"Upper Level Seating - N/A "



Special Incentives for Full Renewal of 2014 Football Season Tickets
If you were a 2013 UC Football season ticket holder and renew the same quantity of seats in 2014, you will receive:

-Two (2) complimentary 2014 Paul Brown Stadium club seats to a game of your choice (based on availability)
-First opportunity to purchase UC vs. Ohio State away tickets
-2x priority points for 2014 campaign year

Picking Your Seats at Paul Brown Stadium
All season ticket holders will have a designated day and time to personally select 2014 season ticket locations at Paul Brown Stadium. Appointment days and times are based upon 2014 UCATS pledges and overall priority points. In late February, we will begin to distribute 2014 football season ticket renewal and UCATS membership renewal information.

No upper level seating from that document. Sell everything else first so the crowds looks better

So I've seen in the past that UC uses their own banners at PBS... But will the field still be "Bengalized" during UC games or will we bring out our own turf??

I would imagine that everything at PBS will be "Bengalized" as I think it would be too difficult for them (PBS) to change all the signage and field decorations in the time allowed.

Especially for one season.

I was told by someone in the athletic department several years ago that when the Bengals put down the new turf the end zones and center of the field would be velcroed in and could be exchanged with UC logos. This was when there was some talk about UC moving all their games to PBS. I have no idea if it ever happened.

Flags and sideline walls are easily switched out.

The biggest issue will be the contracts for sponsors.

I don't know if the center B can be swapped out but I think the banners that surround the field look to be easily changed. The current turf looks like it is one continual piece.

tweeted bengals turf guy, he said
We have yet to have dicussions with UC about branding of PBS but soon. I would expect something.

Pitt and South Florida had at least secondary markings on their NFL fields as I recall but then again they were permanent tenants. Seems PBS could add some removable markings for each of our 6 or 7 home dates as a minimum expectation.

Tangential point here but that Bengal "B" has always bugged me; you don't see the Bears using a "B" but rather their wishbone "C." The Ravens have a "B" on their helmets. To me, not using some stylized "C" just affirms it's all about their organization instead of our city. So when the locals fans finally tire of mediocrity, the Brown family can move the operation to Los Angeles or San Jose and use their same logo.

I thought we already had our PBS seats picked out from 2 years ago?

I hate the B too but for different reasons... Just liked the Bengal head and leaping tiger logos so much better

It is odd that the Bengals never really branded themselves with the city. I like the old helmet that spelled out Bengals, leaping tiger, and tiger stripes but can't stand the "B" either. I imagine that part of the issue would be that either a "C" or "Cincinnati" mark might look too closely to what UC and the Reds use. To avoid lawsuits and create a brand identity it was a safer bet to go with the "B" because its unique.

From a fan standpoint you can get away with wearing UC gear to Reds games and Reds gear to UC games because the color schemes are very close to each other. Heck I do that sometimes just because I like a certain hat or shirt. Why the logos today don't look alike the Reds' "Cincinnati" mark isn't that different from UC's vintage "Cincinnati" mark. (think throwback basketball jersey and compare that to the Reds' arched Cincinnati).

Good points about the Reds/UC similarity in response to the "conspiracy to leave town" theory. I'll add one more: I'm no Chicago Bears logo historian, but I do know they've been around a lot longer than the Bengals and are pretty well known for their use of an orange "C" and navy blue (which is mighty close to the Bengals orange and black):

@PrezOno: Paul Brown Stadium info: 27,300 seats in the lower bowl, 21,500 in the upper bowl, 104 luxury suites and 7,500 to 8,000 club seats.
