The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio. They compete in the National Football League as a member of the American Football Conference North division and play their home games at Paycor Stadium in downtown Cincinnati. The former Cleveland Browns coach Paul Brown began planning the franchise in 1965, and in 1967 a group headed by Brown received franchise approval from the American Football League on May 23. The Bengals began play in the 1968 season as the AFL's tenth and final franchise, a few years before the AFL and NFL merged, and Brown served as their head coach until 1975. Cincinnati chose the city after a deal produced a stadium that could host both baseball and football.
