Statues add to stadium's aura

They've stood in front of Lambeau Field for 7 ½ years and they possess just as much presence as they were crafted to carry, if not more.

I hope they do more. And the Starr one should be closer to lambeau imo

I also hope they do more. There are a lot of great players in our heritage who deserve to be remembered.

Yes, move Bart closer, and while you are at it, let's honor the great Ray Nitschke with a statue of this...

I would say have a statue of Paul Hornung there too, but fans would have to choose between this pic of him following Jerry Kramer on Lombardi's famous "Packer Sweep" ( I know they have a simular likeness of the "Golden Boy" at Notre Dame)

or the one we never got to see, the one of him with one hand wrapped around a scotch & soda and the other hand wrapped around some blonde...

Of course the queenies have to do anything the Packers do ( except win Super Bowls...)

...but here is the statue they are contemplating putting up outside that toilet bowl they call a football field, honoring three of their greatest players...

I think every SB winning "era" should be represented with a statue.
I know it's too soon, but Favre and/or Holmgren should have their statues around Lambeau, and so should Rodgers and/or McCarthy someday.

I don't like the idea of having a lot of statues though.
But maybe one statue for every chmpionship? With the key components?

Say, we won 7 with Lombardi. So, Lombardi, Starr, Hornung, Nitschke, Kramer, Taylor and Davis, for example.
Of course, those of Lombardi and Lambeau should be the most imponent, biggest ones. And I don't like the idea of having Starr closer to Lombardi. It takes some of the imponence away.

I agree. I don't think we want too many statues around. A statue should be reserved for those really special players/coaches who add to the legacy of the team. I don't even think it should be about SB alone or personal accomplishments.
