Cincinnati Bengals Tickets Information
The Cincinnati Bengals are one of 4 teams in the American Football Conference North Division (AFC North) – along with the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, and Pittsburgh Steelers - and one of 16 teams in the AFC which in turn is one of the two conferences in the National Football League (NFL).
The Bengals have been playing football since 1968 as part of the American Football League, Western Division of which they remained until 1969. During that time they won no division or conference championships.
The Cincinnati Bengals joined the NFL and the AFC Central Division in 1970, winning 5 Division championships between then and 2001 (specifically 1970, 1973, 1981, 1988, 1990) when they left the AFC Central and switched to the AFC North Division where they remain today. Since then they have made it to 1 AFC North Division championship (2005) and 2 AFC conference championships (beating the San Diego Chargers 27-7 in 1981 and beating the Buffalo Bills 21-10 in 1988). Since the 1966 advent of the Super Bowl, the Bengals have played in 2 Super Bowls, both times against the San Francisco 49ers and won none.
Since 2000, the Cincinnati Bengals have played their home games at the 65,000+ seat Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. Before that, they had played since 1970 at Riverfront Stadium (known for a time as Cinergy Field). The team uniform colors are orange, black, and white, and their mascot is Who Dey, a Bengal Tiger. “Who Dey!” is also the team’s official chant.
They are currently under the leadership of head coach Marvin Lewis who has been in this role since 2003. Before that, he was on the coaching and administrative staff of the Washington Redskins, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and NCAA football teams for the University of Pittsburgh, University of New Mexico, and Long Beach State, and Idaho State University. His career record is 46-49-1 for the regular season, 0-1-0 postseason, and 46-50-1 overall.
A number of Bengals have earned their way into the pro football history books, including the following who’ve been honored by entry into NFL Hall of Fame: coach Paul Brown (1968-1991; inducted 1967), wide receiver Charlie Joiner (1972-75; inducted 1996), and offensive tackle Anthony Munoz (1980-92; inducted 1998).
They’re the team that gave us the Ickey Shuffle, the Ickey Woods victory dance that provocated the NFL issuing penalties for such behavior, giving rise to the league’s periodic nickname, the “No Fun League”.
The Cincinnati Bengals finished out 2008/2009 with a .250 regular season record (4 wins, 11 losses, 1 tie). Get your Cincinnati Bengals tickets and see if they can turn it around this season.
