The Cincinnati Ben–Gals are the official cheerleading squad of the National Football League team Cincinnati Bengals. The squad performs a variety of dance moves at Paul Brown Stadium, as well as making off-field appearances at charity events, conventions, grand openings, and trade shows. The squad is one of the first NFL Cheerleading squads, having been created by Bengals founder Paul Brown in the 1968 Cincinnati Bengals season, during the team's time in the American Football League.[1][2] As of 2015, the squad has 26 members.[3] The squad also has a "Junior Ben-Gals" group, who performs with their adult counterparts at Bengals games.[4] Annually, the squad sends a Ben-Gal to the Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii, along with cheerleaders from other squads.[5]
In 2009, 40-year-old Laura Vikmanis joined the squad, making her the oldest cheerleader in the NFL.[6]
