The UAB National Alumni Society raised the $30,000 needed to commission the gree and gold-painted sculpture from Homosassa, Florida artist T.J. Neil. It was dedicated on April 29, 2008.
The 7,000 pound statue stands 9 feet tall and 16 feet long. It is illuminated by four green floodlights at night.
