Victory Statue Adjoining Rutgers SHI Stadium #157426118
Description
Hours before Rutgers season-opening August, 30, 2019 football game, a $500,000 statue, entitled `Victory,` was unveiled next to the university`s SHI Stadium in Piscataway, New Jersey. It is hoped the sculpture will serve as a rallying point for future generations of state`s flagship university`s students. The mounted knight on horseback is emblematic of the school`s nickname, the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers beat Princeton 6-4 in the first inter-collegiate football game which was played in neighboring New Brunswick in 1869. Rutgers celebrated the 150th anniversary by beating the University of Massachusetts 48-21 on the gridiron, later that evening.
