HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- New signs are going into place at the home of the Houston Texans, which will soon have a new but familiar name.

SkyEye13 flew over the stadium on Thursday and captured crews removing World Cup signs and installing the Reliant Energy logo. The building was known as Houston Stadium while the World Cup was in town.

Crews were seen removing the FIFA World Cup signs from the no longer "Houston Stadium" and installing the Reliant Energy logo on Thursday, July 16.

There will be a ribbon-cutting to mark the official return of Reliant Park on July 29.

The Texans play their first game of the regular season at Reliant Stadium on Sept. 13 against the Bills.
