Neyland Stadium Renovations - Updated

[Ericvol2096]

I wonder how tall the statue will be since Neyland will be on one Knee. Hopefully it is still about 7-10 FT tall

Cherd1 - did you hear anything about where the statute would go?

The statue will be placed at the end of Peyton Manning Pass, under the press box.

so the article says this is where the statue will be placed. It almost looks like it is inside the gate (i hope you can get to it without having to enter the stadium).

Yeah, it's not inside the gate. It IS an area that was previously inside the gate. That's the area directly in front of you under the press box as you face the stadium standing on Peyton Manning Pass.

You can find a pic of the statue's base (taken 7/30) here:

Personally I don't care for the choice of where the statue is being placed. I feel like it'd be much better suited at the main gate

Thanks for the pictures. They turned out well! I like the view from the crossover.

I agree with that. It is like it will be hidden.

I agree with that. It is like it will be hidden.

I would have it free standing in front of the entrance a la Lombardi at Lambeau (Curly himself, too)

it was for a final project so i had to take a lot

Why can't you use Photobucket?

I think the main purpose of the statue location is for the players to directly see it on the way down the hill from the vol walk. I could be mistaken

The updated plans called for 5 smaller, human sized statues to be placed in front of the gate. I highlighted the one on the far right. Are these no longer in the plans?
