Travel
Overview
Paycor Stadium sits on the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, making it walkable from most downtown hotels. Cincinnati's public transit is limited compared to other NFL cities, most fans drive or use rideshare. The I-71/I-75 corridor brings fans from across the metro area, and Northern Kentucky residents can walk across the scenic Roebling Suspension Bridge. Parking is plentiful but fills up fast for popular games.
