Hamilton County Commissioner votes no on a much-needed update to Paycor Stadium

It might take fans a bit longer to get around Paycor Stadium this upcoming season.

Hamilton County Commissioners recently voted 2-1 to replace six escalators in the stadium. Because of that lone ‘No’ vote, plans will not move forward for the $1.5 million project.

Alicia Reese was the lone Commissioner to vote no, according to Chris Wetterich or Cincinnati Business Courier.

One of the big reasons for this vote was the Cincinnati Bengals stating the escalators in question are "unsafe." Reese took issue with this.

“If the place is unsafe, it needs to be shut down today,” Reece said, according to Wetterich.
