The Seattle Center venue is now known as Climate Pledge Arena after Amazon secured the naming rights last month.

A helicopter and crews on the roof helped remove the iconic KeyArena sign and key symbol one at a time.

This will be the new home of Seattle’s NHL team and the WNBA’s Seattle Storm.

Construction is still on going at the site.
