Paul Brown Stadium, 2004-present

After four years of difficulty keeping the natural grass surface of Paul Brown Stadium in good condition, the Bengals had FieldTurf installed on July 3, 2004.  This meant that the days of changing the field design every year were over, but it also meant a clean field and the return of the bright orange end zones from the Bengals' days at Riverfront.

Variations:

• NFL Playoffs logos appeared at the 50 yard line, above and below the leaping tiger, for the Bengals' Wild Card game on Jan. 8, 2006 against the Steelers.


• The NFL logos at the 25 yard lines were added for the 2007 season.  In 2008, the NFL logo was updated (to include 8 stars representing the eight divisions), and the field logos were changed to reflect this.


• NFL Kickoff logos appeared at the 25 yard lines for the Bengals' Week 1 game on Sept. 10, 2007 against the Ravens (but not for their 2009 season opener against the Broncos).
