Iconic Budweiser sign to be replaced
Workers taking down the giant Budweiser sign that sits on top of the Anheuser Busch brewery building.
The Budweiser sign has been on the building since 1979. It will be replaced with a newer, brighter sign that uses LED technology.
According to the company's website, the "B" is 18 feet tall and weighs 2400 lbs. The remaining letters are 15 feet tall and weigh anywhere from 450-1600 lbs. depending on the letter.
