Bengals unveil updated, modernized locker rooms

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals announced they have modernized their locker room, which boosts a clean, cool design incorporating tradition with high-end technology.

According to the Bengals’ organization, the renovation project provides a best-in-class working environment for the football team with new, state-of-the-art lockers, upgraded restroom facilities, and an open design with higher ceilings that help maximize the original football-shape footprint to enable team connectivity.

“We hope it’s an energizing, high-end, professional setting for our players every day,” said Bengals Director of Strategy and Engagement Elizabeth Blackburn. “We had a great project team who delivered a clean, cool space with functional, efficient lockers that achieve our players’ needs. We paired modern features like chargers for the growing number of devices and drying units for equipment with custom details in many places in the lockers that feature our franchise’s great brand and history.”

“It’s unbelievable. The players are going to love all the features in the new locker room,” said Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor. “This is an investment in our football team and shows the organization’s commitment to delivering a top-tier, player-friendly environment. We appreciate the Brown and Blackburn families’ leadership and support on this project.”

The Bengals’s organization said additional features will include a fuel station, and circadian rhythm lighting that can sync to music from the new sound system. The renovated locker room will also allow for increased Wi-Fi.
