In 1968 the Cincinnati Bengals began playing in the NFL as an expansion team. They had enough players. They had coaches. They had all the other equipment a team needs. They had everything a team needs except a stadium to play in. Thus, they played their first games at the University of Cincinnati's football stadium. Even though they were a fully franchised NFL team they had to use someone else's stadium. They would have to wait until 1970 for their stadium to be completed.
