If you’ve driven past the UW Field House this past year you’ve probably said, “what the hell is that?”. That, is of course a sculpture of stone footballs that reach to the sky in the shape of an obelisk. I remember when I took my brothers from Milwaukee to Mickie’s Dairy Bar for breakfast and they immediately questioned what it was. There’s no doubt that it makes an impact and people notice it, but I don’t think it’s making the impact that was wanted.
Some want the artwork removed. I can’t really blame them. It is pretty ugly.
