On that note: On which side is the statue of Steve Gleason. It's up on the main concourse... right?

I think it's between Gate A and champion square from what I've seen...

In the picture, I could see the Macy's parking garage which makes me think that's where it is but isn't that where the Vietnam Memorial Statue is?

hahaha... well diddly poo didnt come until at least the season opener.... before that, it was, "This is it.... we're gonna do it this year.... we already had the defense ....now we have a quarterback! Richard Todd will lead
us to the promise land."

I honestly am making a best guess. If I head to the post office today or tomorrow I might pass by and see if I can eye-ball it.

Can't tell if that's where it was placed or dedicated.

Thanks. I don't want to have to run all over the place to see it. The concourse itself is a half mile loop and I have to run a mile just to get there and still be able to run the mile back.... and in that heat!!
