I love the monument. The only thing that I wish is that it were on the other side of the stadium. I like Diaco's change with having the players come through the student section for warmup's. Right now, there are hardly any students ever there. But over time I think that it will catch on. It would be cool to have the number "6" there to greet the players as they head down the stairs to the field.

Regardless of where it is, I like it a lot and am grateful for the work that all parties involved put forward to make it happen.

Thanks Darren, originally we wanted to have it over there, but because of the weight of it, we couldn't put it there. The locker rooms are below there and the cement isnt strong enough for the almost 4 ton statue. Also, fire codes wouldn't allow it directly behind the students as we had hoped. So, the other end it was. The location makes it a real part of the stadium, not just stuck in some corner, but visible from almost every seat.
