The Cincinnati Bengals had a magical season in 2021. They went all the way to the Super Bowl, where they were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams.
Their journey started at the Paul Brown Stadium, which they have called home since 2000. However, the stadium will be getting a new name -- Paycor Stadium -- after the team inked a new long-term deal with Paycor.
The news was not well received by fans, who took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the name change.
Here are the top comments:
Many fans focused on quarterback Joe Burrow:

A couple of fans were hoping for the new stadium to be named Skyline Chili Stadium:
Although their home stadium will take on a new name, the legacy of Paul Brown will live on forever. Brown was one of football's most prominent coaches and the founder of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Team President Mike Brown, the son of the Hall of Fame coach and founder of the franchise, said his father would have agreed to the deal:
"This is a move that I think my father would have agreed to. He was always for what is best for the football team. This partnership allows the Bengals to continue to compete at the highest level in the NFL and exemplifies our long-term commitment to the community."
The Cincinnati Bengals' history in the Paul Brown Stadium
Since 2000, Cincinnati has called the Paul Brown Stadium home. They have played 181 regular-season games and five postseason games in the stadium. The first was in the 2005 season, where they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers by a score of 31-17.
Their last playoff game at the stadium was in the 2021 campaign, where they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 26-19.
While most Cincinnati fans will still call it Paul Brown Stadium, the renaming signals a shift for the franchise.
The Bengals are on the rise and will be determined to make another appearance in the Super Bowl in the 2022 season. They certainly have the roster to make a run at it.
