Where is the Rocky Statue at in Philly ?

• going to spend the day in Philly to a Phillies game, and one of the things I wanna see is the Rocky statue and run up the Rocky steps...where are these two things at ?

• Answer:

  It's actually in storage right now. It went from the Art Museum steps (where he ran up and where there is still a bronze plaque with his Converse All-Stars shoe prints in it at the top of the stairs), to the Spectrum, then to the Wachovia Center and now to storage. It is said that it will be brought back out, especially with the new Rocky movie coming out in Decemeber, but there's a debate as to where it should be placed. The pompous Philly art crowd thinks that a 25 year old Philadelphia land-mark-of-a-statue may ugly up their Art Museum steps, so they're fighting to get it placed at the bottom and off to the side. This is to be continued. If you take the Broad Street Line (Orange Line) North to City Hall after the game, you can pop out on to the streets and look west, down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and will be able to see the Art Museum about a mile away. It's a bit of a walk, but it is a nice area. You can also look it up and find all of the spots that he ran down, like the Italian Market in South Philly.
