Pittsburgh is bringing back the giant ketchup bottle!
Steeler Nation was forced to say goodbye to Heinz Field last year when the stadium went under a name change to Acrisure Stadium after the sponsorship deal with the ketchup corporation came to an end.
Breaking: Heinz Field is no more. The ketchup giant will not extend its naming rights deal for 2022. Sources say a new name for the stadium could be announced this week.

However, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Heinz are back together, as Kraft Heinz announced that the massive 35-foot ketchup bottle — a fan favorite among Steelers fans — will be returning as a part of a partnership between the ketchup giant and stadium.
Just check out the Sixburgh glory:

This is so cool, man.
If you’ve never been to Pittsburgh, then I suggest going, because it’s truly one of the coolest cities in the United States. The sights of old swagger, yellow bridges and three rivers will pull you in, and you also can’t forget about their beautiful skyline.
It’s an awesome city.
Mix in their championship professional sports teams, the Steelers and Penguins (even though they’re not the best and have cheap ownership), the vibe of a Pirates game (I’ve been to a couple), and you have an American sports heaven.
You see where I’m going with this?
Pittsburgh is such a cool city. (RELATED: 25-Year-Old Tua Tagovailoa Considered Retirement After 2022 Season)
