For the Cincinnati Bengals' inaugural season they played at Nippert Stadium which is the current home of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats and finished its first season with a 3-11 record.  Founder Paul Brown coached the Cincinnati Bengals for its first three seasons, accumulating 15 wins and 27 losses and one tie.  Four men coached the Cincinnati Bengals to a 72-76 record during the 70's.  In the '70s the Cincinnati Bengals moved to play at Riverfront Stadium, a home they shared with the Cincinnati Reds until the team moved to Paul Brown Stadium in 2000.  Paul Brown, legendary NFL personality and innovator, died in 1991. He had already transferred control to his son, Mike Brown, but was reported to still influence the daily operations of the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Cincinnati Bengals' first season, 1968, was as an American Football League franchise, but they joined the NFL as part of the 1970 AFL-NFL Merger.  The Cincinnati Bengals are a professional American football team based in Cincinnati, Ohio.  The Cincinnati Bengals began to emerge from more than a decade of being the worst-performing team of that era, edging out the Cardinals, into a new era of increased consistency under Marvin Lewis.  The Cincinnati Bengals were an entertaining and successful team reaching the Super Bowl twice, but overall, the 1980s was a decade of missed opportunities for the team.  They are currently members of the Northern Division of the American Football Conference in the National Football League.
