First look at the Unconquered statue
The long-anticipated bronze sculpture by Fritz White named "Unconquered" depicts a spear-brandishing Seminole astride a rearing horse, and is designed to capture the indomitable spirit of the Seminole people and those who have adopted that spirit as a symbol for their university. The massive structure, including its granite-covered pedestal-base, stands approximately 31 feet from ground level to the tip of the spear, about the height of a three-story building. At sunset the night before each home game, the spear will be ignited and burn until sunrise on the morning after the game. "Unconquered" rises above the Williams Family Plaza at the north end of Langford Green outside the south entrance to Doak S. Campbell Stadium.
The official unveiling of the statue takes place Friday, October 10, 2003 at 7:30 PM.
