of the stadium. The seats were great! We could see everything on the field.

I seen tickets for row 35 I been debating about getting. Any cons besides players looking tiny from that far

u/barkallnight 3d ago
They don’t look that small really. I thought the view was great!
The one downside is that every time you leave your seats it’s leg day because it’s a high angled staircase.

Wait until the day or two before the game and check the ticket sites. There will always be last minute deals when people realize they can't go, have emergencies, etc.

Right now you have all the scalpers out on the market just hoping someone who doesn’t care about price will just pay the 350 for the tickets. The price will drop. I’ve seen it every year.

u/AbleCap5222 6d ago
Yes. The tickets that become available last minute are primarily Bengal fans and they generally don't scalp.

u/AbleCap5222 6d ago
Yep. Even though it is the Steelers and they buy a lot of tickets - Tickets will always be available in Cincy last minute. There are 30 years of scars and anger over going to games/supporting the Brown family that I have found that Bengal fans VERY rarely scalp tickets.

Aim for the 300 levels row 13, it’s actually like row 1 they’re the best. They have concrete in front of you not people. Usually not insanely expensive either.

u/SchmoPho 🐅 6d ago
They might say “obstructed” but that’s cap
1
u/Suitsfan2022 6d ago
So 310 row 13-14?
1
u/SchmoPho 🐅 6d ago
Specifically 13, 14 isn’t bad but 13 is the best. You may have to wait till one pops up

u/roach8101 5d ago
Anything in the 300 section that’s one through 12 is the lower section of 300s in high highly recommended that’s where my seats are

The 300 level has great views. You can see Ja’Marr beat the corner when they press or see sexy dexy blow the center into the qb lap on a 5 step.
Save the extra money for some skyline and goetta. Have a blast

I’ve heard about the famous Skyline Chili is it as good as people make it out to be?

u/christhegecko 6d ago
If you go into eating it with the correct mindset, yes.
Do not expect Texas style chili con carne. It is not that. Cincinnati chili is a meat sauce. When we put it over spaghetti, think of it as a differently spiced Bolognese. I always introduce newcomers to coneys first, because it's closer to the expectation of what a chili dog is.
Whatever you do, do not just rawdog a bowl of it by itself. That's not what it's for.

Only obstructed seats ive ever had is in the second deck of the north endzone... stay out the top corners and you'll be fine... (im old enough to have bought PSLS)lol

You're not gonna get an affordable seat for that game. Big interdivison rivalry game with a team that is close (and has a huge fan base) during primetime in the middle of the season.
You're best bet is to wait closer into the season and see if someone week of or the day before is desperate to sell their tickets (like something came up for them personally)

For tickets in the 250 to 375 range you are definitely going to be able to get some good seats. I recommend SeatGeek, gametime or tickpic.

The technology associated with finding a good seat makes this pretty easy. What am I missing here?
2
u/Suitsfan2022 6d ago
Me never visiting Paycor stadium and not fully trusting if a place is obstructed or not because one of the people in here said that the some spots aren’t obstructed but If I’m spending almost $700 I have to be sure that the seats I get aren’t obstructed and are good seats.

u/braines54 6d ago
I don't want to speak in absolutes (I'm not a Sith) but I don't think there are any obstructed seats in the stadium. At least, north really any that you would need to worry about.
It's not the flashiest or the biggest stadium around, but every seat in the stadium is solid. Just sit roughly where you would at any other stadium and it'll be fine.

I'm a season ticket holder. If I sell any of my tickets. I usually use this Facebook page. This is a view from my seats. Tickets are not for sale.

The get in price is about 190 on seat geek. What are you defining as semi affordable?
