The Cincinnati Bengals have threatened to veto the proposed site of a new concert venue at The Banks that would be operated by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

The group that makes recommendations for developments at The Banks selected the CSO as the preferred developer for a new concert venue early last month.

The orchestra has proposed building a $19.25 million, three-story venue on a parcel known as Lot 27, southeast of Paul Brown Stadium near Smale Riverfront Park.

But the Bengals' stadium lease with Hamilton County gives the team the right of first refusal for any development there.
