The Cincinnati Bengals' new indoor facility is getting a name.

The naming rights for the temporary indoor facility were recently acquired by Integrity Express Logistics, an international logistics company based in Blue Ash. It will be a multiyear partnership. Integrity Express ranked 24th on the 2021 Deloitte Cincinnati 100 list of the largest privately held companies in the Cincinnati region, with 2020 revenues in excess of $525 million and 502 employees.

The new facility is scheduled to be completed by November.

Earlier this year, the team announced its plans to build an interim indoor training facility. The practice bubble, currently under construction, will be located south of Mehring Way between the Brent Spence and Clay Wade Bailey bridges. The site is southwest across Mehring Way from the Bengals' current outdoor facility.

What will the Bengals' indoor training facility include?

The new temporary facility will consist of a removable and inflated 75-foot high air dome that attaches to a concrete footer. The facility will have a regulation-size interior turf practice field, an 8-foot security fence and 187 parking spaces.

The practice bubble will be removable if the Ohio River floods. A city ordinance allowing construction of the bubble allows it to be in place for no more than five years, The Enquirer has previously reported.

The Bengals will continue their search for land on the current site of Hilltop Concrete, where they can build a permanent indoor facility.
