It was originally located at the top of the museum steps, but the art museum objected to it as a permanent site for the statue. Their main argument was that it was a prop for a fictional movie character, hence it didn't belong on their property. So, it was moved to the front of a sports arena, Spectrum. Later, the statue was moved to its current location at the base of the Steps due to the demolition of the Spectrum sports complex. Now, the museum realized that the Rocky statue is an asset to the museum, because, the demography that comes to see the Rocky statue is unlikely to visit the museum. But the museum is convinced that the conversion rate will be much higher with the statue being near the art museum.
