The giant Heinz ketchup bottles are coming down and the fan base is in pain over it.

Crews on Monday morning removed the first of two ketchup bottles that framed the scoreboard at the former Heinz Field. It was just last week when the stadium announced that Kraft Heinz no longer held the naming rights for the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers and University of Pittsburgh football team.

Michigan-based financial tech insurance brokerage Acrisure now owns rights to the field, which will be called Acrisure Stadium. The new 15-year deal comes after the facility had been called Heinz Field since 2001.
