MSU Denver in Colorado commissioned us to sculpt this life-size statue of Rowdy the Roadrunner, their mascot! Rowdy is their beloved, energetic mascot.
When MSU Denver was founded, the mustang was chosen as its mascot. However, since the students had to run between numerous buildings scattered across downtown Denver to get to their classes, the campus community took a vote and decided the roadrunner would be a more appropriate and meaningful mascot in 1974.
The Rowdy statue resides in a central location on campus for students and faculty to see. Read more about Rowdy on the MSU Denver Website!
