Given that the county didn't sell the naming rights around 2009 (huge sales tax decline from recession), I think it is safe to say the team owns those rights.
Btw, this is one of the things that really gets Jerry Jones going. He doesn't think the Bengals are really trying to max franchise value and one of the things he points at is the stadium naming rights. Interesting perspective since most locally think Mike Brown only cares about maxing value; some of his peers don't think he's even trying.
Googled it... The Bengals paid $5,000,000 for the naming rights long ago. Yikes Hamilton County!
