I can't find the contribution link. I did so through a Tribune piece, but it should be stuck at the top of this thread.

Where will the dedication happen? In the stadium or where it is supposed to end up?

The dedication will be where the sculpture is to be permanently mounted. Between the north end of the West Grandstand and the Yordon Center.

One intent was to have it be at a level to have a child comfortably give the statue a high five.

Wish I could be at game. I have personal issues to deal with. I am excited to see the statue. Cheerdad has invested a lot for NIU and he and diesel deserve it.

Since we already have the mold made, maybe we can make another one to replace Pigdog. The players can high-five on the way past.
