I would like to see the Rocky statue at the Campanelli Stadium because of easy access off of route 24 (exit 17A), ample parking, visibility,monitoring, safety and security reasons as well. Former mayor Yunits discussed with me his idea of having Rocky's fights on the panel areas that now have old time Brockton photos which are fading after 7 years. The idea would to have a panel sponsored by a business or person for $3,000. Beneath enlarged picture a plaque would read "Sponsored by Petti's Market" or "Louis Papadopoulos the Tailor" or "Bay State Gas" (for example). A booklet would be available and have a page corresponding with each panel describing the Rock's fight. It would be an outside, self paced museum. The Strand memeorial is located in city hall plaza because that is where the tragedy occured (nearby). When I leave city hall at night I look at the proposed site, and regardless of how it is cleaned up and beautified, Rocky's statue will be alone and isolated. If located at Campanelli Stadium or in close proximity to the high school, Rocky's statue could become a "Touchdown Jesus" (i.e. Notre Dame) for all athletes to run by on their way into Marciano Stadium. These are just several reasons why I would support Rocky's statue at Campanelli Stadium. Thank you for hosting this important poll.
