Cincinnati Bengals Tickets - Cincinnati Bengals NFL Schedule - Bengals Tickets
The Cincinnati Bengals came out of the gate strong in 2006, winning all four of their pre-season games – including one against future Super Bowl champs, the Indianapolis Colts. But their glory did not last long, and the Bengals rode a rollercoaster of ups and downs all season, finishing even at 8-8. Perhaps they were distracted by the high-profile legal troubles of several players that led them to miss their nearly clinched wild-card opportunity; or perhaps it was a tightening of the reins that have resulted in a mixed bag of emotions and play – on and off field. Whatever their issues, the Cincinnati Bengals are determined to be the best NFL football team in the league; a feat that seems quite possible with the new addition of first-round draft pick Leon Hall and under the direction of Marvin Lewis, the former defensive coordinator in Baltimore, who sees the team as “being close” to a Super Bowl victory.

The Cincinnati Bengals have been the pride of the Midwest since they formed in 1968 – despite their checkered history of play. They are part of the AFC North and play home games at Paul Brown Stadium. Like much of their league history, the Bengals’ start was a rocky one, beginning at the bottom of the division during their first two years with the American Football League. But in 1970, the first season of the NFL (after the AFL and NFL merged), the Bengals changed their stripes and took first place in the AFC Central. Unfortunately, they lost to the Colts at the division playoffs; but that didn’t seem to daunt the young team, who finished in the top three in the AFC Central for the next few seasons. In 1981, the Cincinnati Bengals won the AFC championship and made their first Super Bowl appearance. But their play was not crown-worthy and the Bengals had to tuck their tails between their legs after losing to the heavily favored San Francisco 49ers. Seven seasons later, in 1988, the Bengals made their second trip to the Super Bowl but history repeated itself and they again lost to the 49ers. By 1990, their spark started to dim and almost went out it seems, as they failed to make any playoff appearances for more than 10 years. But in 2005, they began a serious rebuilding effort that looks like its paying off. The Bengals proudly posted its first winning season since 1990, which put them in the playoffs – and they claimed victory with the AFC North title. Alas, the Super Bowl ring remains elusive, but you can bet that this team won’t be giving up easily. Come watch them rev up for the challenge with Cincinnati Bengals tickets from SeattleTixx.com.

Did You Know
The '''Cincinnati Bengals''' are a professional American football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are currently members of the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Their first season, 1968, was as an American Football League franchise, but they joined the NFL as part of the 1970 AFL-NFL Merger, which had actually been agreed to in 1966.
The Bengals currently conduct summer training camp at Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentucky and play home games at Paul Brown Stadium in Downtown Cincinnati.
Franchise history
By 1966, Paul Brown wanted to become involved in professional football again. James A. Rhodes, then the governor of Ohio, convinced Brown that Ohio needed a second team. Cincinnati was deemed the logical choice, in essence, splitting the state.
Brown named the team the Bengals in order "to give it a link with past professional football in Cincinnati." [AFL II 1937, AFL/APFA 1939, AFL III 1940-1941] from 1937 to 1942. The city's renowned zoo was also home to a rare white Bengal Tiger. However, possibly as an insult to Art Modell, Paul Brown chose the exact shade of orange used by his former team. He added black as the secondary color. Brown chose a very simple logo: the word "BENGALS" in black lettering. Ironically, one of the potential helmet designs Brown rejected was a striped motif that was similar to the helmets adopted by the team in 1981 and which is still in use to this day; however, that design featured orange stripes on a black helmet which were more uniform in width.
However, Brown was not a supporter of the rival American Football League, stating that "I didn't pay ten million dollars to be in the AFL."
There was also a complication: the Major League Baseball Cincinnati Reds were in need of a facility to replace the antiquated, obsolete Crosley Field, which they had used since 1912. Parking nightmares had plagued the city as far back as the 1950s, the little park lacked modern amenities, and New York City, which in 1957 had lost both their National League teams, the Dodgers and the Giants to Los Angeles and San Francisco, respectively, were actively courting Powel Crosley. However, Crosley was adamant that the Reds remain in Cincinnati and tolerated worsening problems with the Crosley Field location, which were increased with the Millcreek Expressway (I-75) project that ran alongside the park.
With assistance from Ohio governor James A. Rhodes, Hamilton County and the Cincinnati city council agreed to build a single multi-purpose facility on the dilapidated riverfront section of the city. The new facility had to be ready by the opening of the 1970 NFL season and was officially named Riverfront Stadium, which was its working title.
With the completion of the merger in 1970, the Cleveland Browns were moved to the AFL-based American Football Conference and placed in the AFC Central, the same division as the Bengals. An instant rivalry was born, fueled initially by Paul Brown's rivalry with Art Modell.
For their inaugural season they played at Nippert Stadium which is the current home of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. The team finished its first season with a 3–11 record, although one bright spot was running back Paul Robinson. Robinson rushed for 1,023 yards and was named the AFL Rookie of the Year.
Founder Paul Brown coached the team for its first eight seasons. One of Brown’s college draft strategies was to draft players with above average intelligence. Punter/wide receiver Pat McInally attended Harvard and linebacker Reggie Williams attended Dartmouth College and served on Cincinnati city council while on the Bengals’ roster. Because of this policy, many former players were highly articulate and went on to have successful careers in commentary and broadcasting as well as the arts. In addition, Brown had a knack for locating and recognizing pro football talent in unusual places.
In the '70s the Bengals moved to play at Riverfront Stadium, a home they shared with the Cincinnati Reds until the team moved to Paul Brown Stadium in 2000. The team would reach the playoffs three times during that decade, but could not win any of those postseason games. In 1975, the team posted an 11-3 record, giving them what is to this day the highest winning percentage (.786) in franchise history. But it only earned them a Wild Card spot in the playoffs, behind the 12–2 Pittsburgh Steelers, who went on to win the Super Bowl, and Bengals lost to the Oakland Raiders 31–28 in the divisional playoffs.
The Bengals would reach the Super Bowl twice during the 1980s, but lost both times to the San Francisco 49ers. Then after appearing in the playoffs in 1990, Paul Brown died. He had already transferred control to his son, Mike Brown, but was reported to still influence the daily operations of the team. Shortly after his passing, the Bengals' fortunes changed for the worse as the team would post 14 consecutive non-winning seasons. The team was so horrible for a long time that in the early 2000's, a running gag with detractors was that college football's Miami Hurricanes could beat the Bengals in a head-to-head matchup.
The Bengals began to emerge from that dismal period into a new era of increased consistency after hiring Marvin Lewis as head coach in 2003. Carson Palmer, the future star quarterback, was drafted in 2003 but did not play a snap that whole season, as Jon Kitna had a comeback year (voted NFL Comeback Player of the Year). Despite Kitna's success, Carson was promoted to starting quarterback the following season. Under Carson, the team advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 1990 in the 2005 season, which marked the first time the team had a winning percentage above .500 since 1988.
Meanwhile, Paul Brown Stadium was built for the 2000 season using private and public money. In tribute to his father, Mike Brown refused corporate offers to have the stadium renamed for their company which became a trend in the NFL and other sports teams around that time.
