NFL Films footage from the Bengals’ inaugural season in 1968 features pre-expansion Nippert Stadium
The Cincinnati Bengals spent their first three seasons at Nippert Stadium (1968-1970).
Today, for your viewing pleasure, is the NFL Films’ 1968 season review of the expansion AFL Cincinnati Bengals. This video includes many excellent glimpses of Nippert Stadium in its 1954-1991 configuration, which seated 28,000. When the Bengals played at Nippert Stadium, they had the smallest seating capacity in professional football.
