Protect the TW
Please respect the TW Statue
We are excited by the response of the TW statue at the entrance of State Bank Stadium. But we are asking that we have no person, or their child, standing climbing or sitting on top of the TW. We are trying to make sure that it will stay in great condition for years to come.
